1. Very grateful that the Petaluma UU church seems to be such a good fit for me.
2. Grateful to be finding my place in and making connections here in town and in Sonoma county. It was my own fault for not attending to those needs when I first settled here a year ago.
3. Gifted with 2 large zucchini and 3 lemon cucumbers from someone at church today.

1. Excellent and meaningful (to me) sermon from Rev. Aija today
2. Such interesting people and the stories of their spiritual path at the Path to Membership meeting today.
3. While making the decision to move Alyssa back to MA was hard, and then my decision to move back to CA, it was the right thing. Her sister is excellent at managing her care at this stage of the disease.

‘Het deugt niet om onderzoek te doen terwijl je er een duidelijk financieel belang bij hebt’, zegt hoogleraar Integriteit.
Het feit dat #Verster op zijn privérekening betaald kreeg, terwijl hij zich als #UU-onderzoeker presenteerde, noemt Van Eijbergen ‘problematisch en hoogst ongebruikelijk’.

Protest against University Utrecht normalising genocide
Bibliotheek Neude, Utrecht, zondag 26 juli om 19:30 CEST
UNIVERSITY UTRECHT NORMALISES GENOCIDE AND HOSTS PARTICIPANTS WITH TIES TO THE ISRAELI MILITARY
From July 26 to August 1, Utrecht University College (UCU) will host the 2026 European University Debate Championship (EUDC) organised by Utrecht University's Utrecht Debating Society. A significant number of participants represent Israeli universities and have ties to the Israeli military involved in war crimes and human rights violations.
ISRAELI UNIVERSITIES DIRECTLY INVOLVED IN WAR CRIMES
Even though Utrecht University's rector announced in September that the university would engage in a boycott of Israeli institutions, 68 of the 375 EUDC registered speakers that represent debating societies linked to Israeli universities. U fonds financially supports Utrecht Debating Society hosting and co- organising this championship.
While Israel continues its genocidal assault on Palestinians in Gaza and maintains its system of occupation and apartheid in the West Bank, Ucu has chosen to host teams including people with ties to the military involved in war crimes and grave human rights violations. They represent Israeli universities complicit in genocide, occupation and apartheid.
ISRAELI UNIVERSITIES' TIES WITH THE MILITARY
Israeli universities are part of a system of occupation, colonization, genocide, and oppression: They have long-standing ties with the military, they have campuses in occupied Palestinian territory, and function as central pillars to Israel's settler colonial project. From legal studies, to military research and training, the medical sciences, archeology, technology and beyond, Israeli universities service and legitimise israeli occupation and expansion.
Since October 2023, Israel wiped off all eleven universities in Gaza. 516 of the 563 schools were destroyed or damaged, and 6,830 students and 334 teachers and staff members were killed. There is no longer formal education for 625,000 students. Libraries and historical archives have been burned to the ground. Not a word of protest was heard from the Israeli universities - let alone any assistance offered.
ACADEMIC EXCHANGE THAT NORMALIZES OPPRESSION
By offering these institutions an international platform, Utrecht University, Utrecht University College and Utrecht Debating Society contribute to the normalization of genocide and apartheid.
Universities cannot claim to stand for justice while providing an international platform to institutions linked to military occupation, dispossession, and violence against Palestinians and Lebanese peoples.
Academic institutions have a choice: stand with the oppressed or normalize oppression. By proceeding with this event without addressing these concerns, UCU is choosing normalization.
We refuse to accept the whitewashing of Israeli state violence through academic exchange.

Alexs Zakkas van de Haagse Hogeschool met een zeer sprekend voorbeeld hoe fundamenteel problematisch BigTech is:
"Hey CoPilot, doe eens een slide in onze huisstijl met de tekst 'No War' "CoPilot: nee.

Yesterday the U.S. Department of Defense or whatever they call it now decided that my religion isn't a possible religion, along with a lot of other people's religions. I'm a UU. This won't have an impact on my personal daily life, but as a member of a minority group religion, I definitely do notice it. I normally try not to mention religion on social media, but I don't see my own students on Mastodon, so I guess it's OK. Here I am, and I'm still a UU. #UU #UnitarianUniversalism #religion

@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.”

Can't wait to see this. "Henry David Thoreau helped define modern environmentalism and nonviolent resistance, yet his life has been obscured by myth. The author of Walden and Civil Disobedience, he was brilliant but flawed, idealistic but opinionated." #UU #UUA #Minimalism #Thoreau #Nature #Nature
