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.

I've taught in poorer locations in the Midwest. Ton of college students in those sorts of areas are going to get zero assistance from their families. When you look at need-based metrics for scholarships and the like you will have a ton of people whose familys compute to a negative contribution to their education.
Yes, I know. I was one of those students. Though I'm not from the Midwest.
But here on the East coast, people like us are a minority of the college educated population. Only about 33% of the students at my undergraduate were on financial aid. 67% were paying full price and there are a lot of schools that have that ratio.
Yup. And same. I grew up in mining country.
