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:

"Xitter". It pronounces almost like "Shitter".
No almost about it. It's Shitter and that's final.
This is the way.
"X" letter is pronounced as "shh" sound in China for example Liu Cixin, the Chinese author of Three Body Problem, his last name supposed to be spelled "Cishin". So there is precedent.
I call it excrement.
That's a shit poem.
Where's the excrement ode!?
I also use this but I recently spelled it "Xhitter" and I think that might sell the pronunciation even better.
