Found this last night. Today it reminded me of the small convo in Sunday group about this of us being seen as a a threat/pariah for our actions. I also think about Family Systems therapy where it is believed that families has dysfunctional anxieties that have been normalized and considered "safe". Once one steps away from this, the normalization/mean is thrown out of equilibrium.
I would argue that those who "step away" lean in the direction of life and its attendant risks.
Interesting responses in applying his argument to woke culture....
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
Some lyrics for a song I was working on yesterday. Some have told me I tend to/am descent at waxing poetic.
I’m about as quiet on Facebook as I am in Solid Ground meetings, but I ‘liked’ a post about the most recent Let’s Go Washington Super Signer Rally. Within a minute or so I got a private message from a coworker asking if I know these are “right wing, anti-trans initiatives.” I told him I know what they’re about and that I support keeping boys and men out of girls’ and women’s sports and spaces. We went back and forth a few times, with him telling me lots of women don’t support this (“ask around”) and also to “do your homework.”
I’m going to try to take an early lunch tomorrow so I can tune in to the livestream with Amy Sousa. Perfect timing.
