I’ve worn hoops basically every day for years and had a few close calls, but ignored it. Then one day it actually snagged and slightly tore my ear 😭 I went down a Reddit rabbit hole after and found so many people with the same issue, stretched holes, tears, even people needing stitches?? Why do earrings have to be: - cute but heavy / risky - or safe but kinda boring I started documenting/testing ideas to see if there’s a better way to design them so I started messing around with designs that: - don’t feel heavy for everyday wear (big hoop attachment you see above weighs around 3 grams) - stay put if you’re just living life, running, jumping or even doing flips - but give way if they get impacted hard (so your ear doesn’t take the hit) After hundreds and thousands of tests and prototype, I have created this snag-free hoop. Putting it out there if anyone’s interested! Would you actually want something like this? Also would genuinely love any thoughts or advice, I’m kind of figuring this out as I go 🙏 We’ve been getting some views/likes so far, but I’m not really sure how to turn that into something more tangible submitted by /u/Ingenihoops to r/Earrings [link] [comments]

I like the look of big hoop earrings or long dangling earrings but I don’t like how they feel on my neck. Is that something that I can just habituate to? How has anyone who liked a certain style but not the texture, sensory experience, etc ever dealt with it. submitted by /u/Tornado_Storm_2614 to r/Neurodivergent [link] [comments]

This is my second order with MC and I’ve been pleased for a 2nd time and decided to post a review! I ordered the 18k white gold Classic Butterfly lab diamond petite hoop earrings from trusted seller Miss Chen (MC) on November 8, 2025, and received them on December 5, 2025. The earrings are absolutely beautiful and well worth the wait. The craftsmanship is excellent! The 18k white gold feels substantial yet delicate, and the butterfly design is elegant and refined. I like how the diamonds show on the back part of the hoop circle so you get this 360 degree effect. The lab diamonds are very sparkly and well-set, especially for a petite hoop style. They look even better in person than in photos. I feel like I can rock these for everyday and for special occasions! PSP photos: https://imgur.com/a/1d02ngg My photos: https://imgur.com/a/Of4mAUK I do have a diamond tester at home and it did verify these stones are diamonds. Quality: 10/10 - super sparkly, well made Communication: 9.5/10 - MC’s team usually responds within a day. I never felt that I was left hanging. They patiently answered all of my questions. Shipping: 10/10 - MC offered VIP shipping service so her policy is if the package gets seized by customs, she would provide a replacement for free. I paid via bank transfer so there were no extra fees and with her VIP shipping insurance complimentary, I felt this was safe/reliable enough to not go through a 3rd party. Also tariffs were a big concern for me. The first time I ordered, I did get hit with a tariff bill, but MC was kind enough to cover it! This time, I have not been hit with any tariff bills yet :) I won’t disclose cost since they’re variable. Please contact MC for her album & costs :) submitted by /u/feline787 to r/JewelryRehome [link] [comments]

I love wearing hoop earrings, I recently bought these ones - do you think they are too big? I know most men don't wear them this size. Included a few pics so you get the vibe/my style. Any feedback would be welcome, thanks submitted by /u/curtainfalls1 to r/MensJewelry [link] [comments]

I (27f) am very confused. My boyfriend (25m) and I are both white. I was at the gym. My boyfriend came to pick me up but I wasn't done with my workout. He pointed out the fact that I was wearing silver hoop earrings. I thought he was going to say it something about them not being safe at the gym. But what he said was, a white woman wears hoop earrings to attract black men. I was so flabbergasted by that comment. I called him a weirdo and then he said he was just trying to give me a compliment. He then told me a white woman with a big ass attracts black men. I don't know what to make his comments. Am I the asshole ? submitted by /u/Other-Distance6416 to r/AITAH [link] [comments]

Carolyn Bessette Kennedy’s biggest mistake was getting on that plane. The second was never wearing hoops. submitted by /u/Secure-Bar-2511 to r/rs_x [link] [comments]

I think a good pair of hoops is universally flattering. Little ones are cute and sophisticated. Medium ones can bring out additional balance in your features. Big statement hoops are harder to pull off, but I think they look great providing you wear them confidently and they're not too heavy for your earlobes. Putting on a cute pair of hoops makes even your most boring outfit look more deliberate and put together. I love them. submitted by /u/tasteful-beret to r/rs_x [link] [comments]

