I have just joined the group and would like to say hello! It's nice to have a safe place without hate comments. Very good idea!
Great group, there is no room for hate, anywhere. Love is all there is :D Out and proud here, Lesbian cis older lady. Quite a few people already know me here lol. I'm honestly surprised to see any hate in OS as OS, and online in general has always been very inclusive in my experience. So its good to see everyone coming together here to say NO to that sort of nonsense.
Hi! I found the group it yesterday, I'm a trans woman (I transitioned in 2017) and thanks for accept me ^^
Yay, now the group works for me, thank you very much for including me in the group. :-)
A rich life should be one based on inclusion. Happy to join this group and claim my region as a supporter of it.
I'm happy to be in the group with you. :-)

I am committed to being an ally. Hugs and support to all! I will likely lurk and listen more than speak. That is how I learn.
Hi everyone,
I was appalled by some of the comments in the box today. It is nice to have this safe spot to offer support to each other.
In the early days of the Gay Pride movement, as it was called then, I heard a man ask, "What do the gays do that they are so proud of?" He was suggesting that what defined gay people was simply their sexual behavior, and that behavior was unnatural and repulsive. Yet studies have found that 82.2% of women and 82.7% of men have had oral sex with an opposite-sex partner. And 35.1% of women and 38.1% of men have had anal sex with an opposite-sex partner. That guy, and people like him, need to be hating on a whole lot more people it seems.
But I didn't tell him that. What I said was that "Gay people are proud of surviving, and continuing to strive to be with those they love, despite the vile hatred of people like you." There have been 55 years of Pride Parades, and almost 10 years of nationwide legal same-sex marriage in the U.S.. But the struggle is not yet over -- in the world or in-world. So, thanks for being part of the Love Is Love Alliance.

Bad Event Idea- Voice chat party during a scheduled set with a live Dj or musician!
Fun! Make the DJ feel as important as background noise by loudly talking on local chat to each other- especially when the DJ is making announcements This is guaranteed to make the DJ feel annoyed at best, and your guests with social skills will surely cringe and likely forget to send you an invite to the next party. Hardy har har har.

Do you know anyone who suffers from this common hypergrid misconception ?

Hello Everyone! Nice to meet everyone! I'm a performer here on the hypergrid and in SL. In my RL, I'm an out loud and proud femme lesbian cis-woman, who is legally married to my butch wife. Thank you for this group! I look forward to participating.

Hello friends and fans of Stark Islands!
We are glad to tell you after 9 months of absence that we are back and will be releasing a new and optimized version of Stark Islands in the near future!
We have had some time to think through the concept and the technical foundation. The huge (server-)workload of Stark Islands was one of the biggest issues we had to fight with in the past. To offer you a better experience, we've made some important changes and are working on other important details. New Stark is the same size as before (though it may expand in time) but split in 4 different regions on different servers to reduce the workload per server.
The region will have a new footprint, based on the old main island, and the best of old Stark you will find in the new version too. We reduce prims, meshes and scripts as much as possible without changing the soul of Stark Islands. This all means a lot of work and we will need some time, though as you all know, a sim will never be finished.
When we think, the sim is in an acceptable state, we will open the gates!
We're thrilled to bring you this announcement today and hope you're as excited as we are, so stay tuned for further updates!
Wishing you a happy Easter 2022!
With love, pride and respect and all the values that make Stark great.
Mathilda and Niki

Hallo Freunde und Fans von Stark Islands!
Wir freuen uns, euch nach 9 Monaten Abwesenheit mitteilen zu können, dass wir zurück sind und in naher Zukunft eine neue und optimierte Version von Stark Islands veröffentlichen werden!
Wir hatten Zeit, um das Konzept und die technischen Grundlagen zu überdenken. Die enorme (Server-)Arbeitsbelastung von Stark Islands war eines der größten Probleme, mit denen wir in der Vergangenheit zu kämpfen hatten. Um euch ein besseres Erlebnis zu bieten, haben wir einige wichtige Änderungen vorgenommen und arbeiten an weiteren wichtigen Details. Das neue Stark hat die gleiche Größe wie zuvor (es könnte sich mit der Zeit aber auch erweitern), ist jedoch in 4 verschiedene Regionen auf verschiedenen Servern aufgeteilt, um die Arbeitslast pro Server zu reduzieren.
Die Region wird einen neuen Grundriss haben, basierend auf der alten Hauptinsel, aber das Beste von Alt-Stark werdet ihr auch in der neuen Version finden. Wir reduzieren Prims, Meshes und Skripte so weit wie möglich, ohne die Seele von Stark Islands zu verändern. Das alles bedeutet viel Arbeit und wir werden einige Zeit brauchen und wie ihr alle wisst, wird eine Sim niemals fertig sein.
Aber wenn wir denken, dass die Sim in einem akzeptablen Zustand ist, öffnen wir die Tore!
Wir freuen uns sehr, euch heute diese Ankündigung machen zu können und hoffen, dass ihr genauso aufgeregt seid wie wir!
Also seid gespannt für weitere Updates!
Wir wünschen euch frohe Ostern 2022!
Mit Liebe, Stolz und Respekt und all den Werten, die Stark so großartig machen.
