Welcome to /c/Tumblr

All the chaos of Tumblr, without actually going to Tumblr.

Rule 1: Be Civil, Not CursedThis isn’t your personal call-out post.

  • No harassment, dogpiling, or brigading
  • No bigotry (transphobia, racism, sexism, etc.)
  • Keep it fun and weird, not mean-spirited

Rule 2: No Forbidden PostsSome things belong in the drafts forever. That means:

  • No spam or scams
  • No porn or sexually explicit content
  • No illegal content (don’t make this a federal case)
  • NSFW screenshots must be properly tagged

If you see a post that breaks the rules, report it so the mods can handle it. Otherwise just reblog and relax.

Yeah, I get that. Learning people have blind spots they don't like being called on, regardless of whether they're aware of them, was a hard lesson for me. My instinct is to "help". Most folk know their own brand of bullshit, though, and just want someone to say, "Man...that sucks!", and move on. I have a hard time with that, still.

Same here brother/sister/whathaveyou, same here.

Perhaps ironically, that does somewhat loop around into humor as coping mechanism:

Look at em go!

Ain't gonna end well, but, look at 'em go!

Like uh, watching a car crash, that you're pretty sure is gonna happen.

Kinda macabre or dark, but, well, c'est la vie.
