Facebook is down, and for most of our audience, that means they won’t know we posted this. We’ve asked people to subscribe to the blog by email and we encourage people to follow us on Twitter and/or Tumblr. We do that because we are all far too reliant on Facebook and it’s whims. I post […]
IAmUU.net is currently more than 300 pages devoted to Unitarian Universalist outreach and faith development. We have people from all over the world who rely on our website to help keep them connected to Unitarian Universalism (something one international patron said just last week). We are really proud of what we’ve published there. We want […]
Sure, Facebook is huge! But here in the US, Facebook growth is fairly flat. It is great for keeping up with the people and brands you are familiar with. You might even get introduced to something new from something a friend shares. What it isn’t built for is showing you new things; not new ideas […]
It has become pretty common knowledge over the last couple of years that Facebook makes choices for you. Facebook has developed very clever programs, like robots that watch the site for them. Those programs pick what goes on your screen in hopes of keep you looking at the screen longer and seeing just a few […]
I have so much worry. I have so much trepidation and anxiety. I have so much hope. I have so much love and compassion. I have no idea how to turn those feelings, that energy, into solutions to the problems that we face. I know where I want us all to get to, but I […]
I wasn’t sure what this week’s Monday Meditation was going to be. I wasn’t even sure there would be one (more on that at the bottom of the page). It is Sunday night and I now see what I have to write about. And I hope you all aren’t sick of it yet. This afternoon […]
Like a lot of Generation X, I grew up watching PBS. Honestly, I probably watched much more than average. The local station, KERA, has a huge budget relative to other markets and was the first station in the US to offer British comedies. I grew up on Sesame Street, but also Justin Wilson and Julia […]
My name is Thomas Earthman. The I Am UU project is my ministry. I am not an ordained minister. I’m not trained to do the work of a parish minister. I do have, as the UUA puts it, “gifts to share with [my] faith community and the wider world.” My commitment to community ministry has […]
To Unitarian Universalists across the US and the World, My name is Thomas Earthman, and I am the founder and administrator of the I Am UU project. Currently, that is some claim to fame in a fairly small circle. What I am hoping is that I can make it a path to greater acceptance of […]
Hey Folks! This is Thomas, the founder, administrator, graphic designer, writer and editor of the I Am UU project. I pretty much do it all around here. And now I’m taking the rest of this week off. That means a lot of things won’t be done the usual way. It has been years since I […]
