Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.
Our Rules:
-
Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.
-
No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.
-
Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.
-
Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.
-
No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.
Sister Communities:

Greta Thunberg and how Americans react to her proves why mature children in America are a rarity.
Teenagers are 100% passionate, and they can be morally correct. That was never in question. I have an absolutely tremendous respect for what she has done and stands by. I've also personally seen and worked with kids who have had to "mature" early due to life circumstances or trauma. This doesn't change my trust in children.
