I can't stress enough how much I miss StumbleUpon

[zevveli]

StumbleUpon once sent me to a supercut of Lion King, Lion King 1 1/2, and Lion King II, the main edit being that the scenes of Lion King and Lion King 1 1/2 were interspersed so that they happened in the order they actually happened.

[redpandarascal]

stumbleupon not existing anymore can be directly traced to a dramatic decline in my mental health, I could do a thesis on it.

[musashi]

bestie stumbleupon very much still exists its just called cloudhiker now. i use it all the time.

[lesbiassoon]

mini compilation of suggestions from the replies:

The Bored Button - "Press the Bored Button and be bored no more."

The Useless Web

Cloudhiker - "Discover the most interesting, weird and awesome websites of the Internet" (not really a rebrand, it's a different person running it but they have the same intention in mind)

Astronaut.io - "These videos come from YouTube. They were uploaded in the last week and have titles like DSC 1234 and IMG 4321. They have almost zero previous views. They are unnamed, unedited, and unseen (by anyone but you)."

Marginalia - "This is an independent DIY search engine that focuses on non-commercial content, and attempts to show you sites you perhaps weren't aware of in favor of the sort of sites you probably already knew existed."

Finished my werewolf sketch-dump on Halloween, just getting around to posting. Point was to loosen up a bit and also push the body horror aspect. Kinda got a little addicted to the fur though. Didn't quite reach what I was aiming for so I may revisit this.

Shout out to @nataliehall, I did draw inspiration from your work. Just to say this is a sketch dump, I'm trying to push my limits in terms of design.

[UPDATE] - Art, Sites, Etc

Hello, friends.

As of this Friday, I am getting laid off from the job I've had for nearly a decade. Which is scary.

While this is happening, I am in the process of working with three amazing sapphic creators (@ependasketchpad, @blackbackedjackal, and @trashasaurusrex, respectively) on building a site that will be the new host for most of the work I would have typically posted on here and Twitter/BSky/etc, as well as some really exciting projects that I am positive people are gonna like seeing.

Much of it will be paywalled, for the simple reason that-- well. This, working on Nina, Sandra, Phoebe, et al's stories, will now be my full-time job. I will still have public-facing work and previews to show on here and other social media sites, but the bulk of my illustrations/sketches/etc will be offered to subscribers.

As much as this is a gamble - people are rightfully annoyed by having a bunch of disparate subscriptions these days - I can promise fans, especially sapphic fans, that it will be worth your while, and as we'll be operating independently, it will be with minimal disruptions/conflicts over whether or not 'adult material' is allowed or an issue (as in, it won't be, there will be no arbitrary blackouts or mass deletions because someone got a bug up their ass, etc).

...Phew.

So, yeah, it's big news. It's big scary. But I'm excited about what we'll be able to do moving forwards, and I am deeply grateful to have been given the reach I need to even think about making any of this a reality.

Last: if you would like to donate to the project as it's being worked on, I am leaving my Patreon up for donations and updates.

Thank you all so much, truly, and I'm looking forward to taking this new (scary) journey with all of you.

❤️🐺❤️

people who are against it/its pronouns are like “but they’re so dehumanising!!” well. what if I’m not human, huh? what if I don’t think of myself as fully human? what if I want to reclaim the dehumanisation I’ve been subjected to my whole life? and what if I want to be sexy about it?

The “Horny Werewolf” Browser Extension Is Real and I Made It

I made it almost six years ago, in fact! But hang on, let’s get the details down in a new post.

In 2008, writer Warren Ellis made a brief blog post about how Valentine’s Day was a bad Christian remix of roman fertility festival Lupercalia

Happy Valentine’s Day to all. And to those who hate the day, I say this: Valentine’s Day is a Christian corruption of a pagan festival involving werewolves, blood and fucking. So wish people a happy Horny Werewolf Day and see what happens.

I liked this concept when I learned about it, so I made web browser extensions for Chrome and Firefox that traverse the text of every web page you visit, searching for variations of the phrase “Valentine’s Day”, and turns them into “Horny Werewolf Day”. You can install them here:

“Valentines For Werewolves” for Google Chrome

“Valentines For Werewolves” for Firefox

People install it, laugh for a while in February, then forget about it, and then one day in August they see something that makes them go “???!!???” and then “oh yeah lmao” and that’s the best. Whenever someone shows me a screenshot of some benign web site that says “Horny Werewolf Day gifts” or “spoil your special Horny Werewolf with a delicious treat” it brings me more delight than I can fully describe.

Here are some important things to know:

Right now it only works for sure on desktop versions of Chrome and Firefox. I will make a Safari version soon. Apple has a whole process involving Xcode that I need to commit to figuring out.

If you install it and you like it and you feel like thanking me, here’s my Ko-fi . Enough support will probably motivate me to figure out how to get the code working on Android versions of Firefox and Chrome.

It needs access to all of the text on every web page you visit so it can look for text to change, but it does not store or send any of that text anywhere. It is literally 18 lines of Javascript regular expressions and for-loops that never leave your computer.

If you like werewolves you will probably like the digital anthology I edit, Werewolves Versus. There are 10 issues so far, including one thematically linked to this browser extension: Werewolves Versus: Romance.

I always love seeing screenshots of this extension in action so please hit me up!

Days 24-25: New Moon/Folk Horror

Her grandmother had said, once, that she’d been either doubly blessed, or doubly cursed. Born with a caul, and on a New Moon? Surely, that has to mean something.

She’d written it off as embarrassing superstition. But it’s been hard to ignore the dream that shows up every time her birthday intersects with that moon phase, or the willowy figure that presides over all of it.

Previously, she’d never been able to make out what she’d been seeing. She only got the impression of something reaching, and did everything she could to get away.

That is, until she met Sandra, pulling the figure’s silhouette out of the uncanny, and into the familiar.

To this day, Nina does not leave the house on a New Moon without two silver coins on her person, just in case she catches sight of it and has to say her 13 rounds of ‘Benvenuta Luna che mi porti fortuna.’

Superstitious or no, there’s no reason to tempt fate. Even if it does invite some strange looks sometimes.
