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

-android

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

I made the icon using multiple creative commons svg resources, the banner is this.

Other than Adams's radio scripts, the only other book mentioned on wiki is a book by Terry Jones (of the Pythons) based on a game that was based on the mention of the "Starship Titanic" from Life, the Universe, and Everything. I'd never heard of it before though.

I remember that. I played the game as a kid and, when I found out it was a book years later, was thrilled! After reading it, I was a bit disappointed, but it was fun.

Someone else in this is referenced what I was remembering:

Ah that cover looks vaguely familiar, so I must've seen it referenced at some point. I'll check it out.
