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."

Love when you try to take a screenshot but fuck up the timing of the volume down lock button combo and are left sitting there with slightly softer music and a black screen and you just have to sit there looking at your reflection on the locked phone and contemplate your failure for a bit

What have you done to make a trans woman happy today?

[pansyfemme]

i love headcanoning old men as ftm. like considering fandom loves to equate being transmasc to being young no one will probably agree with me but i look into his eyes and see the wisdom only a post-menopausal man could provide

[tomarrymorrt]

I don’t think anything could possibly describe Voldemort better than the phrase ‘a post-menopausal man’ because he is that. that is him.

Voldemort is ftm in my mind for the sole reason that he NEEDS to experience menopause. It’s character development idk what to tell you.

in the early 21st-century, the “small business” was a sort of small temple run by a local warlord. Patrons could purchase small trinkets and be granted absolution for the sins of their empire. This was called “ethical consumption.”

[calamity-corner]

idk i just don't think monogamous people should be writing about polyamory. i kinda don't give a shit about your opinions on it. delete your stupid article

[calamity-corner]

like oh have poly tranny dykes just had it too good lately? do we need to remind them that their relationships are actually #problematic? really gotta knock them down a peg huh? should we invite fox news?

[calamity-corner]

SHOULD WE INVITE THE FUCKING PUPPYGIRL

[wizardarchetypes]

i went into the tattoo parlor and i was like ‘i scheduled a piercing’ and they were like ‘piercing’s are upstairs’ so i went up the stairs and there was a barber shop and i said i’d scheduled a piercing and they said ‘upstairs’ so i went up the stairs and there was a second tattoo shop and it was rly classic trad with two cartoon buff guys and they didn’t even let me talk, they said, ‘upstairs’ before i asked and then i went to the fourth floor and it was one single room the size of a closet with the piercer and the apprentice in the doorway like 👫🙂🙂

[mousidy]

hey, feel absolutely free to delete this, i'm just kind of rambling/venting and asking for advice

i'm eighteen (turning 19 very soon) and i'm homeless, i survive by staying with partners and friends most of the time. on top of all this i'm closeted. i just present myself as a feminine twink, it almost feels easier than coming out and trying to be seen as a woman :[ i'm so dysphoric though, all the time. i dont even like going out in public half the time because i know everyone sees me as a man.

i tried dating a trans man recently. he was immediately supportive of me being trans, or at least seemed to be. i rushed into it and it didn't work out, and while he was kicking me out, he misgendered me to my face. after over a week of being incredibly affirming.

that was the first person i've ever told irl. i honestly just dont know what to do. i need to come out eventually, i can't keep living like this, but the thought is so intimidating. i already dont like going out places, i think i'd have a panic attack if i tried to go somewhere in a skirt.

i dont know where i'd start with being openly trans, or even being more feminine, i'm just so fucking scared. any advice helps ms mousey :( you inspire me more than you know, i love your blog so much. have a great day/night ❤️

finding other trans women would be my first priority. we are safest with each other by far. I would also be very happy to help spread your venmo/ko-fi/paypal/fundraiser/etc to help support you. I'm fortunate to never have been homeless, so I don't have advice specific to that, but if anyone reading this wants to lend some advice they're invited to!

[pitbolshevik]

tbh i know I've talked about this many times but it's unbelievably cruel imo to act like trans men are simply not capable of being seen as men ever by anyone and that passing is an unrealistic fantasy that very few trans men achieve.

like jesus christ i am so glad you losers weren't around when i was 18. if i had droves of self proclaimed transmasc activists telling me that everyone will always know i was afab no matter what i would've just straight up killed myself i think

[pitbolshevik]

anyway to any young transmascs reading this: it is absolutely possible for you to pass. not everyone passes, that is true, but a significant number of us do.

i am almost completely stealth and living in a conservative town in Florida (not by choice lol). i can guarantee you that no one is just humoring me when they refer to me as a man and yet i can count on one hand the number of times I've been misgendered in public since my voice dropped.

and I'm not some hypermasculine lumberjack looking guy either. i am a skinny babyfaced nerd with patchy facial hair. nobody in my town aside from doctors and my family has any idea that I'm not a cis man.

do not go to Dr. Kenneth Wolf for top surgery

[glumshoe]

I went to him because he was 1.) the cheapest possible option and since I needed crowdfunding that seemed best 2.) within driving distance of my friends who’d be able to host me. I didn’t have any complications and I don’t hate my results, so the fact that he stopped offering free revisions after COVID (including for people who had their surgeries before the pandemic) and ghosts everyone isn’t a huge deal personally. I do have moderate to severe dog-earring right in the middle my chest which limits what clothing I can wear and have inquired about possible revisions with other surgeons (so far no one has been willing to operate on other dr’s work and have told me I’d need to pay the price of a full secondary top surgery). Dr. Wolf famously ghosts all his patients after surgery and has strict weight limits.

HOWEVER I accompanied my friend to their top surgery at the University of Michigan last year that made Dr. Wolf’s entire process seem back alley and sketchy by comparison. My friend had extensive pre- and post-surgical monitoring and extreme sanitary precautions. Dr. Wolf just had me take off my shirt and slapped me on the operation table still wearing my street clothes and then scraped me up and sent me home the moment I regained consciousness. His bedside manner was offputting and uncomfortable. It has been impossible to contact him ever since, even to ask politely why my stitches look so different from his other results. Other people with much worse results have also been ghosted.

conservatives and fascists are obviously whom i would consider to be a more pressing political enemy but on a personal level the centrists are honestly more repellent to me on just an irrational gut level. i think having zero interest in anything other than maintaining the status quo because it has not inconvenienced you too much is pathetic, but what's worth is how many of them consider this complete disinterest in how the world around them should operate to be a more Mature and Enlightened perspective than those pesky heated people on ~both sides~ who just can't get get over caring about petty squabbles like "who counts as a full person" and "who deserves food, shelter, and water". absolutely repugnant.

[ot3]

like its not as if i Respect right wingers for being Committed To Their Principles because their principles are uhhhh evil but i sure as fuck Disrespect centrists for having none
