hey can we talk. can we stop it with the white savior pinkwashing queer paternalism that white libs always seems to hold when talking about queer people/gender-nonconforming people from countries where gay rights isn’t a legislated reality (i.e. often developing countries/countries where the majority ethnicity is non-white).

you haven’t been on weibo, you haven’t ever been to China. you haven’t walked the streets of chengdu which is the unofficial queer capital in the country, you don’t know what slangs and jokes we use to talk about queerness.

you read whatever your war crime aiding and abetting news sources spoonfeed you because you never went out of your way to befriend Chinese people in real life, you accept whatever reality is easiest for you to stomach—that Chinese people, well, “the government and the mainstream social media” at least, are ontologically evil and are intolerant to a fault; that Chinese people are so different than you (who are so liberal and tolerant and queer and punk) that these “special few Chinese people who are queer” need YOUR approval and YOUR protection and YOUR help.

I’ve spent a good portion of my life living in China, I have family there. I have queer friends there. My parents had colleagues and friends who are officially or unofficially out at work. I met my first butch-femme lesbian couple in China. I met my first trans man uncle in China. A large part of my middle school friend group turned out to be queer and have found people who they care about and who care and protect them in turn.

I only pity your willfully ignorant way of living. you see Chinese people as a sexless monolith, you see Chinese people in any position of power as a threat to your “democracy” aka violent imperialism disguised under a neoliberal facade. give me a break.

I’m out here buying tshirts and pants like a chump while some people are just wearing the world’s best rectangles

Pre-manufacturing cultures will really be like, here is the most elegant and gorgeous outfit you can imagine, and it’s achieved entirely with rectangles, ropes, and pins.

Over and over again, across the world, in cultures that never even knew of each others’ existences. Just, rectangles, knots, and pins. And I love that for them.

Traditional chinese craftsmanship for architecture and furniture 榫卯 sǔn mǎo 

The mortise and tenon technique does not use glues or nails and creates furniture that is usually very strong and durable. 

This is carpenter Grandpa Amu making a Luban stool out of a whole piece of wood using traditional chinese joinery technique 榫卯 sǔn mǎo.

"Top 10 Pranks That Went Too Far" compilation where #1 is Liu Bang founding the Han Dynasty

hold on i gotta Google something. Okay that's funny

People are asking what this means, so:

Liu Bang was a provincial constable (basically a sheriff) in Classical China who one day was transporting some prisoners who escaped. The penalty for allowing prisoners to escape was death, so my man looked at his prospects and said "welp, in for a penny, in for a pound" and decided to go join up with the dudes who'd been his prisoners 5 minutes ago. This kicked off a chain of events that led to him becoming a bandit chief and eventually a rebel general and ended with him overthrowing the Qin dynasty and becoming Emperor Gaozu of Han.

And you think you had a weird day at work

wearing faguan发冠 for men with traditional chinese hanfu in style of ming dynasty by 曠某 faguan is a type of hanfu headdress that has the appearance of a small headpiece with one or two pins that can be passed across it to hold the hair in a bun. It can also be used to match with various hanfu hats.

The following pictures are some historical faguan made of various materials such as jade, agate and gold.

The nine-tailed fox | Suzhou double-sided embroidery by 杨雪

good time to remember that embroidery is an incredibly intricate artform with a rich and detailed history. because most of its craftspeople were and remain women, it has rarely received the attention given to say, oil painting, despite the fact that throughout history, for the average person embroidery was more visible and present in daily life. the reason this skill was so valued in young women was that future mothers and daughters-in-law could use this artform to add color and beauty and joy to entire lives & households.

seeing it elevated like in the video above is so remarkable. never forget that embroidery is as valuable and stunning as any artform

That’s what I call justice

WHOOP THERE IT IS

There is something monumental that the OP is leaving out.

Most of these “billionaires” that are “stealing” “”“"Chinese”“”“” art, AREN’T doing that. They are doing so on favor of the CCP to steal Tibetan art so it can be destroyed.

There’s been a long standing string of *Tibetan art goes on auction* and some unknown man from China in a suit and glasses out bids the fuck out of everyone else, gets the art, and the art is never seen again.

It’s incredibly frustrating to see “”“”“woke”“”“” Twitter and Tumblr actively shilling for the CCP in their effort to undermine and destroy Tibetan culture and spread news that only further shoves the Tibetan Genocide from the records, especially when I’ve spoken with western Tibetan Culture scholars, and seen all the art and culture that the CCP has had destroyed or has gone missing over the past 50 years.

It’s sick and if you support China “buying” their art back, you’re a POS.

COVID-19 was not “created” by anyone, but the conspiracies that China made it in a lab are funny when you remember that the count of non-consensual biomedical expermiments on US citizens by the Chinese government in history is zero, while the count of non-consensual biomedical experiments on US citizens by the US government is well into the double digits
