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:

My kid started watching another talking vehicle show. The garbage trucks name? Stinky. Bulldozer? Dirty. And the Firetruck? Brave. There's a bunch of anthropomorphized propaganda shows out.

this is the medium article linked in the post: The Misogyny and Authoritarianism of ‘Paw Patrol’

That article gets cut off. I could remove it on my computer but I figured the archive would work.

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong though. Whenever I scroll down the page gets reloaded.

Edit: I kept going back and eventually found a snapshot that worked https://web.archive.org/web/20190212082650/https://medium.com/s/story/paw-patrol-is-a-republican-dystopia-f178161fce54

Thank you dear person! You truly are a godsend!

There's this cognitive dissonance that we don't need to police things made for children because no one would be so evil as to manipulate a child, but also we're constantly worrying about random people manipulating our children. Like.... Why don't we turn that scrutiny towards the corporations obviously manipulating our children for their own gain? Why isn't advertising to children banned as a form of brainwashing??

So many contradictions....
