u/Background_Craft_780

I got a sx-70 untested from Depop. The thing focuses shoots and dispenses film but no matter the environment or exposure it produces black streaky film with no image. I want to send it in to retrospekt to get it looked at and or repaired. I saw some people joking on here after receiving a messed up camera from them saying “average retrospekt repair. Lol”
Just wondering your guyses experience with them and if there’s other places I should look in to. Or hey, since I’m new maybe I’m doing something crazy wrong and my camera isn’t even broken. Thanks!

I just got a sx-70 that looked nice for cheap. It was untested but it looked nice enough. I’ve seen discussion on being able to use 600 film with a filter of some sort (correct me if I’m wrong I’m a bit new to this). If I don’t use the filter is 600 film usable to see if it even works, I don’t care if the image is washed out or bad. I do have sx-70 film coming in the mail but my target sells 600 so in the interest of me being curious and not wanting to wait for the sx-70 film I’d like to see if I can use 600. Thanks yall!

Tw unsafe binding?/////

Hey guys! I wear my binder pretty unsafely from what I can tell. I have really long days with college and I’m a commuter so there is so place for me to take it off for any period of time. The longest I’ve worn it is 22 hours straight. Average is around 15 hours. I even wear it during band camp and football games for my collegiate marching band which for sure breaks the no strenuous activity rule. All this to say. I am NOT condoning or glorifying this, I have issues, and I’m trying to get better at taping so I don’t have to do this anymore. All this being said I have suffered no ill effects after doing this for about a year. Occasionally my lower ribs will hurt or I’ll have a hard time catching my breath but all the issues immediately go away when I take the binder off, there’s no long term issues. However if I’m starting to really injure myself I’d like to know. So basically what are some things to look out for? I can’t really find a concise explanation. Do people experienced bruising? How do I know it’s hurting me?

I’d be ok with not being trans too. I just want an answer as to what I’m supposed to be. I feel like I can’t decide. I want to be a man but the thought of my family judging me makes me sick. They aren’t homophobic just gossipey. I also want to be a teacher and am in college for it now. The way the world is going I’m afraid I’ll get my degree and be fired or hurt because people are afraid of trans people. I used to pass when I was 14 but now that I’m in college I’m so small compared to the men and I haven’t passed in years. I was trans and convinced myself I wasn’t and now it’s creeping back in. I’m afraid I’ll regret staying a woman and I’ll regret becoming a man. I just wish I could be cis and happy but every time someone calls me a girl I feel sick. I read as a lesbian which is fine but I get asked my pronouns all the time and I just can’t say he because I know I don’t look like one and it’ll just confused everyone. Idk. This just sucks. I wish I could at least take T. I feel so lost and I can see my younger years that I could be living as a man slip away every day. I don’t want to disappoint my grandparents. I hate this :(
