Older women, women with weight changes or visible disabilities, or transfolk of Lemmy - how has the male gaze changed for you?
  • I'm mid-30s be went through a weight fluctuation. I used to be very thin and honestly quite hot, though I didn't realize it. I never really felt like I got much male attention. I also hated being perceived and pretty much avoided men, so that's probably why. Then I gained weight (around 40 pounds) and did a lot of mental and emotional work and learned to live my body. I felt better and more beautiful in my bigger body than I ever did when I was young. I also had way more male attention. Maybe because my own confidence had grown. In the past 2 years, I lost the weight and at first got my "old" body go but then started working out a lot and have a new, different, strong body. Which, on top of the work I did when I was bigger, I love my body. I definitely notice eyes following me a lot, but have less approaches. Hopefully I'm intimidating.

  • Sourdough advice?

    I just got a sourdough starter from my aunt and was excited to begin but all instructions seem so technical and overwhelming. Anyone who has been there/done that have good advice?

    What's going on with Google's search engine?

    It all of a sudden became TERRIBLE and now I can't find anything? When did this happen? Why did this happen?

    Sleeping habits disrupted

    Anyone else having a hard time sleeping? My habit for the last 10 years or so was scrolling on RIF until I was ready to sleep. Now I'm navigating Lemmy, which I feel so-so about and it's not giving me the sleepy feelings. I just want to fall asleep! RIF, I miss you!

    Found a movie from childhood

    My sister and I were having dinner and reminiscing about old movies we'd watched as kids. We got to talking about one and could only remember a single scene, nothing else. We both googled and googled and FINALLY FOUND IT. Then found out it was free to watch on YouTube. Watched it tonight after dinner and it surprisingly held up. (the movie was Little Secrets, it came out in 2001)

    What movie do you remember but couldn't remember what it was? Did you ever find it?
