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

"A 2023 study from psychologists Christopher D Petsko and Nour S Kteily uncovered something troubling about how Americans see one another.

"This gap matters. Seeing someone as immature leads to contempt — you laugh at them, dismiss them, refuse to take them seriously. *Seeing someone as ...
I tried for a long time to conceal my political change — to keep the door open to my old world on the left. I fought for dialogue and connection, hoping I could break through the same brainwashing I had escaped and take the people I loved with me.
But Charlie Kirk’s assassination was my breaking point. The mask slipped in the most horrifying way, and I am disgusted.
Charlie was one of the first voices to break through my walls of indoctrination. To see him murdered in front of his wife and children for doing that vital work, helping thousands of others wake up, is heartbreaking. And watching the left excuse, minimize, or even celebrate that tragedy has made one thing clear: it’s time to walk away.
You can’t reason with this kind of derangement.
This is fascinating. @HonestDog, you will likely find this of interest. https://pca.st/episode/8a159f25-8e57-4492-aa4a-771762f83651
