For preserving the least toxic and most culturally relevant Tumblr heritage posts.

Image descriptions and plain text captions of written content are expected of all screenshots. Here are some image text extractors (I looked these up quick and will gladly take FOSS recommendations):

-web

-iOS

-android

Please begin copied raw text posts (lacking a screenshot that makes it apparent it is from Tumblr) with:

The earliest recollection I have about The Game is a friend texting me a chicken with a sign that spelled The Game. I had absolutely no idea what that was supposed to mean so I very eloquently asked him "wtf". "You lost the game", he replied. "What game? Dude, what are you talking about?".

He then explained what the game was and how I had lost it by reading the sign on the chicken, something that I thought, and made sure to tell him, was one of the stupidest things to have come out of the Internet. About an hour later he sent me a screenshot from an old conversation where I originally told him about The Game. I somehow had completely erased it from my memory. I won The Game.
