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:

i've already commented this, but just to get my point across properly here, it's these kinds of comments that bother me. They reek of "too occupied with whether we could do it, rather than whether we should do it."

It's a neat trick, but completely fucking ignores the problem. It's like a car shipping from the factory with a bunged transmission but everyone going "well you can just not use first gear" or "well, doing a swap is easy" and my favorite "just re-gear it with third party parts, these ones don't explode" Like, yeah, you could. Nobody would be buying that car though. For some reason tech nerds have a masochistic relationship to this shit and i dont understand why.

I don't use Windows. I remember this from tech support days though.
