Not sure if you have been following this story (Megyn Kelly has touched on it), but a female high school basketball player recently refused to play when she realized there was a boy playing on the opposing team and she also went up to the boy and told him she knew he was masculine (I am not sure if she said man or boy). The school proceeded to sanction her for harrassment, and the case has gotten a lot of local and some national media attention. FAIR has stepped in to support the girl. One of our members informed us in today's peer-support group that a local podcaster has interviewed the girl and the boy, and he was able to provide a link to the latter (it sounds like the former is paywalled).
Here is the letter FAIR wrote to the Office of Civil Rights asking them to investigate this case: https://www.fairforall.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/Civil-Rights-Complaint_Tumwater-Schools.pdf
I made this for my friend's daughter who is trying out pottery. I've been making her little instructional videos and this one is a timelapse of me trimming and putting a handle on a mug. Thought I would share in case you guys find this interesting.
Someone shared this with me who said it had been circulating in the Hasidic community. Will likely offend a lot of people these days.
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
One of the women who bullied me on Twitter last year (because they didn't like my husband's podcast topics/guests) and tried to get me fired showed up in my comments today. I asked her to leave me alone and she responded by blocking me. Good riddance, but I find myself wishing I'd told her to fuck off more strongly. As in "please do fuck right off."

Just had "canvassers" bang loudly on our front door and ring the doorbell twice. I opened the door hesitantly because of the aggression. It was a young person (looked like a teen boy dressed as a girl, wearing heavy makeup and a long furry red tail 🤦♀️) accompanied by an older woman wearing a shirt with the pride progress flag that said "no hate." They were urging a vote on some proposition to do with trans kids in schools.
I'm afraid I was somewhat rude.
