Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.

Our Rules:

  1. Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

  2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

  3. Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

  4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

  5. No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

The Religious Right were behind it all. Who could've guessed? (Aside from -- you know -- everyone who guessed and told you they were behind it all). (lemmy.world)

Things my state has added in the past year, which I am so, so happy about.

  1. Made it a crime for librarians and bookstores to provide minors with materials deemed “harmful” to them. (Temporarily blocked by a judge.)
  2. Made Delta marijuana variants illegal
  3. Adding cameras to interstates to catch drivers speeding in work zones.
  4. Forced sign-ins to porn sites.
  5. Rolled back requirements that the state verify the ages of workers under 16 and provide them with work certificates permitting them to work.

We could have had a governor who has a PhD from MIT, but no. He was blue, and also black. Didn't matter that he was an ordained minister in the Bible belt either.

#3 seems out of place. Yes, it could be abused for other purposes, but do we really hate road-workers and want to see them killed?