I am NOT OOP, OOP is u/Ok-Butterfly-3820, account now suspended Originally posted to r/AITAH AITAH for telling my wife she’s just as racist as her parents Thanks to u/queenlegolas & u/Direct-Caterpillar77 for suggesting this BoRU Trigger Warnings: racism, obsessive behavior Original Post (wayback machine): November 16, 2024 I 53 M am white. My wife of 30 years Naomi is Japanese. We have three kids. This story focuses on my oldest son Kyle 28. When Kyle first got to college he began dating a Japanese girl and when he introduced her to my wife, Naomi loved her. They didn't end up working out. But for the past three years, my son has been seeing Dani, a black girl. My son was in medical school across the country and he ended up meeting Dani because they both were volunteers at a soup kitchen. I remember the first time he sent a picture of her, my wife immediately didn't like her. I'm going to try to phrase this without sounding ignorant myself. But she looks like the urban black girl most think of when African American women. She has the big hoop earrings, the long nails, the long eye lashes. I think she looks stunning, but I've never been in a situation where I was involved in African American culture. Recently my son moved back to our city for residency and Dani moved with him and started law school. They were staying in a Air bnb, while looking for a place and this week they finally found one. So they invited us over for dinner. Dani cooked soul food and this stuff was amazing. I complemented her food and my wife gave me the side eye. Naomi then pulled out her phone and asked Dani why does she dress like that and why was she twerking in public. Kyle asked his mom what her problem was, I then took the phone to scroll through Dani's instagram. And while she did have some videos of her having fun, she also had plenty of pictures of her a academic achievements. Before Dani could answer I told my wife Dani is young and having fun. I asked did she see that Dani graduated Cum laude or all the times she volunteered. My wife looked angry that I would bring that up. Naomi then said that she thinks that Dani isn't good enough for our son. Dani then asked why Naomi loved Kyle's ex so much. She didn't graduate with honors, she has many different boys that she posted on social media. Dani then said it's evident the reason Naomi doesn't like her is because of her race. Naomi doubled down and said so what. I've never heard Kyle even disrespect his mother but he told her to get the fuck out. Naomi left crying. In the car on the ride home I asked her what was her problem. She asked why didn't I defend her. I said because she was being a racist and a hypocrite and she's acting just like her parents. Her parents didn't like me because I was white. She just said it's different and was just silent on the way home. And when we got to the house she locked herself in the room and started crying. I can't feel bad for her because if someone disrespected my wife the way she disrespected Dani I would have absolutely did the same exact thing Kyle did. But Aita because I was also harsh towards her in this situation. AITAH has no consensus bot, OOP was NTA with a few others Relevant Comments Commenter 1: NTA. Not to pry, but you’ve obviously been with your wife for 20+ years. How is it possible that you didn’t know she’s virulently racist until now? OOP: There was never a situation where we were directly involved with African Americans. She’s never displayed this type of behavior Commenter 2: YTA… you’re wife is TA too (to Dani and Kyle) but you’re the AH to her because you could support and understand her; people are allowed to have preconceived notions and preferences. So while it is the way she feels/thinks and can’t help it and you could be kinder and understand her or at least talk it out, she should never be mean to Dani. Meaning Dani and Kyle have a valid reason to be angry with her but not you. People should be allowed to feel how they feel with their spouse- politically correct or not. If you disagree, you should still accept her. OOP: Racism is not a preference. And it’s not even about her it’s about my son. Supporting racism is never something I’ll do. That’s not why I asked this. I’m never going to be sympathetic towards her. I asked if was too harsh, not if I was wrong. This is a horrible mentality, and at the end of the day my wife is apparently racist. I’m not about to try and understand that. That’s crazy. Could I have been kinder, absolutely. Could I understand where she’s coming from. Absolutely not, especially given our situation. Commenter 3: NTA. I'm glad your son told your wife to GTFO because she was being horrid. I would give her some time to reflect and then have a calm, serious talk with your wife. They've been together for 3 years, and this girl is in law school, and they met volunteering. She's clearly bright and career driven. But ALL of that aside - does she not trust your son to pick a decent person as a partner? I would remind her how her parents treated you and how it probably drove the 2 of you away. Ask her if she wants the same to happen here. I hope she recognizes her behaviors and decides to change them. Commenter 4: NTA. You stood up for your son and for Dani. You did the right thing.   Editor’s note: the update post text was saved before it was removed Update: November 17, 2024 So I want to mention a couple things, first off I've been around black people. They were never part of my inner circle until Dani came along. Also I think it is stupid that twerking has a negative connotation. It's just dancing and the video that my wife found Dani was at a nightclub. She wasn't at church dancing that way. My daughter, Ari and her mom are very close. So I asked her to breakfast today and we talked. I just asked her if she knew her mom to be racist. She asked why and I told her about the incident with Dani. Ari told me everything makes sense now. She said it was subtle but when she was in high school, she lost a chess match to a Hispanic boy and Naomi said he must've cheated. But during another round when she lost to a white girl, her mom just said she was really good. She listed a few other incidents but it was hard to see Ari come to the realization her mom is not who she thought she was. Ari then explain how this is bad because Kyle told her how he was about to propose soon. I guess Ari talked to her before I could because my wife asked how can I bring the kids into argument. I said this argument is about their brother. Our kids are very close so they were going to find out eventually. I said since she's done crying does she want to explain what last night is about. She said it's not the serious. I thought how if my son and Dani got married and had kids I wouldn't be involved if I chose to stay with Naomi and that's not a chance I was willing to take. So I packed my bag and told Naomi if she's not even willing to talk to me, I can't stay in this relationship. She said stop before I left out the door and started crying again. She admitted to having racist tendencies. She also admitted that she's jealous of Dani. She said she was supposed to succeed like her and be smart like her. She said it's not fair. I said it was fair. Growing up my wife was not poor or had it hard by any means. She had access to tutors, the best schools. I said that's a sad and pathetic excuse. She then said she was losing both of us to Dani. I asked how, she talked about how I complemented Dani's cooking, but don't like Japanese food. I explained how I'm just not a fan of Japanese food but I was eat it when she makes it. But it can't be about the food because she already had a problem before we got there. I told her I'm leaving. And that until she changes her ways or get help. I'm not coming back. And I'm getting a divorce if she doesn't apologize to Dani and mean it. I've just been driving around since that conversation and I'm hurt that the love of my life is not who I thought she was. Top Comments Commenter 1: She doesn’t even see what she did wrong SMH. She’s going to lose her son because she can’t see past skin color. And apparently this has been going on for a long time Commenter 2: She’s still blaming Dani. She’s still refusing to reflect and take responsibility for her actions. Her own kids are not on her side. She’s still an asshole. Commenter 3: Your wife is clearly all about the excuses & woe is me attitude instead of just facing her judgmental and racist tendencies she has. You’ve done everything you can….its totally on her now to sort her issues out…if she doesn’t and is willing to loose you and her son then it’s on her shoulders   DO NOT COMMENT IN LINKED POSTS OR MESSAGE OOPs – BoRU Rule #7 THIS IS A REPOST SUB - I AM NOT OOP submitted by /u/Choice_Evidence1983 to r/BestofRedditorUpdates [link] [comments]

