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
From the piece:
"...we have assembled a group of academics, intellectuals, and civic leaders who, today, are proud to unveil the Manhattan Statement on Higher Education, which recapitulates the crisis of the universities and calls on Trump to advance six principles for reform: truth over ideology, institutional neutrality, color-blind equality, free speech, civil discourse, and administrative transparency."
The statement has an impressive list of signatories: Chris Rufo, Jordan Peterson, Peter Boghossian, Ayaan Hirsi Ali, Niall Ferguson, Christine Hoff Summers, Victor David Hansen and more.
This video that Walter Kirn happened to post brought me some delight. Check out those costumes!
