Not sure where best to ask this, but should I deinstall New XKit and only use XKit Rewritten? Or do they need to be used together in order to work?

You can use any combination of the two that fits you. XKit Rewritten is a completely separate extension which does not make any features in New XKit magically work again, nor does it rely on New XKit to work itself. The two do not conflict, either.

If you have reasons to keep New XKit installed, keep it installed. Tumblr isn't done updating the web experience, so features that only run on legacy-powered pages like Mass+ and Go-to-Dash remain exclusive to New XKit for now.

hello, i'm looking for some advice. i've been struggling to get over a previous fp (we were very close friends for 6 years and they were my fp the entire time) and was wondering if you guys would have any tips on how to cope. i'm sorry if this is a little vague, i don't feel very up to talking about my past with them

Hi anon,

This sounds really hard, and I am sorry. Losing a FP can be so beyond words.

Some things I like to remind myself are:

The feelings are temporary. They will pass. No matter how crushing they may be, you won't feel like this forever. Sometimes it can help to remember that what we're feeling is temporary because when we forget that and think it's how we're going to feel forever, it can make us feel so hopeless. So here's your reminder. This isn't forever,.

You survived without them before, and you can do it again. I promise. It doesn't mean it'll be easy but it can help to have the reminder that we existed before then, and survived before them and we can do both of those things again.

Be kind to yourself. You are valid and you are allowed your emotions.

Healing is not linear. Grief isn't linear. And for a lot of us, when we lose our FP, it is something we need to heal from. It is something we grieve about. And it's okay if we feel ourselves doing better for a bit and then falling back. It doesn't mean you've failed or anything like that.

Some things I do:

Note that these are all personal things I do and aren't rules for how you should cope. I'm sure your own list will differ!

Focus on myself. Even when it's uncomfortable and I don't want to, I focus on my hobbies. I focus on finding new hobbies. Sometimes I make a list of different hobbies I've never tried, and then I go through it and try them at least once to see if I enjoy something. If not, it gets scratched off. These could be new shows, books, activities, etc.

Feel the emotions. Usually not all at once because it's too much, but my instinct is to bury the emotions. To turn my emotions off entirely ((I'm sure others relate to the turning them off thing. It's like a switch I can use). And it's uncomfortable, but sometimes I force myself to feel them. In bits as I can handle it. Allow yourself time to grieve.

Focus on my DBT skills like Urge Surfing for any urges that arise or Radical Acceptance for accepting my feelings.

Come up with a Crisis Plan in case I start to spiral.

I diversified my relationships. I think this is an important thing to do. Even if you have a FP currently. Diversifying your relationships to have other people in your support system can be really good.

This is a personal choice, but I cut off all ties. I kept screenshots of messages they wrote assuring me they cared and stuff like that. I deleted all screenshots. I also made sure I couldn't look at their profiles and check on them. I made sure their numbers were deleted and anything else.

I like to do nice things for someone else. It's hard sometimes to get there, but there's a feeling I get when I make someone smile or help someone out that makes me feel a bit lighter. It reminds me that I am valuable as I am. This is actually a part of the ACCEPTS skill if you're interested in reading more about that.

Work on forgiving myself. Maybe you don't feel you need this, and that's valid. But I did. I had to learn to forgive myself for not knowing better, for making mistakes, and I always remind myself that I am human. In connection with this, I work on letting go of any regrets I have. It's easier said than done, I know. It's important for me to remember that I can't change the past, so dwelling on any regrets doesn't help me. What I can do is learn from them and do better.

I know it's hard, anon. But it really does get better. I have lost FP's and thought the entire world was ending and that I would never recover. I still think about them sometimes, but it's such a dull ache that I barely notice it. It might always hurt a little, but it will be manageable.

Here are some other coping ideas for you.

You can do this anon,

April

Please try to remember that there’s no rule book for healing from trauma. There’s no ten step program. There’s no time line. Healing is different for everyone and is a personal experience that’s unique to you. Please be patient with yourself.

Are you guys aware of "Rewritten Xkit"? It looks like someone just took all of the work you guys have done to update for the new dashboard and re-released it as their own extension.

XKit Rewritten is a project by me. As I updated more extensions for the new dashboard, it became obvious that the XKit 7 framework is very poorly equipped to handle it, and juggling what legacy code should be left in vs what legacy code should be scrapped pushed me to just start over with a new framework.

New XKit and the new Tumblr dashboard

Hi everyone! Some of you may be aware that Tumblr has been offering a beta of the new web interface for a little while now. This new web experience comes with some nice perks, such as color palettes, soft refreshing, a built-in tag viewer, and a better user blocking system. It’s also built from the ground up with accessibility standards in mind, and designed to be fully compatible with screen readers.

Unfortunately, such long-needed improvements have come at a price for those that truly rely on XKit features—the new web interface is entirely new, written from the ground up, and thus, XKit doesn’t work on it.

Recently, we’ve become aware that some people have been forcibly opted into this beta with no option to exit it, and this lines up with the projection that this new web interface will be fully launched by April 2020. However, the New XKit project is entirely staffed by volunteers, and we do not expect to have enough bandwidth to be able to fully update XKit for this new dashboard before its full launch.

Update (2020-03-24): Tumblr has introduced an opt-out toggle in the Dashboard Settings for XKit users, which will give us a little more time until the full switch-over.

“Oh no! Tumblr’s trying to kill XKit!”

You would be amazed at what’s actually happening. A few Tumblr engineers are working with us and are building things into the new dashboard specifically to make our jobs easier! So please, rest assured that XKit being broken currently is not part of some grand scheme to make the Tumblr dashboard unmodifiable - we just need more time to catch up, and we’re being helped along.

“But I can’t use Tumblr without XKit!”

This is a problem we see echoed a lot. While we will be updating XKit to work on the new dashboard, we don’t know yet how long it will take us. We’re prioritizing features based on the suggestions you all give, so it’s extremely helpful when you let both us and Tumblr know which parts of XKit are absolutely essential to your day-to-day Tumblr usage. In the meantime, we ask that you try out the new dashboard, with all its new features, and give clear, constructive, and respectful feedback to both us and Tumblr support.

Tumblr has already implemented some equivalents of existing XKit features, and we’re already expecting more to appear down the line. As Tumblr gains a better understanding of why and how people use XKit, we expect to see that list grow.

This is not the end for XKit - merely a stage of metamorphosis. Thank you all for your patience!
