For preserving the least toxic and most culturally relevant Tumblr heritage posts.

Image descriptions and plain text captions of written content are expected of all screenshots. Here are some image text extractors (I looked these up quick and will gladly take FOSS recommendations):

-web

-iOS

-android

Please begin copied raw text posts (lacking a screenshot that makes it apparent it is from Tumblr) with:

A friend of mine had an abusive stepfather. He mostly beat his wife, until one day he threatened their baby. That night, my friend's mom shotgunned the stepfather in bed.

Would putting him jail forever have been better? Sure. But it wouldn't have happened. He'd have been thrown in the drunk tank overnight and be back at it the next morning. If she'd divorced him, he would have fought for custody.

She solved the problem forever. I can't endorse what she did, but I also won't judge her.

I can endorse what she did. what was she supposed to do, hope the police would solve the problem and not make it worse? they haven't earned that trust.

Yes it's perfectly understandable
Comprehensible, comprehensible
Not a bit reprehensible
It's so defensible
