TumblrMSG: Stopgap?
I’ve heard from a couple of sources that Tumblr is working on new feedback features (read this). Whether or not TumblrMSG will be necessary later on is unknown, but there’s still a gap that exists now.

athinkinganimal-deactivated2012 asked: Are you using TumblrMSG? Why does it appear to be so intrusive (grant access to the app, install the extension, have a draft sitting in your account...)? I haven't yet signed up, I'm waiting to see how development progresses.

Get everyone involved
tumblrmsg:
Don’t worry. TumblrMSG development hasn’t stopped, it has just stalled for a moment as I have moved house and don’t have any internet to send live all the great features that are planned.
Please spread the word, the more people that are using TumblrMSG, the more useful TumblrMSG is.
Current Features
Unlimited messages. No character limits, no messages/hr limits.

Oh, and before anyone mutters about precision
The word imprecise does not mean inaccurate.
Imprecise means to lack exactness and accuracy of expression or detail.

missmariejay:
Sometimes it bothers me how people use the word “depressed” so much. Its so mainstream now, everyone says it! Really? You are depressed? No you aren’t!!! You are dressed with make up on and still eating. I realize you are going through a hard time with your break up but you,my dear,are just sad. Because the word “sad” is not used enough. “depression” is an illness! “sad” is am...

Two of my three personal scientific heroes...
died while still being shunned by the scientific communities and nations to which they contributed so much.
One, a penniless “mad scientist” in a NYC hotel. The other, a suicide of a broken man, chemically castrated as a sentence for the crime of homosexuality.
The accomplishments of both men continue to far outweigh those of their accusers.

ADD Chores

The future is not bright for 'Missing e'
Just as I was beginning to feel better after a day of turbulent worries….
missing-e:
Moments ago, I participated in surprise conference call with Tumblr staff members. They have indicated to me that they continue to take issue with Missing e even with the removal of usage of the Tumblr API.
They interpret the Tumblr API License Agreement in such a way as it continues to apply to...
It feels really weird.
I think I’m depressed about my job. It’s hard to be sure because everything else in my life is going pretty swimmingly.
I walk to the bus from the building with my head down half the time. I’m laconic for the first hour or two after I get home (for those who know, I am far from a quiet person).
Yet, I am able to go to work every morning feeling upbeat… to some degree.

I'm in a mood not suitable for the workplace
There isn’t much I can do about it.
Everything is getting to me this morning.
The strange temperature gradient in my cubicle.
A photo on my desk of my wife in a dress.
Jotting down a note with this gel grip pen.
If one of you writes a long post with a plethora of correctly-used commas and a smattering of alluring alliteration, I may need to go splash some cold water on my face.
