I’ve had religious people knock on my door encouraging me to be religious, but never have I had a homosexual knock on my door to encourage me to be homosexual.
tumblr has a sad-boner for the burning of the library of alexandria
which was not actually one burning but several
and while the Library of Alexandria was an immense historical and national treasure, a lot of ppl tend to forget about the other book and library burnings that occurred in antiquity
Places like the library of Nalanda, in India, which contained an elaborate classification system to hold what was then seen as the largest collection of Buddhist literature
and the House of Wisdom in Baghdad, which contained Greek and Arabic works on mathematics and astronomy to zoology and cartography
and more recently, the Institut für Sexualwissenschaft (no, that does not mean sexual witchcraft) which was burned by the Nazis b/c the majority of tomes dealt with same sex relationships and gay rights and acceptance.
and omg, this makes me so mad. The Libraries of Fisheries and Oceans in Canada has all its collection thrown away in an attempt to save taxpayer money and on the hope that all of its material was digitized. Only 5 to 6% was.
and the Saeh library in Lebanon, which was burnt b/c of terrorism.
Book burnings are happening right now, y'all.
NOOOO. SAVE THE BOOKS. WHY ARE WE LETTING THIS HAPPEN
i want to go on a fucking adventure this summer you know make some memories do some wild things but i’ll probably just lie in bed and eat mcdonald’s and watch netflix but hey it’s fun to pretend i’ll actually do something
It’s ironic that first world feminists and people who hate white people use terms like “educate yourself” despite being so obviously uneducated. They’ve successfully ruined the word educate on tumblr because now it means ‘convert to my cult-like hateful ideology’ instead of ‘give intellectual, moral, and social instruction to someone’.
