Avoiding wuwoji is fine but ti can be annoying. I usually find /te/ to be the closest valid syllable but it seems most people go with /si/ for some reason?
Changing what would be a /ti/ in my surname to a /te/ does have the effect of making all the vowels in my full name just alternate between /e/ and /a/ which sounds fun so maybe I'm biased, though I don't think I would ever use my middle name and surname while speaking toki pona.
Looking at PHOIBLE I do understand why a non-sibilant fricative wasn't included, though I suspect most languages have at least one of /h/ or /f/, which to my ears sound way closer to each other than either does to /s/
Was thinking about how I would tokiponise some names and the conclusion I've come to is that fitting things into the phonotactics is pretty easy, but that the lack of a non-sibilant fricative is really annoying.

I Sexually Identify as an Attack Helicopter was one of the best works of sci-fi of our generation and one of the best works of transgender fiction ever written, and there are world renowned authors who still have successful careers after they publicly assassinated the nascent woman who wrote it. I don't think they should ever know peace.
#o7#someday I'll get round to that project of typesetting a nicer PDF version of Helicopter Story that I wanted to do

the wrench from December back to being in January is always the weirdest part of the new year transition, like what a whole ‘nother twelve months? again? from scratch??

The first simulated image of a black hole was calculated with an IBM 7040 computer using 1960 punch cards and hand-plotted by French astrophysicist Jean-Pierre Luminet in 1978.

#I admittedly do also run into /ti/ a lot and it being a banned syllable makes some things sound weird#/te/ just doesn't have the right vibes sometimes#but it's closer than‚ say‚ [ɬ] is to /s/ or /l/#toki pona

"watching the superbowl for the ads" sounds like something somebody making fun of americans would say and yet it's something people will say with a straight face completely seriously

The main reason you can't do a very good political allegory through the medium of a D&D Actual Play is that it's basically impossible to improvise a good allegory, but the more interesting reason is that if you try to think about the politics of a world in which people have radically different natural adult lifespans for even a minute, it immediately becomes clear that it's nothing like our world.

*it's hard to describe so i recommend searching it. 90% of the time people leave it in the tags of a post about a character they like
#vowel followed by a consonant where the vowel varies between [ʊ] and [əw] while the consonant varies between [x] and [ʍ]#though I'll often read it as a word without a realisation just the letters
