“Sound of the Beep” Lives again

https://soundofthebeep.tumblr.com and the related sites are all back online again.

I had a server issue the other day and took everything offline, and didn’t put SOTB back on until some folks mentioned that they were missing it.

This past weekend saw another shooting, in another synagogue, only six months after the murders at the Tree of Life Synagogue in Pittsburgh.

Is this thing still on? Does anyone still read stuff here?

Anyway, I wrote a thing about how (white) comfortable Christians need to speak up in the face of hateful and dehumanizing speech.

(The section of the paper is called “In My Opinion”.)

FYI this was The Boy waiting to take his Driver's License exam earlier today.

He passed.

For those of you following along since he was wearing teddy bear headphones at the earliest CHSHes, I just thought you'd want to mark this occasion.

Sermon: “Why Jeff Sessions is Wrong.”

My sermon from this past Sunday.

It’s long, but hopefully worth your time.

[tj]

The amount of time it must have taken to get all of this just right is amazing.

did you forget the part where… he didn’t fuck her because immaculate conception

Also, I don’t remember ages of the parents being explicitly mentioned in the Bible. TJ? Any wise words here?

[tj]

It’s not mentioned in the Bible, but Mary is generally believed to have been a teenager and Joseph older.

That really has nothing to do with a creepy guy in his 30s kissing a 14 year old girl but it apparently sounded good to this one pervert who gave the quote.

It’s pretty disgusting and a gross misuse of the Bible.

But that’s the GOP today. They’ll accept anything as long as they can stay in power.

[tj]

I guess I’ve been in a particular mood lately.

[schmidlap]

I’m so sorry. I wish I knew what to do or say beyond that.

Men ruin everything.

[tj]

Seconded.

Dear men: do better. Be better.

Wow. I’ve been off Tumblr for a while and I gotta say

This non-chronological feed is GARBAGE.

[tj]

This is the first post Tumblr showed me when I logged in today.

I had seen it several days ago and hearted it already.

But thanks for the reminder, Tumblr.

Reblog if you refuse to reblog any of the "Reblog if you..." posts

Do you not see that whatever goes into the mouth enters the stomach, and goes out into the sewer? But what comes out of the mouth proceeds from the heart, and this is what defiles. For out of the heart come evil intentions, murder, adultery, fornication, theft, false witness, slander.

When I read that passage today in church I added "white supremacy" to the end of the list.

Shaun Evans and Roger Allam return as the iconic mystery-solving duo when Endeavour continues with Season 4, premiering Sunday, August 20, 2017 at 9:00 p.m. on your local PBS station.

Dear Tumblr Staff

Yes, I know it was in my orbit as you might notice that I already hearted it, so maybe your stupid non-chronological algorithm could not show it to me again?!

Good god you people are so freakin inept it's not even funny.

Mom had surgery last week and some complications. She's doing better now but we decided to come spend a few days because it's my mom that's why.
