Might as well do a little community thing:
How would y'all describe these 5 colors in your #conlang?
In Soc'ul' the left two are "miúx", the right two are "cur", and the middle varies but more often "cur" (see comment for more detail)

“you can be disappeared”
this is actually happening to people irl in this country, getting a temporary suspension from Bluesky is not the same thing. grow up

BlueSky is a bad site used by good people. That describes most social media sites. But BlueSky is egregiously unethical. Any of you can be disappeared for baseless reasons. I've been on social media for 17 years and never been suspended. BlueSky is the first place to do so – over Johnny Cash lyrics.

Trying my best to not giggle at Cloaca Maxima; genuinely neat bit of architecture but reminds me of the great Emperor Pupienus
It’s so funny how the ONE thing that was actually pretty cool about the Roman Empire - their public works projects like the aqueducts and cloaca maxima- is also something the marble statue crowd has zero interest in, and consistently, vitriolically oppose in the present.

#ConlangNovember 13: Most FS derivation takes the form of juxtaposed compounds or forming new individual signs out of components of others, but so far there are three bound derivational morphemes for agent nouns, action/object nouns, and names of source plants (acorn > oak etc.). See links in reply
#ConlangNovember 13: Let's talk morphology. How does your language combine words, roots and affixes to form new words with a more complex meaning? Talk about how it forms compounds, introduce some derivational affixes or show us inflection tables!

Pizzagate: If you replace the word “hot dog” with “little boy” and “pizza party” with “child sex orgy,” you will see the lengths these elites go to cover up their crimes.
Real elite emails: Send me nude pictures of those 8th graders we abused last weekend post-haste! I am the Ambassador to Turkey.

#ConlangNovember 12: Frangian Sign like other langs of NE Frangia contrasts a good number of tenses (in FS's case remote past, recent/general past, hesternal, present, crastinal, general future); but the form signed for remote past tense can also be exaggerated for more distance
#ConlangNovember 12: How does your language conceive of time? What tenses and aspects does your language distinguish?
