Piggybacking on Kim Hampton’s first-things-first approach (do read it) to ability and accessibility, let me humbly ask that all producers of online audio or video media create a text transcript to accompany it.
This is a matter of access in these ways:
Some people cannot see and other cannot hear. Text allows people to read, to hear [...]
Cranky Cindy wrote about mountaintop coal mining, and the environmental disaster is causes.
Universalist fun fact: the much-reported town deluged by coal ash, Harriman, Tennessee, was the site of the church extension project of the Young People’s Christian Union, a predecessor to Unitarian Universalist young adult ministries.
Not-so-fun fact: coal is not clean. It pollutes the air, [...]
I wrote about Interfaith Worker Justice before. Good stuff.
Now be sure to note and use these resources for congregation.
And pray for those who labor and employ, for those who make their own work, and those who have not enough work to earn their daily bread.

Kim Hampton replied to my last post, writing:
It’s funny that you’re writing about this today. I’ve been thinking about fear for the past week or so (especially since Barack won in Iowa). I’ve worried the whole time that Barack has been in the race that he would get shot.
Yes, I’ve been harboring a fear [...]
I’ve been writing about BarCamp, Unconferences and Open Space Technology — but how do you do it?
[Later. I realized I haven't written about BarCamp or Unconferences, but intended to introduce them before publishing this. "A BarCamp is an ad-hoc gathering born from the desire for people to share and learn in an open environment"-- using [...]
Nobody wants to be a burden on their survivors and so the funeral insurance business prospers under the euphemism, “final expense protection.” Hubby and I are particularly drawn to the TV ad with an elderly woman dropping quarters into an expired parking meter. Time’s up!
You know there has to be a terrible catch and expense, [...]
We all know the Desert Island game — immortalized on the BBC with its Desert Island Disks show — where you are limited to x number of books or records for an indefinite amount of time.
Not quite in the spirit of the game (unless one had it cached on a solar-powered laptop) is the [...]
I recall what my seminary worship professor said about the clergy: that we are, among other things, “ritual technologists.” We ought to know the right way to do the mechanics of worship. I thought about this when I commented favorably to a Presbyterian minister about his denomination’s must-have Book of Common Worship. He responded to [...]
Prowling the Internet tonight for websites related to the dissemination of practical information to persons in developing countries, an interest I’ve had since childhood. (Yes, I was a bit of an odd child, but then again, I figured once The Bomb dropped, and assuming I survived, I thought it would be worth knowing how to [...]
I recall a few years ago that when a couple decided to broadcast a live video of their wedding it made international news. No more, it seems, in these last days. But don’t get me started about the institution of marriage, well, until later anyway.
A couple of days ago, I stumbled across a small [...]
