Miri, he/they, 30s, agender aroace, AuDHD, Spoonie, Jewish. I'm from America, and I moved to Israel in 2018. Bibi and Likud can go die in a fire. Bothering me about the country I live in will solve literally nothing, and will only get you blocked.
Back on hiatus!

StumbleUpon once sent me to a supercut of Lion King, Lion King 1 ½, and Lion King II, the main edit being that the scenes of Lion King and Lion King 1 ½ 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.”
I can’t speak for other social media webbed sites but I really enjoy how tumblr seems to just completely spin a wheel on whatever media is hot right now. Like yeah sometimes it’s a new show that’s big and actively coming out but also sometimes there will be a solid month where half my dash is Columbo memes. Defy authority. Get really into an book from the 1800s. Watch shows that haven’t aired in 40 years. Celebrate the anniversary of the Boston Molasses Flood. Become unmarketable
lord of the rings really was lightning in a bottle. it shouldn’t have worked but by god it did. peter jackson, who had no filmmaking education and was mostly known for making low budget splatter movies, had no business going out and changing the movie industry like that but he did. return of the king showed up at the oscars and became one of the most awarded movies of all time. to this day it holds the record for the highest clean sweep. hollywood will keep trying to recreate that magic with bigger budgets and high profile actors and they will keep failing. i look at the state of these blockbusters where everything is smoothed over by soulless cgi and actors are acting opposite tennis balls and they will never hold a candle to the pure heart and soul and craft of the lord of the rings. every single person involved in that project loved being part of it and it fucking shows. i’m so thankful the stars aligned the way they did for these movies to happen like that.
haven’t worn makeup or shaved legs since i was 19 (shaved armpits once in the past few years, when wearing a sleeveless dress at my best friend’s wedding)
Nothing bad has happened
if people get mad inside their own heads about a choice YOU make about YOUR own body, that means you have power over them.
contradicting beauty standards is like casting a permanent area of effect spell around yourself that makes the meanest, most uptight and judgmental people around you have a worse day.
It’s worth doing, even just purely for the satisfaction of becoming totally immune to so many advertisements. like 1/3 of the youtube ads i got became completely worthless. makeup wipes? mascara? moisturizing shaving cream? fancy pink razor? things I simply do not need, things I simply cannot use. the fools……….
