  • Sigh…

    When I was in the 3rd grade, our class had to do reports on countries around the world and we were all assigned a country. I got Egypt. Coincidentally, some friends of my parents had recently gotten back from a trip to Egypt. My parents asked their friends if there was anything I could bring in to use for my presentation. They let me borrow this little statue they got. It was an eagle with a hat, I think it was a depiction of Horus. It was carved out of some really nice white stone, maybe marble or something? I brought it into school, put it on my desk, and waited patiently to stand up and do my report. When I stood up, I bumped my desk, and the statue fell to the ground and broke in half.

    Now monetarily this may not have been the most “expensive” thing, but it was the souvineer that this family brought back from Egypt that they had on their mantle to always remember the trip. It was priceless.

    Why the fuck would you let a 7 year old bring your breakable souvineer to school for a class project?

    Anyway, those people stopped being friends with my parents after that, so I have a feeling it was either expensive or meant a lot.

    This hurts me to think about. Why did you have to ask this question?







  • I feel like any time a bigot feels so strongly about something like this it’s projection. I would bet money this dude has some big skeletons in his closet, and it’s usually only so long before it comes out. Also, people who think that laws are what stop people freak me out. Like… You are afraid that men are going to go into bathrooms and creep on women and the only thing that stops them is laws? I don’t do it because I’m not a fuckin creep. Like this guys is telling me that if there were not laws against it, that’s what he would be doing? That’s what I’m hearing.
