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:

Blood Music absolutely terrified me as a freshman in high school

I'm jealous you got to read Blood Music in high school. Though Chrysalids was also great and turned me into a long time sci-fi fan. Despite the horribly hypocritical ending.

My Biology teacher actually made us read that one. Big sci fi nerd, that guy. I haven't read Chrysalids, I'll have to check it out

It mostly holds up. The ending though... It's a product of its time.
