johnbrianshannon:
I was dismayed to see some Canadian journalists recently declare the end of the ‘Occupy’ movement in Canada and remarking upon the lack of merit for such a thing in the first place. “There’s no need for this sort of thing here!”

Kil Ja Kim: An Open Letter to White Anti-Racists
of-praxis:
disclaimer: this piece is very militant in tone. my point in posting parts is not ‘kill whitey’ or that ‘white people are irredeemable,’ nor is it that white folks cannot be a part of the anti-racist struggle. but the point is to turn the tables on how we always talk about blackness/otherness/etc. there is also a thing called whiteness (different from white people themselves, just as...

gloria-swanson replied to your post: I love how you say when I figure out how to talk to you, we’ll talk, but even after I apologize for something I didn’t even do and try to be the bigger person, you still can’t even acknowledge what I have to say, which is that YOU disrespected ME as well. Have fun on your high horse, and go ahead and post this with some snappy remark so your...

As many users have observed, Tumblr has recently given users a choice to uninstall Missing e or revoke support for your account.
The reasons they give for suggesting that you uninstall Missing e are the worst-case scenario for installing browser extensions or browser modifications of any kind. However, Missing e is not a source of these kinds of problems.
