Btw, if you’re new to tumblr, or even if you’re not new to tumblr but don’t know, if there’s any little features that annoy you or QOL things you want, chances are you should download Xkit to more fine-tune customize your experience. Not sure if this is still common knowledge as it used to be, but it’s a great help.
For the unfamiliar: there are three extensions called XKit, for historical reasons. The one you want is called “XKit Rewritten”. It is a browser extended which can do many things to improve your Tumblr experience. One of my favourites is called “panorama”, which simply makes your dash actually use whatever horizontal space you give it, rather than occupying no more than the middle third of your screen and filling the rest with empty space for no good reason.
Since it is a browser extension, XKit is only useful for the browser version of the site, but it improves things so much that you may find you never want to use Tumblr Mobile ever again.
To add onto this even more, I actually use a combination of both “Newxkit” (which no longer updates, but still has some features I find too good to do without, like mouseover reblogs and other QOL tweaks) and “Xkit Rewritten”, which is a browser extension that allows you to, as said above, disable tumblr live.
For reference on how great xkit is though, I didn’t even know tumblr had changed its layout to try and look like The Devil’s Web because it’s like this
Xkit Rewritten now has mouseover reblogs as well! I swapped to Rewritten from New Xkit a little while ago when I got a new computer, and I don’t know if it matches up to EVERY feature, but it had a version of all the settings I had been using. Recommend!
Oh shit, does it!? Maybe I need to update my extension, but that’s great!
It’s the best QOL feature outside of Fix-it features imo! Thanks for letting me know, I’ll see if I just need to update it to get it to show up for me.
When someone tags wereralph in your post its like stepping on a twig in the bara werewolf forest. he might reblog it causing the whole pack (lots of notes from a bunch of furries) to come a sniffin
I think sometimes people forget that the gov is the corporations’ bitch, not the other way round.
I really hate this shitty ‘doom-and-gloom/everyone’s corrupt/there will never justice’ mindset.
According to L.A. City Controller Kenneth Mejia, they fined Universal as much as they possibly could as permitted by law, but “outdated laws limit fine amounts and aren’t equitable across offenders, especially big corporations.” [X]
The problem is how the laws are written, which can be amended.
This isn’t the fault of some deep corruption in the LA government that had them taking money under the table to avoid fining Universal or something.
additionally! it kept the strikes in the public conscious! in a way that was favorable to the strikers, even! a way to keep people angry and morale higher without anyone dying! obviously the fine was disappointingly small but it isnt like $250 is the only consequence
getting one of my friends to housesit and hes like Aw man dude don’t worry just enjoy your vacation and the moment I close the door to get in my taxi he tweets “i love smoking cigarettes indoors”
