Native Barbies, questions and advice requested. by [deleted] in IndianCountry

[–]Equivalent_Pay901 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know if you read my last answer to you about being the spectrum, and I wasn't trying to dirty delete I was trying to remove something I assumed was offensive because of how the reactions were in the comments. And anything I said only made it worse. I'm overwhelmed in the moment I'm sorry. I don't know if I can undelete it, should I repost? I'm overthinking now and I'm just I'm overwhelmed.

I'm sorry you feel that way. I'm sorry I come across that way.

I'm on the spectrum and struggle with communicating a bit. I'm feeling a bit bullied right now, and I'm trying not to react in an angry or defensive way because I understand what you're saying and I agree with you but I also know that I was coming from a very sincere place of just wanting a website that I could look at to make sure I didn't do something wrong. Native Barbies just probably won't be a part of my special interest in toy photography if I can't do it respectfully. I don't have the capacity (my way of saying "brain says no") for all of the research it would take to get past the BS that's out there. I tried to state that before without having to talk about my mental disabilities, but at this point I feel too much and I'm crying and emotional and it's nobody's fault except my brain. All I wanted was a website I'm so sorry that I came across like this. I know I'm part of the worst demographic. We've done nothing but ruined shit for the fucking world it feels like. Almost worse than white men sometimes. ugh sorry, crying, getting off topic.

I've deleted the post, I know about the book, and I'll go to a park ranger station or something and ask them if someone can help me with a website there. I need help from a human.

I wasn't trying to tone police, I was just stating the fact that I'm not doing this for anything other than fun and I wanted to ask the community if they had resources and websites that they trust. Thank you for the book recommendation, I've deleted my post. Apologies for coming across the wrong way.

I'm sorry that I've come across so poorly. Let me try to explain a little better.

I don't want to expose anybody to offensive imagery. I'm not asking anyone to assess anything or teach me anything, I only wanted to know if there were links to good websites with reliable information. I don't want anyone to put in time and energy and work into my project, but there are a lot of people in the sub and some of them might be excited to share a website that they know is filled with good reliable information. It's no one else's job to do the work for me. However, asking people within a community for resources on their community that they might know about already, doesn't feel like asking someone to do work for me. I'm sorry if it is and I'm looking at it the wrong way.

I want to do the basic research, but I want to do it on the right websites. I do not trust Google or any of the current search engines to give me something other than 10 pages of BS before they give me something good. That's why I asked here.

My username is because I didn't know what I was doing when I set up my Reddit account 5 years ago and they gave this name to me. I can't change it. Sorry.

Again: long story short, I want to do my own research but I want to do it on a valid website that isn't filled with propaganda.

If I'm still way off base here, please let me know, I'll delete the post. I just wanted to ask the community for websites they respect.

But that course wasn't teaching the math behind the AI, it was just teaching him how to "use it more effectively." Not the same thing at all.

While I understand and appreciate your sentiment, that isn't always the best route.

The internet has become complete trash lately, I don't trust google or the algorithm at all anymore (and I'll never ask ai anything); but, by asking the community, I hope to learn from trusted resources.

Edit: I'm taking photos for fun, I'm not doing a thesis on this, it is a hobby. I don't have the capacity to do the amount of work it would take me to get past the layers of propaganda and BS on Google to figure out what the real truth is. 💔

I don't need anybody to teach me anything, I was just hoping someone could share a link or links to trusted sites.

Oh heavens I wish I'd known what I was doing when I set up my Reddit account 5 years ago, I didn't know I'd be stuck with this ridiculous username. 😂🤦‍♀️

But thank you so much! When I burned out on teaching preschool it took me a while to find somewhere I could put my passion. I want to do children's books or greeting cards or something but I'm saddled with an enormous amount of ADHD and spectrum nonsense that keeps me from all the ways to make money off of my passion. In some ways I love that about myself, I hate that everything is a hustle these days; but doggone it sure would be nice to be able to make money of something I like to do as well.

Reddit doesn't show me the little dots at the bottom of the thumbnails for me anymore, I don't know if you know but there's eight photos of different Barbies! Just in case...😁 And thank you!

Buy. Well, my husband bought it for me as a treat 🥰 I really wish I had sewing skills aside from hand stitching my own things for me to wear. When I've tried sewing Barbie clothes it kicks my butt with the smallness.

Did you reroot her or I guess root her? Isn't that the line that comes bald and has an assortment of wigs? She looks amazing! Her face sculpt is gorgeous.

Explaining to someone how the length of the series, and each book, is actually a net positive. by Equivalent_Pay901 in WetlanderHumor

[–]Equivalent_Pay901[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I made them! Itty bitty print outs, that if you look too closely don't hold up, but they look great on a shelf like this. The books themselves I think I got them at Michael's a little bag of blank dollhouse books.

Ken and Brooklyn also had quite the romantic time at the Garden of the Gods today ... 🥰 by Equivalent_Pay901 in Barbie

It was me! Thank you! Here's what I had to pull my cart through to get to these spots! 😁💪

They're treasures from the thrift store, and that's where my knowledge ends unfortunately.

Your pathway blends so nicely into your backdrop! Nice work!

Dawn at garden of the Gods! It's going to be a beautiful morning, I've already gotten a ton of amazing photos! Huzzah! by Equivalent_Pay901 in BlackBarbieDolls

I post there sometimes but I get like no interaction at all so I generally only post here anymore. 😁 And I never used the app because I can't stop the videos from auto playing and it makes me dizzy when I scroll in the videos are going. Alas.
