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:

Here's the comic on the left (titled "Loss") and its shorthand on the right that people sneak into everything to reference it.

The webcomic (called "CTRL-ALT-DEL") was mostly comedy, but then pivoted out of the blue with this dark, dramatic, wordless strip. The whiplash in tone led to a lot of jokes and people trying to meme it and slip references to it into everything.

Oh wow, I used to read this comic like 15 years ago.
