Great photos from the #StopTheBans protests! My photo of the Boston protest made the recap for MA. When you know your hashtags, how to tag media outlets, and what they’re looking for, you get the coverage

Do you know who the "Unitarian observers" to the trial were? Thanks!
I always wish it said "a" church, not "the" church. We're not the only nice people, or even the only open-minded ones. The hand motions aren't specific in that way, fortunately.

Great suggestion 4) if you do buy a plastic bottle, use it as your reusable!
Or reuse that damn thing until it gives up - therefore making it less bad than single use. There's no requirement to use it once!
Given plastic bottles mostly go to sea, won’t you please: 1. If you don’t have one, buy and start using a reusable travel mug or water bottle. 2. Stop buying single use plastic bottles. 3. If you have to buy a plastic bottle, say you’re sorry to the ocean it will end up in. https://twitter.com/uumfe/status/1126857079673769984 …
Yes to patience! I'm particularly fond of the formula = focus + persistence + patience. Ah, nature. You're the best... Have a great Friday, @RevDebra.

We must defend the web of life of which we are a part if we are to continue living. #UUTwitter
I hear you. But for those still cranking out the paper bundles...
Might also be the time to stop printing orders of service entirely, except when necessary for accessibility I know they’re a well-loved tradition, but they also don’t contain any information that can’t be posted online, projected during service, or posted on bulletin boards.
As a congregant, I’d roll my eyes. One, because it means you need to keep reprinting a cover. Two, because you would be preaching to the choir that wants an hour of respite between the news and debate, I mean coffee, hour.
How do you think members of your congregation would react if you did this? If you want to experiment, maybe you could have it just under the name of congregation and date. Here's link to get info if you want to bookmark. https://www.co2.earth/daily-co2 Tweeted at 415 ppm. https://twitter.com/uuplanet/status/1125451920880078848 …

@K8Ehawkes Glad you had good visit to one of our congregations. Particularly happy to hear what was discussed, especially climate.

Did you live stream your service? Record a video? A sermon audio podcast episode? Make sure to tweet links to your media. Right now only a tiny fraction of our UU content is getting on to Twitter — BRING IT ON#UUSunday
Love is love? No shit, Sherlock. Human beings can commit illegal acts and be in a state of criminality. What kind of Pollyanna crap is this?

If you're going to the @UUA's General Assembly conference, don't forget to make a plan to minimize / offset your carbon emissions. Air travel is a luxury our climate can't afford. What's your plan?

Yes! This is so true.
