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.

Last time I went back to Taiwan, I made sure to seek out Engrish shirts at one of those clothing markets. Here are a few I found.

a shirt with a picture of a woman printed on it. The english text on the shirt says "Laundry Room ~loads of fun"

a shirt with "orlifornir" printed on it. its clearly meant to say "california"

a shirt with text on it. the text says "clothing" then a bunch of random letters.

Bonus signage picture

a picture of signage in the window of a cafe that says "bread (new line) is the staff of life". its clearly meant to say "staff" instead
