I can't stress enough how much I miss StumbleUpon

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.

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

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

mini compilation of suggestions from the replies:

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

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."

rb this to give the person you reblogged from a very tiny frog

on a similar note to that 'i think a lot of you guys forget people hate women' post; I think a lot of you guys forget how bad racism truly is and how deeply pervasive and entrenched antiblackness is.

what a beautiful day to not be in high school

This is the like those “remember to be grateful you don’t have a sore throat right now” posts. It IS a beautiful day to not be in high school! Thank you!

I've queued this up because who doesn't wanna get surprised by their own words?

I talked about the NWSL (National Women's Soccer League) and it inspired me to pick up the fic where Alex coaches an NWSL team.

Cause ~indulgent

"You played like somebody lit a fire under you and it was the last game you were going to play. It didn’t matter if you were playing for club or country, you played like it was the World Cup final,” Fox says. It stings; of course it does. He thinks of June, telling him the same and he doesn’t want to hear it from Fox of all people.
”Oh, I’m so sorry that being competitive is such a downside to you. Must be that cut short career,” Alex says, aware that he’s being rude and snide and all those things he said he’d never be.
”Coaching women as a man is different than being coached as a man by other men and if you’re not ready to hear that, I’m not wasting my breath,” Fox says. He gathers his bag and levels Alex with a glance that makes Alex feel abruptly small and alone; like a kid flying by himself just to see his Dad across the country. “When you’re ready to discuss it rationally, you know where to find me. Go home, Alex.”
And that, somehow, makes it worse.
===
They lose the next three games and Alex can feel the eyes on him. The ones that say he's too young, he's too inexperienced, he's too much for this job. Or that maybe this job is too much for him.
They manage a half-assed draw on the last game; Alex is under no illusions that he had anything to do with it. He'd been ejected in the last ten minutes by the ref; Alex's stomach dropping to his feet to see the red card held aloft while the crowd roared.

No pressure tagging some pals!!

This would indicate that Corporate America was always rainbow washing with their participation in Pride events.

This is a great reminder that Corporate America is not now, has never been, and never will be on your side.

Remember this when Corporate America puts out all their meaningless hashtag pride statements in a couple of months, and don't let them get away with it. Call them out, and give your support to the people who do stand up when it matters, not just when it's convenient or profitable.

reblog to give your headache to elon musk instead

I’d just like to point out the growth in this post has mostly coincided with elon’s public spiral downward and I’d like to think we’re all a small part of that

bro can’t think because he’s just got a rager of a migraine 24/7

yes I would like to give elon musk my menstrual pain. I think he deserves it

Reblog to also give Elon Musk your menstrual pain.

by the power invested in me by endometriosis and adenomyosis~

I genuinely believe that the new SW trilogy wouldn’t have flopped out into irrelevance like it did if they hadn’t dumped Finn on the side of the freeway like a new pet rabbit the week after easter

Anyway in my heart Finn became a Jedi alongside Rey and inspired a Stormtrooper insurrection and Kyle Ron went back to his mom like he should have day fucking one and that angry redhead dude blew up with the star destroyer and Poe got to make it happen and at the end Rey doesn’t give a shit who her bitch ass non-palpatine parents might have been because she gets her new family like she needed and palpatine stays dead at the bottom of his musty hole like he should have and Finn and Poe give each other approximately 130% the amount of lingering meaningful looks and then one of their run-together-to-reunite moments results in a heat-of-the-moment make out like it should have and Luke and Leia meet in person a minimum of once so she can sibling slap him at least once for being a useless dramatic old hermit for a billion years and tell him to get the Chanel boots back on and stop being a sad hobo and then for no reason at all there is an ewok style moon of Endor forest party at the end like God intended

i feel like the youth should be reminded that the point of shipping is not for a ship to become canon. the point of shipping is to collect all the canon crumbs like starved mice, run away cackling and make some fun little scenarios with them just for the hell of it.
