I used to love Normal Horoscopes!

Unfortunately, I had to stop reading their blog because I wanted to keep my Tumblr feed as low-stress as possible. This wasn't just a matter of not having Normal Horoscopes in my feed; it also involved remaining in blissful ignorance. For example, if a mutual reblogs something filled with Tumblr-specific dog whistles, I don't want to know about it.

The way I refer to this is "the [profile] captainplanetofficial problem," meaning that sometimes a really solid post will breach containment from an openly neo-Nazi blog. If you know what you're looking at, it can be difficult to think of the mutual who reblogged it in the same way, so I've decided that it's best simply not to know.

This is a shame, because I remember Normal Horoscopes being really interesting to read.
