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

Strong grammar skills isn't the same as comprehending, though. Being able to write, being able to write well--is also not the same as comprehending what someone else has written. Let alone what someone means by what they've written.
"thatguyfromthatwebsite" seems to have read and interpreted the language properties of the greentext, but was not able to comprehend it, not able to take one single step beyond the text to what the author intends it to mean.
Most of the posts that come across my feed there are lengthy analysis of writing that show they understand it and also have critical thinking skills; which is why I say that.
I'm sure that your observation is true, you've probably self-selected critical thinking people and not a random sample.
Maybe. I don't know how their algorithms work. I only follow 2 people: Puchiko and P.M. Seymour and I hardly actually see them on Tumblr itself 🤷🏻♂️
