Wigging.. is this good  buy?

Wigging.. is this good buy?

I wanted more flexibility with styling my outfits (also I'm starting to learn most people whose styles I like are wear extensions or wigs) I'm into more alt style and I wanted to make sure this would be an okay or poor purchase. I'm definitely going to cut shorter and style it fit my face more or maybe bring it to a salon to help me. If anyone can recommend the same wig from a better quality shop that would be great thank you.

What does androgyny/gender identity feel like to you?

I hope this allowed I apologize if no.

I just got top surgery last week and while I'm laid up I've been kind of having a "talk" with my body and going over in my mind how I saw myself when my journey started and how I am currently when it came to solidifying my gender identity and finding what feels right. There's something so connecting almost like my soul was above my body tethered by a cord and slowly but carefully I'm pulling it back down. I think what helped is learning that it's not one size fits all.

COUNT YOU DAYS CAMPSNAP 😡

Bro I did not spend my childhood taking apart my Mother's household appliances to be bested by a child lock screw. ALL my screw drives and not one thing worked I'm low key jealous of the way this hold is getting resized. Even on the CS2 (which had a manufacturing error and CS told me to send back so I got this instead) I had screw trouble but I was able to get that one open. I've been at this for HOURS 😭

Archery Session 2

Day 2

I was very eager to return! There are a few more people shooting this time around and I felt a bit shy especially when I realized people waiting on me to finish my last shot to say clear (I tried to hurry so wasn't last).

One thing I learned: Twisting the arrow once notched so the fletching (right? 😬) is oriented properly. I knew something was wrong but because the arrows weren't mine I was to afraid to mess with it but the worker helped me and lucky I asked because one of the weird feeling arrows I picked up was in fact damaged.

Shooting: It's only day two so my main goal was mostly trying to get a feel of my form and directing my arrow. If you look my beginning shots were mainly hitting the left side of the target, this was before I asked for help adjusting my arrows. I was still firing a little wonky but with adjusting I was able to better control where I wanted to hit. I wanted to play a bit more with that so any you in the gray is me this messing around at some point I wanted to see if I could make a line from top to bottom.

Obviously I didn't know what to do for drills and I wasn't satisfied with my shooting but I'm trying to remember I can't start being bitter with myself (especially because I don't know what I'm doing lol.) I ended my session when my finger (mainly my pointer) started hurting)

I need to practice gripping my bow because I noticed I wasn't getting it into the meat of my hand. At home I need to work on my form so I don't have that unnatural feeling I kept feeling in the back of my mind. Can't wait for next time, I found the whole thing very therapeutic.

If any one has advice to share that would be cool.

YO I WAS SHOOTIN

Im new to this sport and the environment and I would love to know anything you want to tell beginners when it comes to etiquette and basic "you should know" tips so it's a little less awkward when I go by myself

Also how can practice at home when it comes to form and good shoot habits

THANKS

----------------My Ted Talk--------------

I had my first lesson today! I was more into it than I expected. It was a 1 on 1 less and the range one had one other person in there other than us.

This was my first real time shooting, the only other time I touched a bow was when I was at camp as a kid and I was to afraid to pull the string back because the teenage councilor kinda did a poor job of explaining that the bow exploding wasn't a spontaneous thing and it could only occur during dry firing (if this is false PLEASE DONT tell me lol).

And the session was a decent price. I think I paid $72 for time, lesson, and equipment (he even allowed me free time to shoot as long as I wanted since it was slow even though it was a 2 hour session.

I definitely want do another session, the instructor told me he doesn't think I need to do another lesson just come in and practice . I don't think I'm ready to go head first into buying equipment (but bro I want to 😩).

CS2 malfunction do I swap to the PRO?

So on this post I was taking about my CS 2 and the issues I've been having with shots. I contacted support and they were agreeing something is incorrect ( I sent them other examples) and they are walking me through and exchange/return.

I wondering if I should ask to do a refund and return and then use the money toward a CS pro? I like the shots I've been seeing. I'm not sure if I can upload custom filters to it and I'm worried about the "pocketablity" of it since it is bigger.

Idk if it would be a downgrade. So if anyone has the CS2 and the Pro I would love to hear you thoughts

Bunnies and trans symbolizing

Is it a common thing that Bunnies have some symbolic relationship with being trans? I've just been noticing a pattern but idk if it just consequence

u/lulhoepeep — 3 months ago

Do you guys like your Campsnaps 2

Maybe Im doing something wrong or maybe it's my filters or I need to invest in accessories. Please tell me!!

I lost my v105 so when the CS2 came out on sale I said let me just snag it because I miss my campsnap.

And listen I understand small camera processor and I use to shoot professional but put down the hobby for a very very long time but I swear that this is shooting not up to par with the v105?

