And news publications can extend beyond information on recent events. Like I said, retrospectives and argumentative pieces are completely okay, and what you're wanting to write is completely fine; mainly because I'm intending on completely rewriting the article guidelines for this because this would probably do a lot better if it wasn't limited to news. All I ask is that, if possible, you find a way to link it to TC&S somehow. Somehow. You don't <span style=\"font-style:italic;\">have</span> to do it, but it'd be great (don't force it if you can't). Also, a way to link it to a recent event would make it <span style=\"font-weight:bold;\">even better</span> (no, really, please do this); an article from a publication that was discussing Toki Pona discussed it in the context of a recent study event that the author was participating in where they learned the language within in a week or two, and offered information <span style=\"font-style:italic;\">in the context of</span> that event. This is all optional, though. Almost anything goes on this website so I feel like the same should be said for this newsfeed.", "user": "hoylecake" }, { "id": "1292360", "time": "1684850006", "html": "theki your avatar is so swag", "user": "bug" }, { "id": "1292368", "time": "1684850481", "html": "Thank you!
