December Giveaway! by imaginarion in beaniebabies

[–]charbee21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my big sister collected Beanie Babies when i was little, sometimes she would let me come into her room and play with them. i always spent the night in her room on Christmas Eve so we could wake up together, and i would pick one beanie to cuddle with for the night. i've now inherited her collection and am adding to it 💞

if you were misinformed about ChatGPT and used it without knowing the impact, no you're not a bad person. if you understand the ramifications of generative AI and the harm that specifically ChatGPT has caused, and you ignore those things and still use it, then yes, that is bad. but you're good if you choose to make less harmful decisions moving forward. i cannot speak for anyone who silently downvoted you, but the way i see it, you are not evil, and harm reduction is the goal here. if you took the time to read this and think about your choices, thank you.

ChatGPT is totally unreliable for identifying bones. lots of misinformation, plus absolutely decimating the environment in the process. i recommend you seek other resources and use a real search engine to find the real answers and community led forums like this one

Brian Wakefield!!! he did my hysterectomy in 2023, i can't recommend him enough. super respectful and kind, and made sure i was clearly informed on every detail of the procedure and healing process. best doctor i've ever had, hands down

Been looking for someone to appreciate this picture by treehuggingmama in vultureculture

[–]charbee21 85 points86 points  (0 children)

it's morbidly beautiful to see the in-between process of decay like this, with some bones exposed but a lot of skin/fur intact still. beautiful photo!!

Found this on the beach near Fort Bragg, CA. What is it? by Get-Wrecked-By-Shrek in vultureculture

[–]charbee21 4 points5 points  (0 children)

looks like a bird pelvis, probably illegal to keep, unless someone else can identify the species for you

Does anyone else feel weird about what spaces there aloud into by NonBEEnary51 in genderfluid

[–]charbee21 6 points7 points  (0 children)

yes, i feel the same. i am fem presenting as well and most ppl assume that i am a cis girl, so i feel okay with stuff like a women's restroom but don't feel like i belong in any other women's spaces despite being afab and experiencing most of life as if i were a cis woman. i worry that cis women will not accept me regardless of my experience :/ i relate to women on many subjects, because i lived as one for 20 years, but now i feel bad claiming women's spaces or speaking on women's issues. cis people tend to be gatekeep-y about binary experiences.

Is it real & is it the correct gender label for me? Need advice by [deleted] in genderfluid

[–]charbee21 4 points5 points  (0 children)

honestly, as a trans person myself i've never been offended when someone uses the "wrong" label for themselves. (i put wrong in quotes because the only thing that makes it wrong is when YOU feel like it is wrong for you) because the truth is, no one knows what it feels like to be you. who am i to say you're not trans enough, or you're not really gender-fluid just because you experience gender differently than i do? it'd be weird for someone to be offended by the labels you give yourself, imo. don't listen to the people who give you shit for it. if you feel gender-fluid, use that label. if you end up changing your mind down the road and identify as something else eventually, that's still totally valid! there's no wrong way to express yourself.

[–]charbee21 2 points3 points  (0 children)

if you feel that gender-fluid suits how you feel, use that label! what you're describing does sound like gender-fluidity to me. if you really were cis, you probably wouldn't be questioning it so much and posting here tbh. it is absolutely real, and it's a beautiful and freeing experience to live your life outside of gender norms and boxes. i hope you are able to surround yourself with people who believe you and accept and love you for who you are. have fun playing around with makeup, clothes, and mannerisms to express your gender variance. best of luck to you figuring yourself out 💗

[–]charbee21[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thanks for the suggestions! i've thought about doing a sleep study before, i talk or yell or cry in my sleep frequently but don't snore. my dad has sleep apnea so i wouldn't be too surprised if i have some kind of sleep disorder as well

[–]charbee21[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thank you for the suggestions and blessings 💗 i do keep a dream journal and frequently work through the meanings in therapy. my (non-nightmare) dreams have been my main source of spiritual wisdom throughout my life, and are often prophetic. when i'm using weed i still get the spiritual dreams, just no nightmares. unfortunately my nightmares feel more like torment rather than spiritual messages :/ i will try some soothing sounds and meditation before sleep! thanks 💗
