Welcome to /c/Tumblr

All the chaos of Tumblr, without actually going to Tumblr.

Rule 1: Be Civil, Not CursedThis 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 PostsSome 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.

When I was a small child I realized that I couldn't pick out the lyrics in songs the way my peers did. 50-years later, never got better. Lyrics often pass me by entirely.

Sometimes I suddenly notice what is being "said" in some part of a song after 20 years of listening to it. It does not make the song better, usually even worse.

Yeah, me too... but it sure is fun reading the lyrics of songs I loved back in the day and realising there's a lot more to them than I assumed back then.
