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.

This kinda reminds me of a book I read as a kid. I cannot remember what it was called, but the main character was also a kid.
Anyway, the setting is that the main character thinks their family is really weird, for a number of odd-but-wholesome reasons, the most prominent of which was the nightly "screaming sessions". According to the main character, they would all get together at a certain time during the evening and just scream to relieve frustration and whatnot.
Not sure where I was going with this, but it always stuck with me how the parents just wanted the best for their kids.
If anyone recognizes this book that I'm having a really hard time remembering the name of, let me know...
Are you sure it's a book? Apparently it's a tradition in Uppsala, a student city in Sweden. A few videos made the rounds ten years ago or so.
Edit: added link. English Wikipedia doesn't put as much emphasis on Uppsala as other sources.
Might be a tradition, which sounds fun, but I absolutely read it in a book as a kid as well.
