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
If you want a glimpse into the dark world Matt Walsh is commenting on, Im providing a link to the parenting regret subreddit. It's pretty horrible.
What's interesting from my perspective as a mom who had my first baby mid COVID, I was constantly baffled that nobody said he was cute, that they treated him like a problem. That doctors refused to see me for my post partum check up unless I LEFT MY 6 WEEK OLD IN THE HALLWAY.
In retrospect, I realize it was because they were afraid of him. Yes afraid of a baby because they might catch COVID. Adults were prioritizing their own safety over a baby. "Leave your six week old in a hallway, I might get sick" is literally what a doctor told me though not so bluntly. More like "Due to our COVID policy, you can't take your baby in the room so you'll have to leave him in the hallway" yea....
For the record- I didn't do it. I just NEVER got my post partum physical follow up because I'm sorry Im not leaving my baby in a fucking hallway.
Then as Ekounobi points ...
The Lindsey Clancy case being conflated with post partum is increasing stigma and anxiety for women with normal post partum

Here's a link with information on Post Partum Harm OCD and intrusive thoughts And how the conflation is freaking out and making things worse for people with post partum OCD. I'm not a fan of NOCD but this article gives good insight into how deceptive the narrative has gotten and how it's f-ing over normal women.

Me personally...I think she's a sociopath. This information is super available in post Partum circles. She had three pregnancies so three post partum cycles, access to the Internet, familiarity with psychology and lingo. I think she used intrusive thoughts to set up her situation. She knew she would be dismissed because that is common practice. She knew she could then claim the system had failed her. ...
I keep hearing the wrong claim that Lindsey Clanct will never walk free if she's found not guilty by insanity. Absolutely wrong. This drives me nuts because there's a well documented stream of murderers who have walked free thanks to an Insanity or Manslaughter plea in otherwise clear murder cases.
