Looking back at 2024 is like watching a horror movie through the space between your fingers. But there was a lot of good if you look in the right places. Here's my round-up of non-political highs in an otherwise low year:

Dr. Sheri Prudโhomme. In the lower half of the image, four illustrated hands of different skin tones hold up colorful flowers. The flowers vary in shapes and colors: red, peach, yellow, and orange. Around the hands, there are small decorative elements like orange stars and abstract line drawings of spark-like shapes. The background is a textured light gray. In the bottom left corner is a black UUA flaming chalice symbol, and in the bottom right corner, small text reads "UUA.ORG ."
#UnitarianUniversalism embraces pluralism, honoring diversity in beliefs, cultures, and experiences. There are many paths to the sacred, and dialogue across differences deepens our understanding.
How do you create space for this in your life?

Dark red butterflies are emerging from the megaphone and are scattered across the graphic On the left is an excerpt from the poem โThe Butterfly Effectโ written in white text: โฆThis is how we rise. This day is polluted with a mistrust of truth, fertile and warm medium for unchecked cruelty and power. You must choose to scream the truth until every leaf and stone bears unrepentant witness. to what happens when you try to cage and smash, to pin and frame a butterfly and their thousands and thousands of fabulous, flamboyant friends. At the bottom, smaller white font is the attribution: Excerpted from โThe Butterfly Effectโ in Spilling the Light, by UU Rev. Juliรกn Jamaica Soto. In the top-right corner, the "UU World" logo is displayed in white within a blue rectangle, accompanied by the website URL: UUWORLD.ORG.
Rev. Juliรกn Jamaica Sotoโs โThe Butterfly Effectโ reminds us that small actions shape the worldโa truth reflected in Dr. Kingโs legacy. On MLK Day, we honor his bold dream of justice, equality, and love, carried forward by collective action. Read the full poem at bit.ly/4jlWJrM. #MLK #UU

The Russians and Chinese canโt believe their luck.
This is Bishop Marianne Edgar Budde.
Bishop Marianne Edgar Budde gives great sermons.
Bishop Marianne Edgar Budde knows how to fight the oligarchy.
Bishop Marianne Edgar Budde is smart.
Be like Bishop Marianne Edgar Budde.
In the new Trump presidency, we have got to remain focused. We canโt panic.
No matter how many executive orders he signs or statements he issues, our goal is the same:
We must fight to create an America based on economic, social & environmental justice.

Hegseth has defended war criminals & rejected international law. Heโs a prominent advocate for privatizing the VA. He was forced to step down from leading two advocacy groups after repeated allegations of financial mismanagement, sexual harassment & alcohol abuse. Iโm voting NO.

To those flabbergasted & shocked by this week, please remember our country won't change until millions of apathetic people feel what you're feeling right now.
It will take TIME. Don't lose yourself in the interim. Find ways to feel safe, feel joy, love a lot.
Build a stoic calm amidst the chaos. ๐
Best way to resist: be happy!

It's outrageous that the President would betray officers who defended our democracy by absolving violent insurrectionists of their crimes.
President Trump: You do not stand for law and order when you give a free pass to rioters who attacked the police.
In fact, you are signaling that violence is okay and attacking law enforcement is acceptable behavior.
If they were actively trying to start another pandemic, I'm not sure what they'd be doing differently.
