I'm having a conversation with an acquaintance tomorrow who just went to CPAC and seems to think they are all in upside-down world. I agree with him on a couple of his points but am mostly going to need to counter him on a lot of them. He noted in a recent Medium piece on his visit to CPAC that he encountered a lot of Orwellian language. I'm thinking have you not been listening to your own side, but I'm also forgetting a lot of the particular instances in which we have seen that take place. Could you guys help me think of some good instances?
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
You or someone in your fam? It's Christmas shopping time and I'd prefer to support small biz and folks I know. I also just listed some of my ceramics on Etsy and can share a link if y'all are interested. 🎄
Got turned around in the group today but hope it was eventful!:)
Was happy to ruminate on Individuation and group think.
Also with some questioning of an analogy made with human society and collectivity/herd instinct as one might compare us to other animals, crows for example roll in murders and are monogamous.
Schools, mumurations, heck, why not go with praying mantids and the feast on male heads or clown fish and the infamous sex change?
Animal comparison takes us so far and then humanism would proceed with reason and rationale, hopefully tempered by the monsters on the margins, the shadow, the Tik Tok in the gaping maw of Father Time?
Anyone else know this game? Apparently it's a Canadian invention- kinda like air hockey or shuffleboard. My husband is obsessed and my boys are getting super into it, too. Pretty wooden board, fun to play. Anyway, just thought I'd see if y'all had heard of it. It's brand new to me. Any other favorite games?
