Okay, I’m considering converting to Unitarian Universalism—because I believe technical progress should be guided by ethics, not profit.

I see enshitification—the degradation of technology into exploitative tools—as a moral failure. Progress should serve humanity, not degrade it.

Maybe we need a Mastodon congregation of Unitarian Universalists? If you’re a UU here, let’s talk—seriously.

@AliceMarshall @IveyJanette Welp. Guess my own faith (UU)has been excluded from US military recognized religions. Someone needs to tell a lot of Senators and Congressmen.

“This restructuring of faith codes, which help identify service members as well as the military in planning for appropriated religious coverage to include them, has now excluded minority faith/worldview groups including Atheists, Asatru, Deists, Druids, Eckankar, Heathens, Humanists, Magick, New Age churches, Pagan, Rosicrucianism, Shaman, Spiritualists, Troth, Unitarian Universalists and various Wiccans.”

My 8year old did a project about heritage and she drew a coconut tree to show her father’s family is in Miami and “a church sign to show my mom goes to church”. I showed her how to draw a Chalice. #Unitarian

Took my mum up to shady grove Unitarian chapel and cemetery where our ancestor John monks is buried. He donated the land to the church in the 1850s #unitarian #adelaide

Fyi, this is the 78th annual service, an incredible legacy from TBI, First Unitarian Church of Oklahoma City and Mayflower Congregational Church

This morning I'm reminded of this quote from Frances Ellen Watkins Harper in 1866:

"We are all bound up together in one great bundle of humanity, and society cannot trample on the weakest and feeblest of its members without receiving the curse in its own soul".

Therapy is just #unitarian exorcism.

Two people now have asked me if I say “beloveds” because of some hot guy on #tiktok

No, I say “beloveds” because I’m #unitarian you buttholes

These are powerful and wise words for those of us struggling with idealism in this immoral and evil world.

Learn "How to Have an Enemy".

Take a few minutes to listen. You won't be sorry.

Why rejoice in the misfortune of others

One way to feel my social status improving is if someone else lowers theirs. And so, when I see someone mess up in ways that cause them to lose face, and thus lose social status, I can feel a burst of satisfaction as my own status is raised, at no cost to me.

Less Dumb

A modest proposal about popes...

So, another pope has died and his ashes will soon be emitted from the chimney on the Sistine Chapel. It is time to select a new pope.

But the pope has presided over a seemingly endless series of scandals for generations. They keep electing new popes, but the problems never go away. Why can't they solve these problems?

Looking for commonalities among all the popes of the last century or so, one stood out to me: they're all Catholic!

Maybe they should try choosing a nice Unitarian, or perhaps a Wiccan? They'd have at least as good a chance of solving the problems as the last umpteen Catholic popes. Maybe even better.

It's worth a shot.
