Bear With Me

I am a tired, old, married, progressive, gay, atheist (with Buddhist influences), bear, sci-fi-lovin' geek who works at a library. This tumblr reflects my geeky, progressive, godless, bookish, gay-bear nerdiness . And watches -- i love watches.....and spaceships- I collect spaceships

The Creator Trolley Problem You are an omnicient, omnipotent creator of the universe. You create some people, place them on a track and make a trolley hurtle towards them. You promise to save them if they accept that you're the creator of this situation. Are you evil?

Not just "accept that you're the creator of this situation," but actually praise you for creating it.

Yes, you're evil. Not just inadvertently or incidentally evil, but purposefully and malevolently evil.

Since I've seen a number of people shocked about the Palestinian kids kept in Israeli prisons, here's more. I suggest you read about it more and spread the truth.

Ahmad manasra was arrested in 2015, after he was run over by Israeli soldiers and his cousin who was walking with him killed. He has been kept in solitary confinement since November 2021. He started showing signs of mental disorders as well as schizophrenia due to the torture he endured by the IOF. Read about our children who are getting tortured and abused in Israeli military prisons. They are not criminals, freedom to all of them.

Soldiers versus children, yet the world sides with soldiers! This is pre-OCT 7th! A western backed, democratically elected government with one - if not THE strongest army in the world! I am a mother my heart skips beats when I look at their faces. These could be my children or your children. These are our children! Enough! This occupation must end now! This madness must end now!

The consistent dehumanization language used in describing Palestinians in western media is unfathomable. The consistent denial of seeing our children as children. For everybody seeing this, don't fall into this, seek out the truth and educate yourself because that's the best and only way we can help people in Palestine. We have to amplify their voices.

Saw on the local news the other day how Salvation Army was struggling for donations during the pandemic and all I said was “Good.”

[a-place-to-be-panace]

Reminder this upcoming holiday season to not give any money to the Salvation Army, but don’t harass the collectors because they’re often people who are desperate, receiving help from SA, and their next meal/place to sleep depends on them ringing the damn bells and asking for donations.
