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:
-
/c/TenForward@lemmy.world - Star Trek chat, memes and shitposts

Ha. My Spanish is the opposite, I can name everything around me but can't talk. Was in a sub shop in Miami once and the sandwich maker didn't speak English, I didn't even KNOW I knew the words for all those foods but quickly rattled off Mayonesa, Queso, Lechuga, Cebolla, Acetunas, Pimientos - everything I looked at I thought the Spanish word not the English word, it was all there in my head, what the fuck? But try to say I did something, instead of im doing something or going to do something? Total blank, I have to really think on it like it's a puzzle.
