Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.

Our Rules:

  1. Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

  2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

  3. Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

  4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

  5. 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.

It's a bit like the time when my 12th grade English teacher had us read Death of the Ball Turret Gunnner while she went to the teacher's lounge for a smoke.

Being an aviation nerd I already knew what it was about, so when she came back and asked us what we thought I raised my hand and explained it. What I didn't know is she was going to quiz us on it afterwards, and I gave away the secret so everybody got an A.

Which is good because I didn't like that English teacher.

So did the teacher get back to them? Was a secret communist club started? They can't just leave the story thread hanging like that.

I'm all for writing conservative horror fiction but you know they can't read it, right?
