At NSDA Nats, Deano asked: “What does forensics mean to you?”

Speech has been healing. Every program I’ve created was something I needed to hear.

Most people don’t know I grew up with a stutter. Speech gave me the space to grow, to be heard, and to finally own my voice.

We the people means standing up for all of us. This is democracy not tyranny.

Imagine being a queer woman and actually feeling safe at work. Not just tolerated. Not just included. But celebrated. 🌈

Graphic with a cream background and rainbow borders at the top left and bottom right corners. At the top, the word "Pride" is written in a large, playful script font filled with the colors of the Progress Pride flag (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, pink, white, light blue, brown, and black). Around the word are colorful stars and sparkles. Below it, in black and red text: “Pride is FIERCE. Pride is FOREVER.” At the bottom, in large bold blue text: “You Belong. Always.” To the lower left is the Unitarian Universalist Association chalice symbol in Progress Pride flag colors. In the bottom right corner, "UUA.ORG " is written in blue along the curve of the rainbow border.

Never be afraid to write your heart out. To write your ass off. To write until your hands cramp. Because when you look back at the miles of ink behind you you might just have a masterpiece.

The UUA proudly joins a multifaith coalition & the Institute for Constitutional Advocacy & Protection in opposition to the federal government's rescission of ICE’s sensitive locations policy, which violates the 1st Amendment & the Religious Freedom Restoration Act.

A digital graphic features a screenshot from UU World, the magazine of the Unitarian Universalist Association. At the top, the UU World logo appears in blue text. Below it, the headline in bold black font reads: "UUA, Other Religious Groups Sue Trump Administration to Halt Immigration Arrests at Houses of Worship." A subheading in smaller black text states: "The Trump policy allowing raids in houses of worship violates the First Amendment, the lawsuit argues." The byline attributes the article to Elaine McArdle and is dated 2/11/2025. Below the text, there is an illustration with a stylized American flag background. The left side of the flag is blue with white, hand-drawn stars, while the right side features red and white stripes. In the foreground, there is a black and white sketch of a group of people walking in a line, including adults and children, carrying backpacks and holding hands as they move forward. At the bottom of the image, a black rectangular banner with white bold text reads: "Read more at http://bit.ly/uuworld-immigration."

Simple! If I do not participate in the acts of creation I will explode

Creativity is like a houseplant, not an endless well. You need to seek out sunlight, water, and nutrients in art, shows, music, experiences, and more to tend to it. And just like plants it has its dormant and active periods and you may not seem improvement for some time.
