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:

I always thought that was an interesting quirk between American English and British English. The work "holidays" comes from "holy days", which would be specific religious days where you don't have to work. A "vacation" is when you vacate your place of work temporarily.
I shoot heroin when I'm in Mexico so I can have a holiday during my vacation.
