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:

              yeah, i think most people do a single entry per page, no matter the length. that's not uncommon for a journal
none of these words are particularly complex
the author's age is unknown
i'd rather choose to take people at face value until given a reason otherwise

Not saying it's fake, but point 4 is a good way of spreading misinformation on the internet

You're absolutely correct there. My issue is that I feel like so many of us are almost giving in to the desires of those that spread misinformation, and becoming completely cynical towards anything that's shared online. A healthy amount of skepticism is required. Asking yourself "what does this person gain here if they're lying" and if that answer is "some notes on tumblr" then I'd personally rather choose to believe them. To instead get to have the positive feelings that post provides. Rather than dwell on it and believe that all of humanity are dishonest and disingenuous.

That's just my two cents.
