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:

MODERATORS
A 'mascot' is really not that far off for some. A lot of furries use fursonas as an idealized version of themselves or who they'd like to be. In my probably biased opinion I think it does a lot more for mental health than you might think. Others use them as OCs and play with them like dolls which I guess doesn't really apply here.
Good news, my mental health is about to improve.
Warning there is a whole ass iceberg and not everyone is on the same level.

Pro tip: if you write cross-instance links like !furry_irl@pawb.social instead of full URLs, it opens on your instance instead of the target one meaning you stay logged in. Also it doesn't open a browser if you click it on mobile.
