Your conlang uses a single word for “give (someone or something) up”, kast. It also inflects for both subject and object, for example r- is 1st person subject, and i- is 2nd person object. There’s a special verb form, marked by -li that means “will never”.
With that in mind, rikastli, my loyal followers.

NÖRDLINGEN, GERMANY, a meteorite-bounded town in Bavaria
Nordlingen is a town nearly 15 million years in the making. Although it has only been populated in a modern sense for the last 1200 years, the town is neatly centered in the middle of a crater caused by a giant meteor crashing into the Bavarian countryside.

Mistakes are a natural part of being human, and they’re part of growing. 🌱 The most successful people had to make a lot of mistakes before learning what worked for them, so don’t let a mistake stop you!
Are you from Hong Kong? I read all that you've posted about the riots happening there but I'm so confused. Everyone is saying a different story and I don't know what to believe. Can you please describe what happened from square one and why it's happening and your view on it please. I want to have an opinion on this but only after I've fully been educated on this issue.
Yes I’m from Hong Kong and of course everyone is saying different things, as people have so many different opinions on this (as well as many who only know snippets of the situation).
Basically Hong Kong was about to pass an extradition bill which allows China to arrest criminals even if they escape to Hong Kong. However, Hong Kong citizens are scared that China will arrest innocent people for no reason (which in my humble opinion, I highly doubt. I think China’s main goal is to arrest corrupt officials) They began rioting and the government has already stepped back and said the bill is dead. Now, many say that this is “fake” and the “government is lying” but like…even if they really withdrew, they could always bring it back. Saying the bill is dead is already the most they can do, but the riots still will not stop.

Still alive but...
Oh my god I finally got some stable VPN!
I did not intentionally stop posting but the Great Firewall of China was a bit more powerful than I thought...My laptop failed to connect to tumblr so I am typing on my tablet. I really hope that I can continue writing the exchange series asap this weekend.

“Avoid destructive thinking. Improper negative thoughts sink people. A ship can sail around the world many, many times, but just let enough water get into the ship and it will sink. Just so with the human mind. Let enough negative thoughts or improper thoughts get into the human mind and the person sinks just like a ship.”

On Using Slowly
I discovered Slowly back in September after seeing it on the homepage of the app store. I’ve always been fascinated with the concept of penpals and writing letters to people although this would have been a logistical nightmare since my country’s postal service is notorious for their penchant to lose mail.
Slowly is not your typical networking or dating app.
We’re bringing the traditional pen friend experience to your smartphone.
The app is created for those who yearns for meaningful conversations with people in the era of instant messaging. We hope to connect people around the world at a slower but better pace – one letter at a time.
Meet a new pen friend, seal your letter & place a stamp - start connecting with the world on SLOWLY!
Letters actually mimic the amount of time it takes for snail mail to be delivered in the real world. So for example, my letters to Germany take a day to deliver while those to Brazil take two days. Whereas countries nearer to where I am, like Thailand and Taiwan, take only a few hours.
I’m the worst textmate ever since I take forever to answer and this is why I find Slowly so great; it takes away the pressure to reply quickly. I’ve also found my conversations to be more meaningful and since the app matches you with people who share the same interests as you do, you immediately have something in common to talk about.
So this is how my profile on Slowly looks like. As you can see, your profile photo isn’t a picture of yourself, but rather, a cartoon avatar. There are loads to choose from and they even have an option for individuals who identify as non-binary, which is super cool.
Another thing that I really like about Slowly is that you can add as many languages as you want, which is helpful for those looking for language-exchange partners like myself.
Finding penpals is extremely easy on Slowly and you can even use their auto-match option. I’ve used auto-match a couple of times, but I honestly prefer to explore manually.
Since I primarily use Slowly to practice my language skills, I filtered my matches to show me users living in countries where my target language, and any other languages that I’m interested in learning, is spoken.
Slowly lets you save your letters as drafts so there’s no pressure to finish it in a single sitting. I normally take a couple of hours to compose my letters since I try to write in my target language.
I think that feature also makes the experience more meaningful because I actually have time to think about what I want to say and how I’m going to respond. I’ve definitely had more sincere conversations on here as compared to other language-exchange apps like Tandem and HelloTalk.
I mean, no offense to those apps. I also love using them, especially HelloTalk, but I’ve found Slowly to be an avenue where I actually get to hold conversations and learn more about a person, as opposed to simple small talk and correcting each other’s grammar.
You can also add stamps to your letters, which makes the writing part more fun. There are stamps specific to your location and any other new stamps that you receive from your penpals immediately gets added to your collection. There are also limited edition ones like a Christmas tree stamp for Christmas and a Grim Reaper stamp for Halloween. They also recently opened the Stamp Store where you can purchase stamps with cool designs on them, but I’ve never used it since they cost real money and I’m a broke university student.
Slowly lets you have up to a hundred penpals and you can also delete those who are inactive, have deactivated their accounts, or those you aren’t interested in talking to.
Right now, I have about four with whom I’ve been talking to for a few months now. It’s great because I love conversing with them, learning about their experiences, their culture, and what they’ve been doing on a daily basis. I’ve also received lots of book and film recommendations, which is super nice.
It’s been a couple of months since I first started using Slowly, but I still get that feeling of excitement when I see letters arriving or when a letter from my penpal has been delivered. This is definitely one of the best apps that I discovered this year and I highly recommend it, especially to those looking for language-exchange partners or those who are simply interested in learning about different cultures and walks of life!

Sorry flower buds, but the exchange guide will be continued during the next couple of days.
I've been a bit under the weather and need to pack and buy everything for my exchange.
See ya~
