tip for remembering pronouns on tumblr

theroguefeminist:

someone else said this a long while back i think, but you can use xkit’s profiler “renaming” / “nickname” feature to label users with their pronouns. this will make it so their pronouns will appear right next to their name on their posts on your dash

image

i did this a long time ago with most of the blogs i follow when i used firefox, but when i moved to chrome i lost all my settings. today i remembered to redo the pronouns again so as not to forget.
