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:
-
/c/TenForward@lemmy.world - Star Trek chat, memes and shitposts

I'd never been so fucking scared. Finest woman I had ever dated, looked like she was going to dump me. Finest job I had ever had, looked like I was going to be laid off. Lost the girl a month later, kept the job for a few more years. Fuck me was I sweating, most literally.
Oh, and there was the whole "everyone dying, Spanish Flu in my lifetime" thing. And the social isolation and 1,000 other weird things that stemmed from that.
Know what? That may have been the most stressful month in my 50-years (at the time).
