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.

Huh. We were stuffing 5 minimum wage workers into one house to make rent, which was a little lower than a mortgage was at that time. Early 1990s.
College, though? I did cover that with the Pell Grant. 3k a year. Just the classes - I did have to work to live. Nobody now is able to cover their classes with the Pell Grant now because it's still about 3k.
