gucci is fucking trash
Ngl chiefs I just took a look at the gucci store briefly and it's so disappointing

jewelry wise? yeah, just have the simple ring from there, rest I have is from elsewhere
I mean, I just really like all the diamonds and jewelry and shit, but on the same hand I don't want to look like lil xan

I know it's not everyone's cup of tea, rings, ice and shit, but I personally really enjoy it, even if most men (besides rappers with lil in their name) don't, plus I already have too many fucking shoes, I need to get other shit so I stop stockpiling them... i love shoes and belts man, this way I have a different type of collection to build up

alright but you see that argument is very often used against shit like, for example, a gay couple kissing in a movie, or even existing in media at all. you'll get people going "whats the point in having the gays in [x] its shoving it down our throats". at that point it pretty obviously boils down to "i'm okay with gay people but only if they're somewhere where i can't see them so i can forget they exist".

dont even get me fucking started on people doing the same shit about trans people

Yeah but consider that, in media, LGBT representation is often 'forced' (probably wording it badly) in that the gay couple in a movie may potentially only be there because the writers want to deliberately draw attention to their LGBT representation, which ends up being disproportionate to how heterosexuality is represented, which then can lead to LGBT characters becoming alienated by the audience since the script makes sure to hammer home the fact that they're queer as if it's not normal

Ammolite is my favourite gem - mostly because of my ex-gf, it was her favourite and she kept telling me about it. It's the only organic gem in the world and is only found in one river in Canada.

Throwback to my intersex lesbian gf posts:
Sad story time.

I dated this girl for a few months who has type 2 Depressive Bipolar Disorder. And she has it quite bad. So she was really worried about getting in a relationship with me, and she's also intersex, meaning she was born with boy chromosomes instead of girl chromosomes, which is a huge problem for her because testosterone reduction in bipolar women causes an increase in mood swings - so it's a catch 22, really.

But me and her fell in love, she was honestly the most amazing woman I've ever met in my life, she was truly just remarkable. She keeps bee's, flowers of all kinds, she's in love with nature, has a bunch of really cool pets and loves dog's just as much, if not more, then I do. She's really into nature and just impecably adorable in every way, she has the most caring personality I've ever met, honestly could not ask for a more caring and understanding soul.

And well, this might be hard for some to understand but I have aspergers syndrome and it's hard for me to really kind of express my emotions, and when I do feel them it's usually not much or it's a lot at once.

And when I met her it was like my heart just flooded, as soon as I met her and talked with her it was like something about her just shined brighter then a star could. As soon as I saw her I just fell in love. It's really hard to describe but it was like having a waterfall condensed into my heart, it was just like it was bleeding, but in a great way, everytime I got the chance to talk to her I could help but just get the dumbest smile on my face.

We both quickly fell in love with eachother, I got her an ammolite ring a couple months back, Ammolite's her favourite gem as it's the only one in the world that's organically made, and I was able to guess it first time. I also got her some books she wanted to read and my husky teddy that she thought was really cute.

She promised to make me one, which she's still making, despite what happened.

She broke up with me once, but quickly got back with me, and we recently broke up again. And honestly I'd never felt a pain closer to it, but she still loves me, and I still love her more then I can express in words to the point that I'm crying as I'm writing this just thinking about her and it's just overwhelming.

She didn't break up with me because of anything I did, rather the contrary. She feels with her condition that she doesn't trust herself not to hurt me, or to have a hypermania swing that goes to far or a depressive swing that upsets me and the thought of that just kills her inside. And so she broke up with me to stop herself from hurting me, which hurt a lot, honestly. It was something I had a hard time processing, and still do. But I can understand why she did it.

I still love you Cass, and I know you still love me.

I hope to see you soon <3

Also! The gifts I got her:

475F031756E25495AF9D46B41B6275DBD3453AB8
Oh also, just as a little more info, she's planning on growing and making me a bouquet of pink roses. Also think you might like to see some of the stuff she grows.

We also used to stay up at night, usually head to bed at around 10ish and watch netflix series, probably some of the best time we spent together was just watching dumb stuff on netflix, but watching it together was really what made it great.

also on her pets, when I asked how many she had, this is what she said:
"2 dogs, 1 rabbit, 1 bearded dragon, 1 parrot, 2 fish tanks and expanding, and lots of inverts. I used to have about 20-30 pets at a time "
She also occasionally keeps butterflies, bee's, ants and other little insects.

She also made a dog with a life expectancy of about 10-15 years live up to 19. All her pets live to miraculous ages, including the rabbits. She just has a way of nurturing things that's just beyond impressive. So much so that she once adopted one dog that was going to be put down as a puppy as it wasn't likely to survive, the puppy ended up outliving the previous owner and is currently one of the last of the litter still alive.

i am and remain unphased by shit like that cuz it wont change a thing anyways

also twitter is and has always been a poor representation of opinion as a whole as those who screech the loudest are he ones seen, not the overall majority

ur stupid if you think ppl don’t wanna see gay or trans ppl in shows

representation matters man. lgbt people would only benefit from positive representation in media. How many shows with/about trans people are there where it isn’t tragic, a cutting drama, or they’re portrayed as the villain or a joke? Most transgender representation is disgusting, and it does have an impact on how society views people like that.

people form bonds with characters. Characters shape how we view each other and ultimately the minority represented. Representation has a proven link to acceptance or an increase is brand ownership or whatever. Remember that scene in Jackie Brown where he’s talking about how people buy guns they see in movies. Or what about smoking? Hollywood pushed smoking in movies as cool and it worked. Scully from the xfiles has a linked increase in women getting into STEM, all because they saw someone who looked like them be smart.

This is studied so if you don’t believe me look it up.

No I'm not arguing against their presence/representation

I'm saying that the script often doesnt treat them like normal people

It's kinda hard to word but idk if you get what I mean
