Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.
Our Rules:
-
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.
Sister Communities:

It's a dystopia
It will be perfect for some, those sheeple
..............................
But actually if anyone has any sort of short story, novel, whatever that is on that theme of a utopia that is actually a dystopia ... like brave new world, 1984, the gift, enders game, handmaid's tale, . The illusion of a perfectly functioning society and exploring the flaws through someone who sees differently, in some way... I'd love to hear it! If it is even marginally related to that, if it provokes thought or whatever please send me a DM (idc if you stumble on this months/years from now this is something I welcome always)
The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas by Ursula K. Le Guin fits that profile.
Thank you! Added it to my holds :)
