Welcome to /c/Tumblr
All the chaos of Tumblr, without actually going to Tumblr.
Rule 1: Be Civil, Not Cursed
This isn’t your personal call-out post.
- No harassment, dogpiling, or brigading
- No bigotry (transphobia, racism, sexism, etc.)
- Keep it fun and weird, not mean-spirited
Rule 2: No Forbidden Posts
Some things belong in the drafts forever. That means:
- No spam or scams
- No porn or sexually explicit content
- No illegal content (don’t make this a federal case)
- NSFW screenshots must be properly tagged
If you see a post that breaks the rules, report it so the mods can handle it. Otherwise just reblog and relax.

My parents were old time hunters and trappers who were born in the wilderness ... so they weren't up to date with the latest pediatric recommendations at the time.
I’m sorry what? There’s a lot to unpack here
I'm indigenous Canadian and I'm the first generation in my family to be born in a modern hospital. My parents were born and raised in the wilderness and lived a very traditional nomadic life for about the first 30 years of their lives. They had a bit of education and they were very bright people but they had no understanding of many modern things ... things like feeding a baby caffeinated drink. All they understood is that it was nutritious and filling.
And it didn't do me any damage .... I think?
I mean, the fact that you’re on here means you must be damaged a little. But damn that is an amazing backstory
