Hello Tumblr users! Ever wanted to have an instant messenger feature directly in your Tumblr dashboard? Well you can. And it’s super easy. You might remember the buzz about an extension called Babblr, but forget that, because it doesn’t work. However, XIM, which is a part of the new XKit 7, does work. If you don’t know what XKit is, it’s basically a working version of Missing E, and if you don’t know what that is, it’s basically a suite of extensions and improvements for Tumblr. And I’m going to show you all how to install it. (Chrome only for now). 

  1. If you have XKit 6 or XKit Next installed, go ahead and disable them. If you don’t like Xkit 7, you can always go back to them later.
  2. Visit the Chrome webstore page for XKit 7 and add it to Chrome.
  3. Return to Tumblr, refresh the page, then click on the button that appears between your settings and logout button. This brings up your XKit settings.
  4. Click on the “Get Extensions” tab at the bottom, then install any of the extensions you want, including XIM.
  5. Go to the “My XKit” tab and configure the extensions to you liking.

And that’s it! You should have XIM open in your sidebar of your dashboard. From there you can add any tumblr user to your buddy list and IM them (note that they won’t get your message unless they themselves have XIM).

Enjoy!

gonna try this.

I just installed this five minutes ago and so far I like it. I had to disable Missing E, but many of its features had stopped working for me anyway so.

Right now I’ve got Reblog Yourself, Reblog as Text, and Blacklist (essentially Savior except it searches both tags and text) activated, plus many “tweaks” like wrapped tags, narrower reblog bars, hide Tumblr Radar, etc.

you know i would have way more fun with the free-wheeling moffat haterthon if it didn’t involve a whole lot of pretending like RTD was totally great with agency for his female characters

it’s possible to hate moffat’s writing without giving RTD a free pass for his shit

Links found in the original post:

  • Here is a good post by a bisexual person on pansexual people misdefining bisexuality.”
  • Here is a good post by a pansexual on problematic definitions of pansexuality.”
  • This and this are prime examples [of pansexual people claiming themselves as the breakers of the gender binary].”
  • “See my previous posts on nonbinary people in nonmonosexual communities here, here, and here.”

THIS IS AMAZING.  YES.  THIS.

wow this expresses so many things that I could never quite process

What about pansexual people who don’t hate on bi people or mis-define bisexuality? What about pan people who aren’t ignorant towards trans* identities? What about pansexual people who have trans* identities? Why does every other post I see on pansexuality have these broad generalizations about what pansexual people say and think? 

Congratulations on the most roundabout version of “we’re not all like that” I’ve ever seen.

Nowhere did I say “all pan people.” I used cis and binary identity qualifiers where relevant. And by the way, binary trans*people perpetuate a lot of binarism and nonbinary erasure.

So what about all those pan people who “aren’t like that” that I didn’t talk about? What do you want, a pat on the back? A fruit basket with a card saying “congratulations on not personally being one of the people who misrepresent, appropriate, and generally shit on my identity”? I don’t owe you a fucking mention, not one.

OMG!

Okay both the original post and the later comment are pure gold.

The more I see people who identify as “genderqueer” bag on trans people, the more I think “genderqueer” is an excuse for cissexuals to appropriate transness so they can feel trendy and rebellious while boldly upholding the status quo.

I’ve gotten that feeling more and more often lately, and I do not like it.

Kitten Cries Foul in Xbox Gaming Tournament
A kitten named Suzie has filed a formal complaint with officials at the Halo 4 World Championship Tournament after a scuffle with another player.
“She claims a competitor pulled the controller from her paws while she was playing,” says Robert Seneca, who has taken up the inquiry. “It was right as she was about to make an epic kill, too. We’re looking into it.”
The World Championship brings together the top ranked Halo players for an all-out death match ladder tournament. Reports indicate that Suzie was a favorite to win the top bracket, an honor that comes with $20,000 in prize money and the potential for lucrative endorsement deals.
“You can understand why she’d be so upset over sabotage like this,” says Seneca.

Women’s clothing

I am bending over a table, folding tshirts, when suddenly someone grabs my ponytail.

I try to turn around to see the problem, but hear a voice saying “hold still, just hold still a moment.”

My hair is very long, and I’m thinking at this point that I am caught on something, so I stand very still, while I feel a yank at my ponytail.  Finally, I seem to be free.

I turn, look behind me, and find a very smug looking woman holding a large portion of my hair—cut off!

“I wanted to show my stylist this color, it’s so lovely!”

Security answered as I started screaming and freaking out at the woman, and she ended up coming on assault charges.  

Her excuse, “She’s just a worker, she should be flattered!” didn’t go over very well.  Additionally, the police were not amused by her begging to have my hair back!

I ended up needing a short, above shoulder length cut to cover up the damage, losing about 10 inches of hair, which I donated.  The store was nice enough to cover the cost of the hairdo.

this is horrific.

My blood pressure went up just reading that story. Someone would have died if that shit happened to me, I swear to god.

bitch woulda been mauled

How the fuck do people like this get to EXIST in the world? What planet do you have to be raised on to think this is ok?

Happy launch day to Seanan McGuire’s new Amazon Kindle Serial, Indexing!
***
“Never underestimate the power of a good story.”
Good advice…especially when a story can kill you.
For most people, the story of their lives is just that: the accumulation of time, encounters, and actions into a cohesive whole. But for an unfortunate few, that day-to-day existence is affected—perhaps infected is a better word—by memetic incursion: where narratives the rest of the world considers fairy tales become reality, often with disastrous results.
A motley team struggling with their own unfolding narratives, they are tasked with identifying potential outbreaks using the Aarne-Thompson Index and making sure the story doesn’t reach “ever after”… because if it does, someone is usually dead, broken—or worse. When you’re dealing with fairy tales in the real world, it doesn’t matter if you’re Cinderella, Snow White, or the Wicked Queen: no one gets a happy ending.
Indexing is bestselling author Seanan McGuire’s new urban fantasy where everything you thought you knew about fairy tales gets turned on its head.
***
(Or as I like to describe it, Indexing is Grimm and Once Upon a Time crossed with Criminal Minds.)  Go here to buy it now!

Different Sherlock portrayals as cats. Because I can.

House is the uncontrollable crazy cat.

Robert Downey Jr. cat is the flaunting type.

BBC Sherlock is the brooding cat.

Elementary Sherlock is the cuddly one.

Canon Sherlock is an awesome YouTube keyboard cat that Watson is always impressed by.
