Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.

Our Rules:

  1. Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

  2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

  3. Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

  4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

  5. No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

Education isn't the problem. Bad actors with malicious intent are.

Back in the 90s, we used to say, "If people were more educated then..." and saw the internet as a way to deliver that education. Look how that turned out.

We used to have great quantities of much higher quality information available at our fingertips at every city library. The problem was never lack of access to information.