Ive taken over 100 shots and the exposure is really blown and I swear my shots are crooked the viewfinder is not in line at all. Im not sure if I lost my skill set here or if Im over estimating this camera but I just don't remember my v105 being this disappointing like all my shots look accidental.

Also the blurriness from the shutter speed. Like I know how to hold my shot steady and I even take two in a row.

I like campsnap because with the lack of screen I don't obsess over framing shutter and aperture but I like I dont "trust" the camera.

Maybe I just need to shoot longer on it but I want to make sure it's something on the Manufacture side.

Book Orbit and Xteink

I just downloaded Book Orbit recently, the UI is much nicer than Calibre for statistics and organizing for me personally. I was trying to develop a work flow between Orbit and Calibre. I've got my x4 (running crossink) to authenticate the URL server I've set up for Orbit for Koreader but when I push progress from a book I get a failed message. Anyone know of a way to set up communication?

Unique things you write/collect in your journal?

A few things I like writing down:

- Things I've overheard from people while I'm out and about

- Cool and funny License Vanity Plates I see on the road

- When I have a bad interaction with someone like a customer I write it down like a product review because it helps me control me repetitively thinking about it

- Question I would ask my favorite band members

- Words that I hear or read in books, I look them up and write them down (Saw another redditor do this, very fun!)

Would love to hear your entries!

Tattoo gender symbol help/ Vent

Can anyone confirm if this symbol is used for transgender fluidity or nonbinary? I want to get a tattoo and I saw this symbol listed for transgender and it's funny because Hermes is one of my favorite deities.

Also I feel like I'm in a pickle because I have no clue what my label is anymore. I feel male and female but more male but not male in the traditional sense but I want to continue looking feminine ( or how I do now) but slightly more maleish.

When I was younger before I knew trans existed I used to be confused as male all the time and I used to have mixed feelings because I felt more comfortable as being seen male but I felt offended when people asked because I thought they were calling me ugly (bc I saw that a lot in media growing up)

This also makes it hard because I'm still deciding if I want to go on micro T also sometimes it feels like I'm faking my trans-ness

Great Googly Moogly 🤪

What do I do now that I'm done

So in Dec 2024 I went on Zepbound my initial weight was 201lbs (heaviest I've ever been) and as of today I weigh 137lbs. Now I'm figuring out where to go from here? Without getting too deep into I have a lot of health issues one that specifically needs food restrictions that I've been doing since birth. Before Zepbound I was struggling with basically two diets ( Medical and Weight Loss) and I only saw weight loss progress if I was doing the weight loss/ exercise diet in extreme and unhealthy ways.

So now I'm in maintenance territory but I want to come off injection and maybe do a pill and I heard of the Wegovy pill and I believe metformin is another option but I'm so scared that it's not going to be as affective and my food noise and craving are going to come so I want to know what everyone's experience is and if they have any recommendations I should talk to my Zepbound dealer about. Like Zepbound was so freeing with the way I had ZERO craving not even a tummy gurgle and I would like to keep that up so I can not be in this controlling battle with food.

Good news first: I'm getting top surgery AND it's covered by insurance!

I'm on the nonbinary spectrum of things so I'm getting a reduction and if anything my Doctor says we can revisit.

I still live at home and my household is pretty toxic my relationship with my Mom is very strained and although I don't like using the term my therapist says I might have a Narcissistic Parent. I'm closeted (another reason for the reduction) and I've only told a few people (no family just friends), I was waiting for a good time to tell her about the reduction, but she had found the info pamphlet they gave me at the office. Instantly she was against it which I wasn't surprised about. Last week I found out about the approval and of course I'm going to need transport so I summoned up the courage to ask and she flat out told me she refuses to take any part. Again I wasn't surprised, but it still hurts a little. I have this person in my life who use to be my babysitter when I was a kid and watched me grow up. I am so happy to have her in my life because she had shown me what unconditional love is. Like my Mom, she's religious and I was so scared to tell her, but she was basically like "Of course I still love you" and her only issue was she was worried about my safety when it came to T and surgeries. She also told me I can never tell my Mom.

I couldn't image coming out to my Mom if this is how she acts for a surgery primarily performed on women. This is really just the tip of the iceberg for my home life, I'm hoping I strike some gold soon that allows me to move out ghost my family and start actually being alive.

I'm also so thankful for my friends who are asking if they can be present. Even my friends who moved out of state have volunteered to give me a ride to my appointment which really chokes me up to have love like that but also rubs salt in the wounds because I'm just like "Wow my Mom doesn't actually love me ig."

While I'm here if anyone has any tips for recovery I would love to hear and not secrets also I did tell my surgeon what I want but I was thinking of making a fun little packet so they have a hard copy and I'm wonder for those who had Top Surgery is there any "features" (lol) I should take into consideration?

Thanks for reading (note: wrote this while having a pounding headache so excuse the typos)
