EDIT: Reading the comments, I see the need to redo the post. Version 2.0

Name The OSW Users You Most Respect
Who can you recommend as someone you think should be listened to and taken seriously? In other words, who has earned your respect? Try to think of not only those friends who share your views on things, but also those people who do not. (But please! Don't say which person is which, because Yikes!)

*The topic here is respect. The tone of all comments should, of course, be respectful as well. I'm not asking for the general opinions of the relative merits of those named. If you agree or disagree with someone's choice, please keep your opinion private. Thanks for respecting the guidelines.

*I wish it weren't necessary to say, but nobody needs to know, and likely doesn't care, that you don't like the post. Please, just move on. I'll respect you all the more for it. Thanks!

*Just to be clear, this is not a popularity contest. We are not voting people up or down. You might agree or disagree with the choice others make. Feel as great as you like about how your judgement is better than anyone's, but, really, we don't need to know.

I'm working on a project and looking for people to work with on it. But I think this exercise could be helpful to the OSW community at large in some way.

Thanks in advance for your participation.

You Can't Have A Poll Without Being Political
My Pol. Sci. professor said "politics happen whenever two people get together". That makes avoiding politics difficult. However, politics is more generally associated with making decisions in a group. And because of their role in elections and government decision-making, polls are a major part of the political landscape. An election itself is a poll (the only important one say some). Before and after elections, polls are a critical tool for gauging the "will of the people" beyond what simple election results can show. Polls are, by their nature, political.

A poll on OSW says that the will of the people here is that this is not a place for politics. But if you don't want politics on OSW, you lose just by voting.

Not that it matters. Polling results in OWS are not enforceable and will not stop political posts. Want to do something effective? Block people.

Everyone else is invited to an extended stay in the BDSM by MAGA region, where the beatings will continue until the complaining stops.

Okay, so maybe you WON’T see Titanic here... or E.T., or Top Gun: Maverick. In fact, you won’t see ANYTHING the Motion Picture Academy has ever even HEARD of!

But we’ve got a selection of HOT videos at the Bare Essentials Theater that are guaranteed to "float your boat".

Come for the movies, stay for the atmosphere!

Someone commented on my last post that they had some of my mesh having issues with resizing. I want to always let people know...if you have an issue with the mesh, let me know. In the meantime, I have learned techniques (not mysteries for mesh creators, but I am new at it and slow) that prevent collapse and resizing texture issues. However, those things are always dependent on the piece, the original image that was used, and the texture itself. One of the reasons I include the textures with the pieces under contents is so that people can sharpen them, change the shading, etc. I don't always sharpen my textures. Some of the original images I used are done in styles like impressionistic painters. This make them look differently, but they are consistent upon resizing. I made a little webpage demonstrating some of this, for those that are interested. https://sites.google.com/dynamiclearning.solutions/meshing...

Vegan Plant Based Ulster Fry:)

With tofu scramble, a plant based sausage patty and tempeh bacon instead of the meats.

Hey everybody! I had the time to make some new mesh Holiday decorations for you. You will find them at the arrival point for the mall and they are free and full perm. The only thing you can't do is re-texture them because they're textured when they are made in Meshy. But they are beautiful and seasonal so get yours soon, after the holiday they will be moved to our Holidays & Seasons area where you can also find a lot of great items to decorate for the holidays. Blessings and much love, Lavia!

April Group Gift at Samsara – Updated Meditation Orbital

Created by Yana Dakota

For April’s monthly group gift, the meditation orbital has been updated with a refined particle script.

The effect is now much more subtle, allowing you to see your avatar clearly while meditating, without losing the soft indigo‑gold aura that makes the piece special.

It’s lighter, more transparent, and feels closer to an energy field than a particle cloud, perfect for quiet moments, rituals, or simply relaxing on Your own place.
Available now at the Samsara.

Enjoy the new flow.
Yana Dakota

It's the International Day of the Seal -raising awareness about conservation and preserving habitats for these glorious animal friends. This is the Bagel Seal - probably the best find on Sketchfab to date by a creator named Jerry Bot. And thank you to Cherry Manga for advising me when I had issues with this upload and leading the path to success. I couldn't take his bagels away. He's worked so hard to balance the full dozen. The Bagel Seal can bring joy to your region too. He's at the back door of the Sunflower Bakery & Cafe by the fishing docks doing tricks for Serhiy.

Today is a great day for a little Odyssey. "When light bounces off of something and is reflected back into a human’s eyes, we perceive color. For millennia, color has been one of the elements of art that artists use to render the world as they see it." When you view the colors the Mind Odyssey artists display, such as Nyx Breen, you will see a dance of color and movement. Make sure you take the time to spend here and appreciate the artists of OpenSim.
