New video! It's about the etymology of the word "bikini" (yes, it has to do with nuclear bombs) www.youtube.com/watch?v=IEoX...

The etymology of "bikini" is actually insane

vagueposting in toki pona is so easy bc anything could mean anything. all you need to do is not mention relevant context and the reader is none the wiser. i used to do it all the time back when i was a chronic vagueposter.

I hate being traumatized by something so lame and pathetic like are you kidding me? THAT is what is causing disabling flashbacks and dissociation?? HOW? oh it was because I was traumatized while on psychedelics oh that makes sense

I'm not mad at her, I don't even know her lol. she just started harassing me out of the blue one day.

it's also a bit odd when she (1) has me blocked, and (2) has been harassing me online for over a year lol. I wish she would leave me alone!

ok apparently I was mixing up multiple different voice actors of abusive mothers and thought they were all the same oops

lipamanka from toki pona @lipamanka.gay · 22/09/2026
I wonder how Katey Sagal feels about like, only voice acting for abusive mothers. must be fun. wish that was me.

I don't mean to nerd out over your objectively really cool idea, this is just the part of linguistics I study lol

This is really cute for doggirls, but for dogs who are biologically canis familiaris, toki pona buttons would be too vague. non-therian dogs struggle to comprehend concepts as large as the ones for toki pona words, and therefore would probably adapt them to have more specific meanings.

the first time I watched bojack horseman, I was rooting for bojack. but the second time, I actively laughed when things went bad for him. piece of shit. amazing show. what a good character, and what a terrible person.

it's not useful to say that successful theories aren't real

lipamanka from toki pona @lipamanka.gay · 21/09/2026
or makes you avoid saying it

yeah english and toki pona solve the same problem just as effectively with different methods

lipamanka from toki pona @lipamanka.gay · 17/09/2026
yeah that is interesting!

lipamanka from toki pona @lipamanka.gay · 17/09/2026
yeah nah that's just something she does because she's been around for longer

i'm pretty sure this is not AI. it's still a deeply strange page that subtweets me and some of my friends multiple times, but not AI.

toki pona update, according to linku's new word usage survey, the usage of the toki pona word "pu" went down from 94% to 56%, which is insane. it went down two full categories. I think that's pretty interesting! Read the analysis for more info: github.com/lipu-linku/i...

calling a spade a ladle isn't a problem in english either. not practically. people usually us the right words to talk about things.

lipamanka from toki pona @lipamanka.gay · 14/09/2026
toki pona isn't a tool to help with this. toki pona only works when its speakers put in additional effort, and they can really do that with any language. I don't think toki pona's gimmick leads to any significant benefits.
110
lipamanka from toki pona @lipamanka.gay · 14/09/2026
toki pona does a bad job of resolving this issue. it's a lot of cognitive effort to describe what a "bad friend" is, so most speakers are likely to avoid having to do that by using a lexicalized phrase like "jan pona" to describe everyone.
110
lipamanka from toki pona @lipamanka.gay · 14/09/2026
yeah exactly. "there's this asshole..." is much better
000
lipamanka from toki pona @lipamanka.gay · 14/09/2026
I need to stop starting with "I have this friend who" and then explain a pattern of behavior that proves that they are not my friend. I should say "I know someone who" and then finish the thing. right?

hmmmmm so you're saying that I don't have flaws? the only things I don't think it's reasonable to dislike are the things for which there are no reasonable reasons to dislike, and there are reasonable reasons to dislike me in reasoned fashion innit
010
lipamanka from toki pona @lipamanka.gay · 06/09/2026
or maybe people dislike me and want to avoid me have you considered that

lipamanka from toki pona @lipamanka.gay · 06/09/2026
that can't be right..

that's unfortunate, I hope you can find other places to talk about sex in toki pona! I hear it's fun! (I do not enjoy talking about sex in any language so I don't know from experience.)
