身為台灣福佬，我對深綠有一個臍帶的情感，所以忍不住就會看鄭的節目， 但是我實在沒辦法忍耐他們對川皇的癡迷
As #Taiwanese Hoklo I have a umbilical connection to the Deep Green ideology so I cannot help to watch Zheng's programm, but I really cannot bear their obsession with Trump

@skinnylatte as soon as you posted this, my instinct tells me #Taiwanese soldiers are involved Sook-Ching, as I had many relations at my grandparents generation who went to 南洋 .
yes, the sad sad brutality of imperial power is to drive people even the subjugated to commit atrocity 
as shameful as I am feeling, let's learn from this.

"The number of #Taiwanese visitors to Japan in 2023 was 4.2 million, the second highest overall."

Good morning to readers, Kyiv remains in Ukrainian hands.
#Russia still continues to receive modern #Taiwanese chips to manufacture its deadly weapons.
We visited a forensic lab to find out how chips from Ukraine’s allies are found inside #Russian weapons.

I'm a #PhD candidate in #Linguistics researching Taiwanese (臺灣本土語言) language vitality and revitalisation. Currently focusing on #Tâigí ( #台語 #台語文 ), Taiwan literature creation, and language ideology.
I speak a few #languages (listed in my profile), and trying to relearn my personal #HeritageLanguage (s) which I lost as I grew up.
Would love to connect with others who are involved with similar interests.
