I made this for my friend's daughter who is trying out pottery. I've been making her little instructional videos and this one is a timelapse of me trimming and putting a handle on a mug. Thought I would share in case you guys find this interesting.

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

James Lindsey suggested that in order to stop socialism in America, normie Democrats may need to vote for (moderate) Republicans a couple times to knock the zealous Democratic Socialists down a few pegs. But how in the world can this happen when most
Democratics have completely deranged views about conservatives, calling them “facists”, obviously having lost the actual meaning of the word. Any ideas on how we get out of this mess?

Excellent article about Weight Stigma Awareness Week. Poses very valid questions about ideology and comes at the issue clearly in good faith. Steven has other articles posing similarly valid questions to people and organizations. Great takes on how ideology has infiltrated the eating disorder field. https://adadsjourneywitheatingdisorders.home.blog/2026/09/07/3940/?fbclid=IwY2xjawUNQ_BwZG9mBWV4dG4DYWVtAjExAGJyaWQRMU9DZ1BxOWRvekQ0NEplUkhzcnRjBmFwcF9pZBAyMjIwMzkxNzg4MjAwODkyAAEeAVIE57bTkz4qWBv6mPTytxBCA9BjbceS_vSR728PvqdwLN4GAKJ8uXMP_8M_aem_nVvlkAXA8a7TvH9ZPHjhrg

As a SAHP for many years (with side gigs) I was excited to see this plan to use federal funds to help families. We pay a hefty economic price as a single-income household. Sadly, my husband's response was the opposite because of the biased slant. The headline alone: Trump Officials Draft Plan to Pay At-Home Parents, Using Funds for Working Ones. https://www.nytimes.com/2026/09/05/us/politics/stay-at-home-parents-subsidies.html
