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.

To be fair, I doubt the Space Shuttle could have sustained astronauts in orbit for 286 days in any case, for reasons entirely unrelated to tampons. At least not without docking to the ISS, anyway, which STS-7 didn't do (in part because it didn't exist yet).
There's an idea.
Maybe they actually gave her a reasonable amount of tampons for the maximum amount of time she could expect to survive in a disaster.
