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.

Drunk, poisoned by lead and arsenic, high on cocaine and opium, and filled with post (nut?) clarity. Yeah, I'd be dead.
Scheele's green was a pretty popular color to paint the walls back then. Unfortunately, it also contained arsenic ...
The patent medicines were all full of opium , and if that wasn't enough , you could also get ether and pure heroin in any corner drug store.
Everyone is burning coal at home and at work too, so you're inhaling fumes and toxic ash every day of your life. You could be a housewife and still get black lung. Also , if your chimney got blocked you'd die of carbon monoxide poisoning in the night, but luckily you could just pay a child chimney sweep a few pennies to climb up inside the flue and clean it out.
Was that Bernadette Banner? Pretty sure she did that in one of her videos.
It has to be, right?? Also it was a very good video.
