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:

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
The underlying issue is that Medium enshittified basically overnight, as soon as it had inertia. Went from 'text is cheap, put your stuff here!' to 'how dare anyone expect our servers to work for free, here's a gigantic fat image instead of the kilobyte of content.'
This was a while ago.
Good thing I've been avoiding medium since its inception. At the start, it was edgy "influencer" types who didn't want to pay for hosting, and now it's edgy "influencer" types who obsess over copyright.
My guy is out here on a free forum about a free blog taking swings at people who write on the internet.
Nah, I have no problem with people writing stuff on the internet. I just find Medium in particular to be subpar.
Thank you dear person! You truly are a godsend!
Just want to express my thanks, saved me some time! :)
