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:

/c/TenForward@lemmy.world - Star Trek chat, memes and shitposts

Anyone else for Arkhipov day?
Just how many times did a Soviet officer refuse to start nuclear war, that's #2 in this thread!
We owe some big debts to some random dude going "No I don't think I will press the button that ends the world".
Sure. Who or what is Arkhipov?
A guy who refused to end the world.

Ah right that guy. Thank you Vasiliy Arkhipov! o7
