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
As a SAHP for many years (with side gigs) I was excited to see this plan to use federal funds to help families. We pay a hefty economic price as a single-income household. Sadly, my husband's response was the opposite because of the biased slant. The headline alone: Trump Officials Draft Plan to Pay At-Home Parents, Using Funds for Working Ones. https://www.nytimes.com/2026/09/05/us/politics/stay-at-home-parents-subsidies.html
"Witnesses informed officers that Walsh had become “very invested” with the Lindsay Clancy trial.
According to authorities, Walsh was actively discussing the case in a group message with her friends up until 12:30 p.m. on Tuesday, while the jury was still deliberating in Massachusetts."
This is what happens when we don't hold people accountable. Bad people learn they have a get out jail free card. Or that they'll become heroes. .
