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/[email protected] - Star Trek chat, memes and shitposts

When I was a little kid my parents had to sit me down and teach me the "non verbal cues" for when someone wants out of a conversation: no eye contact, weak or no confirmation ("oh yeah?" "And then what?" vs "uh huh"), and flat body language. It was sorely needed information at the time, and to this day I still occasionally run through a checklist if I catch myself getting too fired up about something or other.
