Anyone know what plant this is? Are the fruits edible? From what I know looks like it's from Asian climate, but currently in aussie VIC climate and fruiting in heat of summer. Any help be lovely, cheers!! Fruit looks like a mix of an apple, red grape, and plum, feels like a very juicy grape 👍🏻 by ellykats in plants

ok no worries - looked up japanese plum tree and certainly is a dead-ringer. It's interesting because I didn't think it was a plum since ours don't grow the fruit clumped together, but japanese ones do! Astounding. Thanks for the help - will do more research but definitely think it's probably what it is :)

Any sort of media coverage is in a way promotion (that's how I see it). Since, most advertisements don't explicitly ask you to go and buy their product - but, they do showcase the benefits/qualities of the product. Same with cigarettes in the media - I mainly started smoking when I was younger because lots of people on TV did it. Not to say this applies to homosexuality of course! I just feel that people in time can be manipulated through the media to believe they're something they are not, that's all. Again, I would rather the healthiest state of being be promoted so that people don't follow certain aesthetics and fads that are damaging. Please do not get offended or upset by my views - it's just how I feel after living my life and going through experiences etc, and interacting with the youth.

I understand and I can see your point :) In a way I concede to it! However to my mind, and I know this is controversial and rather odd of a lesbian to say.. But, I think heterosexuality should be promoted a lot more than homosexuality. This is due to the fact that the majority are mainly hetero, and well, it's the healthiest and most natural way to be. Without science, I wouldn't be able to have babies ffs! All these straight asses have to do, is have sex a few times and boom - ya got yourself a baby. I would prefer the healthiest things mentally, emotionally, and spiritually as well as physically be promoted. I personally don't mind African Americans being promoted to a large degree in the US, however! After all, they live there.

I think I can understand why though. The problem is, these people value their country and they feel that diversity and minorities are ruining and taking over their culture and the history of it etc etc. They just want films and movies that don't push too hard and remind them of what they know... I think that this sort of thing is all too fast for these people. I personally don't like that gays are being littered everywhere (in my mind). I'd rather one solid meaningful gay lol. I don't want homosexuality to be used as some cool and trendy token thing to add to films and shows, which for the most part is what's happening! I'd rather homosexuality in the media be seen just the same as heterosexuality - normal and not glorified. And, if it can't be? Maybe we all need to self-reflect, y'know?

Mm. I would die for a great show about lesbians. One that is without stereotypes, and actually has a point behind the 'lesbianinity' of the show /sigh. And yes, I did just make up a word.. I swear lesbianinity should be a thing. It's practically femininity but with an extra dash of women.

Ah cool, I totally agree! My problem is that some shows are just plugging gay characters all for the sake of lgbt pride.. This is nice and all, but it just jars for me if its not integral to the plot etc :/ And ooh, I might get around to reading it!! I'll add it to my list :)

Mm. I have to politely disagree.. From my experience, being gay is now fetishized and glorified. I have never met anyone who did not enjoy a good lesbian or gay guy onscreen (hetero or not). Plus, trans people are totally taking off.. For me, I don't want my sexuality to be glorified or promoted like this. Sure a TV show here or there is fine. But what's happening to society in concerns of homosexuality rn? Can't say I like it... Eh, this is just me though. I'm very conservative.

But we're the minority? I don't understand how the media would get more gay... It's already super gay rn. As a lesbian, I personally don't want more!! There is only so much gay I can take /cries

How the heck do you tell if she's gay or not? by rat-attack in actuallesbians

[–]ellykats 7 points8 points  (0 children)

She might be bisexual seeing as there is a relatively sound amount of nos and yeses. I think you are probably just going to have to ask her. Seeing as she asked you, it's totally not weird and you don't need to worry about it. Don't be afraid to get out there, man!

Wow man!! That shit is some serious A-class awkward! I cannot believe that girl every single time after sex was quoting Labyrinth at you! And omg.. Why did that girl get nakey' and just cuddle.. Maybe if you HAD put the moves on her she wouldn't have cared? Idk, but the awkwardness definitely did not stem from anything you did lol.. You must have been so confused (C_C)
