Welcome to /c/Tumblr
All the chaos of Tumblr, without actually going to Tumblr.
Rule 1: Be Civil, Not Cursed
This 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 Posts
Some 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.

I was in my senior year of high school when 9/11 happened. The only part that truly stuck with me was watching people I once respected turn into reactionary asswipes who where equal parts sanctimonious and cornball. Getting scolded about how I don't appreciate "my freedoms" by an imbecile in Confederate flag board shorts and a "These colors don't run" t shirt was one the highlights of my 20s.
It was also the first time I ever saw a national tragedy kickstart a merchandising bonanza. Crying eagle NEVER FORGET t-shirts, country singers climbing over each other to release the most sacchrine slow jam possible, and a whole lot of bizzarept homoerotic proto-memes of bin Laden.
