Setting up a new yurt for friends to live in during the summer in Inner Mongolia, China. OP has noted in comments that a yurt costs around RMB￥20K.

*Khatas are traditional, ceremonial scarves. Mongolian khatas are usually blue, symbolising the sky.

in place of a period: link two independent but related clauses, without a coordinating conjunction (eg. and, but) → Sara lost her glasses; she needs them to get around.

in place of a comma: when a long sentence has several clauses, a semicolon can help distinguish meaning, including if there is a coordinating conjuction → As Sara attempted to navigate public transport, with her eyes squinted and using her phone camera’s zoom to read the display, she tried to call her optometrist to make an appointment; but his number and office hours had only recently changed, so she had little luck.

in relation with adverbs and short phrases like however, indeed, thus, in that case, as a result, on the other hand, for example, that is → Her friend, Teddy, spotted Sara from across the hallway and tried to get her attention; she, however, didn’t recognize him and kept walking. 

before introductory expressions (for example, that is, namely) → Teddy and Sara agreed that they would go to the museum before the new exhibition ended; that is, if she would be able to see again by that time.

to separate phrases or items in a list that contain commas within themselves or are particularly long → When Sara got home she wrote a to do list for the week: get in touch with her optometrist, Dr. Wallace; maybe ask her mother for some money, considerign the unexpected cost of the glasses; and text Teddy about the museum.

Note: unlike with commas and periods, a semicolon is placed outside of quotation marks → For her 20th birthday, Sara got a shirt reading “2020 vision”; she said it was funny, but has not been seen wearing it since.

how someone sets their boundaries has absolutely nothing to do with censorship.

censorship is when someone tries to control other people what they can or can’t create and consume.

censorship is not about a random person disabling their own comments section for whatever reason. censorship is not about people blocking other people on social media as their way of setting boundaries and curating their internet experience. censorship is not about disrespecting other people’s boundaries and censorship is not about tolerating it when other people disrespect you or your boundaries.
