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:

# This has been reposted here to Lemmy as part of the "Curated Tumblr Project."

I made the icon using multiple creative commons svg resources, the banner is this.

A retiring teacher at our school had his class read a story that lit a fire under a bunch of parents. It was The Star by Arthur C. Clarke

Direct link since the closing parenthesis breaks the formatting: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Star_(Clarke_short_story)

The original link works fine for me, are you looking at it using actual lemmy, or an app?

[–] IzzyScissor@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Using Sync for mobile, it omits the closing parenthesis, but on web it works fine.

Sounds like the problem is with the app.

It is. Same happens to me often (also with sync). It's slightly annoying.

Strange if its broken for some it works okay when I click on it.
