I stand with Palestine, and the rare spaces our public can spend time and educate themselves. Genocide is depressing. Hurting books makes me sad.

    Stonehenge disappears tomorrow, what actual difference does it makes in the life of 99.9999% of Earth’s population?

      I will admit not much as most the value of Stonehenge is knowledge we don’t know yet but here we are getting up in arms over a vandalized public library which 99percent of the time carys 100 percent manufactured books you can go to your local library and destroy their copy of the giving tree and while your community will have to wait to be able to read the giving tree again your public library can always order a new copy of the giving tree and even if somehow every physical copy of the giving tree got destroyed you can go online and find a PDF scan of the giving tree and print it out to make a new copy of the giving tree meanwhile you can think of Stonehenge as a book in a forgotten language that no one can understand yet and before we can figure out what Stonehenge is trying to say someone burns it and while yeah nothing changes in our lives because we didn’t understand it yet but now that ass hole just prevented us all from ever getting the chance to understand and read the tail of Stonehenge I’m not even a millionaire but even I want to know the story but if Stonehenge got destroyed then I’d be depraved of the chance to read my version of the giving tree
