The real reason for the season
We’re between Hanukkah and Christmas, so you know what that means: It’s time for my annual holiday message. Reblogged from a 2016 post: I was doing rite to Hathor, the Lady of Love, today (i.e. December 16), and something came to me. Maybe it isn’t earth-shattering, but I wanted to share it with you guys. Let’s not lose sight of this during the holiday season. Whether you think the reason for…

“God is not your step-and-fetch-it,” my husband would sometimes say when he was a believer. So why do I pray to Bast only when I have a sick cat? My statue of Bast, sitting on my altar. Since my conversion (the 17th anniversary of which I just celebrated), I have had kind of a distanced relationship with Bast. It was Aset, Hathor and Nephthys who came to my rescue that night. I confess I was…

The 8th Principle of Unitarian Universalism
Borrowed with permission from Rev. Paula Cole-Jones. I’ve definitely been getting more into UUism lately. I’m joining groups and reading books, and I even volunteered to be my church’s Collecting Treasurer, a role I take over on July 1st. (Do I know what I’m doing? Heck, no. When has that ever stopped me?) One of the groups concerns promoting the 8th Principle and getting it passed in our…

Back with the UUs…probably?
So I went to church today. No, my faith didn’t change, but my interpretation of it did somewhat.
Longtime readers of this blog – all three of you 🙂 – will remember that I left the Unitarian Universalist Church in Tallahassee because they seemed overfond of the word “blessed” for my taste. I wasn’t convinced that my faith, Kemeticism, really involved that particular word. It sounded too Christian…

One of, if not the, hero of the clergy sexual abuse scandal passed away Sunday, November 28. Today we remember Phil Saviano. Phil Saviano in 2002. Copyright Steven Senne. Phil Saviano was just 11 when a priest began abusing him. As an adult, he would go on to collect records about his own case and others, compiling evidence which he would eventually bring to the Boston Globe’s Spotlight…

Be well, Matt Dillahunty
A screenshot from an old video that has little relevance except that Matt’s the guy I’m posting about tonight. At the beginning of tonight’s Atheist Experience, Matt Dillahunty announced that this would be his last show. “Well,” I thought, “if I’m going to call in, it’s now or never.” You see, in an earlier video, I had heard Matt say that he had never had a believer tell him, “Yes, I believe,…

Reflections on the Unyear and Wep Ronpet 2022
It’s definitely been an Unyear. An image of clay pots. Source: unknown. This Unyear has been a little weird, but I guess a lot of them have for me. On July 20, I found out that I had been exposed to COVID so I got tested. Well, the COVID part of the test wasn’t actually run so I had to get retested, and eventually the results came back negative. I was also negative for RSV and both flu A and B,…

If I could help, I would. Instead I am reblogging. Please consider helping. Thanks.
My name is Ina and I have a little cat who's name is Liz. She was a stray cat I found on the street. I was so sorry for the poor little one because she was so small and definitely abused.
At first she was extremely shy and afraid but despite everything she kept following me. So I just had to take her with me. I had to bring her to the veterinary to check her. They told me she was in a bad condition. For example her ribs were in a bad condition (seems like people kicked her....), she missed two teeths, her kidneys don't work normal and seems like she doesn't hear very good (they kept pulling things out of her ears like dirt or sth like it, it wasn't recognizable).
I got her vaccinated and treated but she still has a lot of problems. The good thing is that I found a good vet who is willing to help her but despite everything she has to undergo surgery. He offered to let me pay less than normal but it will still cost 800€. For me that's still too much (normally it would cost over 2000€).
if you are wondering I go to work but I don't earn enough to collect money for her. It is enough for me and her for everyday living but that's it. Also I had a rough past too. My parents were both alcoholics and did drugs. They abused me, beat me up daily sometimes, yelled at me, told me how worthless I am and much more. But here I am now, alone without family, no friends but I have my little Liz. Believe me at the moment I do everything for her. I don't care about my situation, her life is more important. Also I am allergic to cats, I'm sneezing the whole day but like I said, she is more important than everything.
So I here I am, begging other people for donations for her cause I'm too desperate to think of anything elese. I'd be more then grateful if there are people who are willing to help my lovely kittie.
Thanks from the bottom of my heart to everyone!!!!!
Please reblog this post even that would be a massive help.

I’m leading a UU service on Kemeticism. Image via Pixabay. Hi, guys. Sorry I’ve been away – been doing things like having surgery on my driving foot, getting dumped off one of my meds, finding out we have a diabetic cat…It’s been a bit crazy. And because I thought I needed more crazy, I volunteered to lead a UU service on August 6th. Why did I do this? Well, our interim minister is leaving…
