You’re a patron to the fruit guy on YouTube?

fuck. yeah ok theres this dude who just, eats different fruits from all over the world and tells you what they taste like and if youre a patreon subscriber he sends you souvenirs from his journeys where he travels to eat fruits. he sent me salt from iceland once. all his video titles are formatted like typical clickbait except specifically about fruits which i think is really funny and when i remember he exists i go through all of his new videos at once for hours

his name is jared and he looks like this

westerners talk about ilya as if it's impossible for a queer person to still love and care about their homeland while making practical decisions and distance for relationship safety. i know this may come as a shock but there are gay people in legally homophobic countries and we're not all frothing at the mouth to escape to the accepting liberated west. there's a balance between dealing seriously with state-sanctioned homophobia and the harm it causes queer nationals VS promoting pink/rainbow-washing rhetoric that's severely exaggerated in order to justify imperial violence against the west's enemies.

i hesitate to overstep bc i'm not russian, but i have seen countless posts by queer russians addressing this very problem and how so much of the fandom rhetoric around being queer in russia (let alone in moscow) is two steps away from Canada Must Invade Russia To Liberate the Gays, yet this only gets worse! as someone from the third world who can simultaneously love my country and people while despising its state-sanctioned homophobia and the knowledge that being queer there fucking sucks -- wayyyy more than it'd suck in russia! -- it makes me so fucking sick how easily westerners and ESPECIALLY white people on here talk about queerness in the global south like a NED america pamphlet. after seeing how transparent and pervasive rainbow/pinkwashing is in justifying western imperial violence and genocide with the "only country in the m.e to have a pride parade" bullshit, how do yall not consider the broader implications of your words? russia is not the only country with homophobic laws. the things you're saying are not said in isolation. you are manufacturing consent.

I feel like the original Chinese ending is even funnier than the translation implies. My inexpert tweaks:

“Heterosexuality really is the most fragile type of sexual orientation in the world, in human history electric shock, detention, family coercion, campus and workplace bullying all were unable to change homosexuality to heterosexuality, but heterosexuals need only get a glimpse of homosexual information and movies and they can turn into homosexual”

someone in the UK threw eggs at Charles and was arrested and has been banned from openly carrying eggs in public and has since been sent death threats but their statement on the matter was so fucking good

[0jamajos]

also let's take a moment to appreciate the picture of this man being arrested

"So my bail conditions were, between my arrest and my trial, were that I wasn't allowed to carry eggs in public." host laughs "Yeah, I know, and so that is in itself like so absurd that it's like right" Host: "I gotta know, is there like a provision for if you're going home from the store? Or are you just, are you just egg-less?" "So the copper who was literally just like making this up at the station says like 'Ok, so your bail condition is: you're not allowed within 500 meters of the king; you're not allowed to carry eggs in public' and then he goes like 'ah actually, like, what 'appens if he wants to buy some eggs?' Ok, so they changed it so it's like, 'You're allowed to carry eggs as long as you're going home from the shops and you've got the receipt" host laughs "And I think, that was more viral than me actually doing it, you know what I mean like, people were like, that's Britain for you, have you got a license for those eggs"

If Pratchett were alive, he'd make a thing about Troll boba tea, which would literally contain marbles, getting really big, and all of the dwarves being too embarrassed to admit they like it

[leeshajoy]

They'd also have kiki tea with pointy crystals in.