If I see one more chocolate, mocha, caramel in a character description I'm going to scream. Like at this point if you're doing it it has to be on purpose. It annoys me because we'll get character descriptions like: "The detective was a portly fellow. His face was marked with pot marks that betrayed his age that his jet black toupee was trying to hide. He rubbed the stubble on his face as he looked over the cold case." "As I scanned the classroom I saw numerous kids at various levels of interest. Jen was one of the kids who was at level zero. Head down and covered by her brunette hair. Her skinny frame looked as if it was getting swallowed by the oversized desk. I went to wake her up." "Jackson was a man that took care of his body. He worked out twice a day. He had clear smooth skin that a blemish wouldn't dare to sabotage. His only flaw was that he was balding. After growing out his beard he made the big decision to cut all of the hair on his head off." However, when it comes to characters of African descent, the language often shifts: "Ebony was a mocha chocolate queen. Her caramel and cream complexion would have stopped any person in their tracks. Her gold hoop earrings swayed like her hips as she walked towards me." Like BRUHHHHHH This style of description feels starkly different. It's as if these terms are explicitly pointing out that a character is Black, often in a way that feels clichéd and potentially fetishizing. The first three examples don't mention race. They could technically be anyone. But when they do that, they also explicitly say when someone is black like in the last example. And when someone is white they rarely ever explicitly say. It's just assumed white is the default and everything has to be explained or addressed. Personally, I would be fine with literally any description that doesn't have a historical connotation of dehumanizing and fetishizing black people. Disclaimer this is highly based on the story. So the historical fiction set in Japan or fantasy set in Narnia won't really apply here for obvious reasons. Sorry for the vent. It's just dehumanizing, and fetishizing. And like I get it you've read books they described a white person as having milky creamy or peachy skin. It's not the same. My point was never that there's no descriptions of white people ever. If you're replying descriptions of white people as a "gotcha" you've missed the point. Before we go any further, It's important to clarify that I'm not just a young person stirring the pot; I'm a Black man deeply invested in this discussion. The use of food-related terms to describe Black people isn't a mere cliché, but something that bears a significant historical and cultural weight, which is often overlooked. Moreover, there's always mention of how white characters sometimes receive similar treatment with descriptors like "milky" or "alabaster." While it's true that these terms are used, they don't carry the same dehumanizing and fetishizing connotations as those often employed for Black characters. This difference is crucial and speaks volumes about the disparities in representation. For example, the conversations around dating apps that have been happening for more than a decade have been particularly enlightening. Many Black women share experiences of being objectified, often referred to as "chocolate" on these platforms. This speaks to a broader societal issue where certain terms, meant to describe, end up reducing a person to a mere object or a stereotype. This leads to my main point about consistency in describing skin tones in literature. If you're going to describe someone's skin color, it should be done for all characters, regardless of race. And in doing so, choosing terms that don't have a history of dehumanizing or fetishizing people is essential. This isn't a new observation. The use of food-related descriptors for skin tone, particularly in Black communities, has been discussed widely and has historical connotations that can be dehumanizing and sexualizing. For those interested in more context or alternative ways to describe skin tone, here are some resources: Writing With Color on Tumblr Discussion on JSTOR Reddit Thread on the Topic Naomi Campbell's Reaction to Cadbury Ad NYU News Article "The Delectable Negro: Human Consumption and Homoeroticism within U.S. Slave Culture" is another insightful resource on this topic. these links explain better ways to do it, why "chocolate" and "mocha" are problematic. But since I was asked, if you are wanting to see examples of how I'd be describe dark skin look below "In the hushed ambiance of the library, Naomi's presence was as captivating as the stories around her. Her skin, a deep onyx, absorbed the room's soft light, giving her an almost ethereal glow as she delved into the pages of a well-worn novel." "Derek's laughter was the melody of the evening, his skin a vibrant shade of umber that seemed to dance with each chuckle. The light reflecting off of him made his dark skin look like shade of blue. As he recounted tales to his captivated audience, his animated expressions painted the room with the vivacity of his spirit." "Aisha sat, a picture of tranquility, by the sunlit window. Her skin, the same shade of clay as from her native Georgia, complemented the lush greenery outside. Lost in her thoughts, she didn't notice she was being watched." If you do not like or don't und one of my personal examples that's totally okay. There's links with dozens of better ways to do it. Georgia red clay is a reference alot of you didn't get. And that's okay. If you don't like onyx or the reddish brown clay please use any other examples. These aren't meant to be the end all be all. They are only quick examples I made up because someone asked me. TL;DR: Reflecting on character descriptions in literature, I've noticed an inconsistent and often clichéd approach to describing Black characters, frequently using terms like "chocolate" and "mocha." This not only feels out of place compared to the more nuanced descriptions of other characters, but also carries historical and cultural baggage. Edit:my comments are being mass down voted.

