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:

People were knew of robots in the 1930s. They were afraid of them killing humans and taking their jobs.

People in the 30s were afraid of anyone who looked slightly different to them because they might kill humans and take their jobs. And then some fucks actually killed humans and took their jobs out of fear said humans might kill humans and take their jobs.
