I just realised I never really introduced myself, so here's a thread about me!

(warning, narcissism incoming)
I know people like to say that complex topics can be expressed in tokipona, but has anyone ever tested that?

Like, have a person learn a complex topic described only in tokipona, then have them talk to an expert in that topic to see if they actually understood it.

My newest video is literally called 'The Meaning of life teir list'

Because the transcendent must be translated through the lens of the cringe & profain.

the toki pona translation of genesis 38 is now proofread by a hebrew proofreader and is almost done being proofread by a toki pona proofreader. once it's done, it will be the second chapter in genesis to have a double peer-reviewed translation in toki pona!

Without the right checking the left, the left is allowed to just say random bullshit.

Your worst self thrives in secrecy
So starve it of what it craves
Remove the word oversharing from your vocabulary
Drown it in truth before it drowns you
Forgive yourself when the light catches a crack. that's why you shone it

Morral self cultivation is an act of gardening: not arcatecture

I kinda dislike how new atheism was framed as somehow being too aggressive to religions.

Protestants believe that atheists deserve to be on fire forever, but Dawkins went too far for calling them dumb?

The market has spoken. I am now a full-time tokipona Thirst Trap account.

I don't get when people say, "Being gay isn't a personality trait."

Yes, it can be?

It's a community with its own rituals, values, and shibboleths. If you engage with that, how is that not a personality trait?

Day 12 of #tokipona

I have experience running minecraft servers.

If I ran a 14 day #tokipona taso roleplay civilisation experiment, would people be interested?

Day 11 of #tokipona

I've watched 10 out of 30 of Jan Telakoman's comprehensible input series. Will have it finished in a few days, then hopefull I'll be good enough to understand ppl in discord.

From there, I just gotta improve my own speaking and I'll..

..be fluent in tokipona.

19 days to go!

In just 10 days I've made it further with tokipona than I did with japanese in a year or french in 5 years.

with this knowledge I'm kinda tempted to go and learn a standard language.

I kinda feel an obligation to finish this project and get conversationally fluent in TP first tho.

Day 10 of learning #tokipona

I just had a breakthrough.

I've been watching comp input videos and until now I've been mentally translating each word to keep up.

but I was watching this video and half way through, I heard this sentence and knew what it meant..
January 18, 2025 at 10:34 PM
First ever video of me attempting to speak #tokipona after 9 days of learning.

How'd I do? :)

Day 9 of #tokipona

I am THIS CLOSE to fully completing the vocab!

spending 30+ every day on comp input too. I am confident I will succeed in this challenge
January 17, 2025 at 4:36 PM
plans with tokipona going forward.

they say that learning tokipona is a good gateway to other languages and I'm really feeling that.

highly considering learning esparanto after this 30 day challenge is done! would be fun to spend a summer couch surfing with pasporta servo
