-
Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.
-
No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.
-
Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.
-
Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.
-
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.

MODERATORS
Can’t confirm for everyone, but can confirm that 7th grade is when my school district explored ancient history.
I still remember being told the story of the origin of Phoenician purple (pigment/dye.) Something about a dog biting a snail on a beach and its mouth turning purple/blue. I think it stuck in my memory because my first thought was that the snail poisoned the dog, and I was shocked at how casually the teacher told such a sad story. But the teacher continued on to say it was just a pigment covering his face, and I was relieved.
