I’m at Disneyland this weekend with my brother and his little family (set to have an additional member next year!) I do love it here. I have a special place in my heart for the Disney parks.
But working at the Haunted Mansion was a man, a transwoman, wearing a face mask and…get this…a hijab. Like…going for all of the “right” identities??? I was thoroughly confused.
Then watching a train worker trying to communicate with a non-English speaking family through her facemask. I’m just sick of what looks like virtue signaling.
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
Hi Lovely People of Solid Ground,
I’m writing to let you know after some deep reflection that I’ve decided I need to do a bit of a reset on many levels of my life, and as a result, I will be stepping away from Solid Ground, at least for a few months. I’m finding I need to be spending less time scrolling on X, listening to podcasts, watching YouTube, and generally absorbing more content than I can process; and also feel a need to be spending more time trying to build in-real-life, in-person connections. I would also like to be spending more time engaged in my spiritual life, which used to be a big part of my life but has dwindled down to next to nothing. My official final day is November 7. I will likely pop into Locals from time to time, however, but may take a break from that for a few weeks.
It has meant so much to me to be engaged with you all these past few years. It is really has been an honor to be able to hear your stories, challenges, ways of making sense of the last few...
