мне нравятся люди, которым не надо объяснять мои шутки
Ok pls I need someone to decipher this Russian message to English it’s important
у меня есть букэтик теперь, купила таки, два дня шла)
If you're learning the language, I think these might help you get more familiar with not only reading and spelling, but with how Russians actually communicate. And these pages are pretty cool too, so you can just check them out even if learning the language isn't the main goal.
1. покажи нам кусочек своей жизни/show us a piece of your life
A rather cool page where people share random pictures from their phones with a bit of info about themselves. Every post has its own aesthetic but more importantly, these posts feel very real and authentic. Here's what some of these posts look like.
"I'm majoring in geo in Moscow, sing in choir, and right now I'm writing my thesis a bit worried about my future. But I'll be fine. Kindness to all"
"the life of a physics teacher 💫"
2. пушистые морды/fluffy faces
Another page that accepts post suggestions. Here you can share your adorable pet (it's mostly cats).
"his name is Oleg"
3. мам ну не читай/mom don't read it
Did you have a diary when you were a kid? I cringe every time I read my old diaries. But this page collects all the weird diary entries and posts them. Not sure where they take them from, but they're all pretty hilarious.
"the door to the future"
"the page of positivity"
I'll be back with a part two!
When you fall, stars make a wish
Useful expression: Загадать желание - to make a wish

Here is a pun for you.
- I want a house on wheels.
- But we already have a home on wheels/pills. Half the apartment is on antidepressants.
(Explanation: Колёса means wheels, but it is also a slang word for recreational or pharmaceutical drugs, pills. )

I explain how verbal prefixes play with meaning—sometimes even creating words out of nothing. Curious? Check out this deep dive into Russian linguistics, inspired by Maxim Krongauz’s book on the subject. And yes, you’re going to encounter some “strong language,” you are warned!
— я хочу уйти от своих костей и положить их на стол, как ключи после работы. пусть моя кожа утонет в кресле и потеряет форму. потеряет очертания
мне говорили: это всё у тебя в голове. вы правда думаете, что я хочу так себя чувствовать?
