Love it? Hate it? Want to talk about it? Reminder for those subscribed to our synchronous discussion groups - join us for tonight's chat about the movie Wicked at 4pm pacific/7pm eastern. Unlimited attendance for this one but we will stop admitting people after the first 10 minutes. We will chat for 90 min to two hours, depending on interest!
And come with your suggestions and recommendations for future media discussions, too, which we can share at the end of the chat.
I look forward to seeing y'all there :)
Hi everyone, I haven't been active in Solid Ground for a while, but I am still alive and kicking! I now work as personal assistant to a mind-bendingly weird and diva-esque artist-lip-syncher-performer named Fiona Blueberry. She is blissfully clueless about politics and seems to be completely unaware of the culture wars. Working with her is a breath of fresh air. If you need a mood lift, I encourage you to watch this video we made together. Happy 4th, everyone! Wishing you fun/love/peace on this holiday. :) www.fionablueberry.com
I'm halfway through and excited to share this. These are some Christian men concerned about what they are seeing happening in churches from the right (while also still acknowledging all the problems of the left). In particular, they don't think Christians should be engaged in a political project; and they also see how wokeness, victimhood, and blaming on either side doesn't uplift men and the broader society.
Michael Moynihan of the Fifth Column launched a show on 2WAY a month or two ago, and recently interviewed Doomscroll host Josh Citarella. I didn't listen to that interview at the time, but Josh got my attention when one of our SG members mentioned his interview with Catherine Liu. I watched and enjoyed that and started to watch his interview with Jennifer Pan from Jacobin, then circled back to this interview of Josh. He seems to be trying to earnestly understand the current political map and emergences, including understanding what's going on with the youth. His own leanings are as a social democrat, but he seems curious and able to converse with an array of people.