If you'd rather have an author who describes people of all colors the best I've ever seen read nk jemisin. https://www.tumblr.com/writingwithcolor/96830966357/words-for-skin-tone-how-to-describe-skin-color?source=share People asked for more context of this being an issue so here's more links. I'm trying to reply to folks but many aren't seeing them. https://www.jstor.org/stable/25070063 https://www.reddit.com/r/dating_advice/comments/kxb8wb/as_a_black_woman_i_absolutely_hate_being_called/ https://gothamist.com/food/naomi-campbell-not-happy-that-cadbury-called-her-chocolate https://nyunews.com/2018/09/23/09-24-ops-porcher/ This chocolate thing isn't something I'm making up. It's a relatively common complaint into black spaces. The book "The Delectable Negro: Human Consumption and Homoeroticism within U.S. Slave Culture" also touches on this! If you're not understanding the history, context or just not getting how calling a black person chocolate and a white person milk are different and how it's definitely fetishizing, dehumanizing and sexual, read this book! Edit: there's seems to be this assumption that I'm young and some kinda Twitter/tumblr sjw who is only looking to be outraged and this isn't isn't a real thing that happens and if it is it's not that bad. And if it's that bad there's more important things we can be talking about. Also there's a sweeping assumption that I'm a woman because my comments were seen as emotional and frustrated and because no man cares about you this shit. I'm a dude. I'm black. It's just a topic I care about. Calling black people chocolate is fetishizing and has so much historical context behind it it's jarring. It's also cliché. So much so it's a old topic. I seriously didn't think I'd have to prove this common thing exists. Yes white people sometimes get described as milky, alabaster or the other terms in comments. No it's not the same thing as describing black people as chocolate. It's dehumanizing and fetishizing. Ask any black woman who is on dating apps how many times she's called chocolate by white men and then ask her if she likes it. TLDR: if you're going to describe skin color, describe everyone's skin color not just anyone not white. If you're describing black people don't use chocolate or mocha etc because they are fetishizing and dehumanizing. Have empathy, just bec you personally don't care about this subject doesn't mean it's not important. For all the people telling me I'm a coward or a bitch for not replying to (insert comment here) and that I'm a troll for not replying. I did reply. Every chance I get I'm replying to over 1000 comments. All my comments are down voted to hell. I ain't mad, it's the price of doing business on reddit. But I promise you I replied. Most people casually browsing can't see it because all my replies are going to the literal bottom of each thread. submitted by /u/IJustType to r/books [link] [comments]
