21st September is WORLD PEACE DAY!

Whilst it may seem slightly frivolous, ZetaWorlds is having an event/party, We can't end the wars, the assault on Ukraine by Putin's Russia, the conflict in Gaza made worse by Israel's tamper tantrum, the military junta terrorizing Myanmar, but we can raise awareness and we can make a difference!

Anyone that buys a region that day, any package really, all proceeds will be given to Angel of Life aid for Ukraine! Let's raise some money!
The charity is linked here: https://angel-of-life.weblium.site
(additional information: https://www.volunteeringukraine.com/en/volunteer-opportuni... [added by Mathilda Stark])

The day starts of with a Q&A session again with Edison and Vincent answering burning issues, questions, and talking us through planned upgrades etc. Please direct your questions and anything you might want to discuss here: https://zetaworlds.com/forms/questionnaire

So the timetable for the day:
8am: Q&A Session
10am: Quirkessential DJane HAZEL ITO plays one of her unique mixes
11am: Sees the return of live singer ROGUE GALAXY to center stage
12 noon: High noon, for our live DJ MATTIE
1pm: It's the normally naked DJ RUUD, but this time at least partly clothed, don't miss this!
2pm: Our lovely ELLEMIR takes over the decks before handing over at
3pm: to the next live DJ NORA COLA

So please come and join us, donate to great charities one way on another, and make it a night to show support for the wronged and a world living in peace and harmony!

If that somehow offends you: Attacking fellow humans is abhorrent whether it be punching your neighbor or invading a whole country for no reason.

I've created a new group to show solidarity with anti-fascism and opposition to other hate groups and individuals. No heavy deal, you don't have to do anything to show your solidarity other than joining the group, and maybe, if you feel you can, displaying the logo on your region or in your club to show that hate groups and anyone associated with them are not welcome.

Obviously those who want to get a little more involved are more than welcome to do so, such as arranging events with a prominent anti-fascist message, even if it's only displaying the logo on promotional materials, to much more ambitious things such as art displays that highlight the dangers of the extreme-right.

To remove all doubt, fascists and their fellow-travellers, (Trumpists, Faragists, Lepenists etc are not welcome! Prospective members are vetted and are subject to approval, which means it's a safe space for the wary.

This isn't a political group, so you won't be bombarded with ideology, it's simply a group for those of us who share a similar belief, that all humans are worthy. I'll even go so far as to say that members should leave both their politics and their religion at the door, whilst anti-fascism is a political stance, it is one that crosses political boundaries. We don't even have to like each other to show solidarity, a point worth remembering.

************************************************************************************************************

Just a heads up. I strive to keep moderation light on comments to group posts, but obviously I will not tolerate intolerance or other comments that seek to denigrate other human beings in any way. Any such comments WILL be removed. Cogent and fair and relevant comment will be respected, even if not agreed with.

To anyone complaining that their rights to free speech have been violated, I point out to you that I am the moderator and it is me who decides what is allowed and what is not. If you wish to express an opinion that is contrary to the values of this group, you are free to do so, somewhere else.

Copies of the logo are available, as is an at present limited range of clothing with an ant--fascist message on it. Please ask me for copies, stating in the case of clothing, what avatar you use. Thank you.

A List of OS LGBT+ Focused Places.
Perhaps, foremost, this groups serves our members as a refuge, and place to form connections and community. But the group is not just social. I hope it will be action-oriented. I'd like to help LGBT+ Focused places survive and thrive. We will also help promote LGBT+ Friendly places.

What is the difference between focused and friendly? LGBT+ Friendly places serve as friends and allies to the LGBT+ community. LGBT+ Focused places are intended to serve the LGBT+ community, but generally, are also open to all.

Many places that aim to be a gathering place have difficulty surviving in OS. But LGBT+ Focused places seem to have the hardest time of all. Most are listed by OSW as off-line, from anywhere between one month to seven years.

Here is a list of list of OS LGBT+ focused places that I found listed as on-line at the time of my search. I used the search terms “Gay”, “Lesbian”, “Shemale”, and “Trans” The information on the list includes Name / When Listed on OSW / Traffic Rate /Owner / URL / NOTE. They are listed in order of traffic rank. Most have dance clubs. (We could plan a Safari-style tour event at places without dance clubs).

The inverted pink triangle, surrounded by a green circle symbolizing universal acceptance, was introduced at anti-homophobia workshops from the Gay & Lesbian Urban Explorers in 1989. You may want to use this image at your place to show its a space free from homophobia and to indicate your alliance with gay rights. You can get a copy at the Xinashi landing zone. grid.wolfterritories.org:8002:Xinashi

Please help distribute the sign by setting it for sale and full perm. Let me know if you display this, and I'll add your place to a list of LGBT-friendly places. Not sure how we can use the list. Let's make a list of ways to use the list!

So, my grand plans for the Alliance. Let me know what you think.

The group description says that we work at "identifying and promoting places that celebrate pride, individuality, and diversity"

Identifying LGBT-Focused Places
• Use "region search" to find places with, for example, "gay" in their name/description.
• Call on our own and friends knowledge of such places.
• Put up a front-page post asking that owners of LGBT-focused places contact us.

Promoting - Plan A
Our main effort would be to help promote LGBT-focused places. We would rotate monthly events among them. Think of the Safari tours, but with a single destination each month. To be selected, these places would need to commit to cross-promoting Alliance events.

Promoting - Plan B
The aim is to create a community of LGBT-focused places that support one another. I've been cautioned that there are factions, politics and competition among them. So Plan B is to do Safari-like tours of LGBT-friendly places as well as any LGBT-focused place that agree to take part.

While there is a Plan and a Plan B, plan B would be easier to implement first. That means finding a good mix of LGBT-friendly and LGBT-focused places for Alliance events

The problem is that there are so many LGBT-friendly places (What a nice problem to have!) How do we go about picking which, and in which order, for monthly events that rotate among them? It makes sense to me to pick group member places first.

In addition, I'd like to have an annual fund-raising event for a group-selected organization that helps the LGBT community.

More to come.

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.

The Love Is Love Alliance
We promote LGBT community-building activities in OS, such as identifying and promoting places that celebrate pride, individuality, and diversity. Membership is open to all people and places supportive of our purpose and those working to promote it.

Tomorrow (Saturday) at 10 am PDT, DJ Nora Cola hosts an exploration of the music that came to be known collectively as "Grunge". Hold onto your beanies, this isn't a nostalgic reminiscence of the top 90s hits; it's a deep dive into the primal rage that spawned this unforgettable genre.
Come join us at the DIP: hop://hg.zetaworlds.com:80/Banarnia/683/1288/21

A new attraction on Stark Straits, a gallery of AI art that does not take itself too seriously, being created from fantasy and desires by a complete novice!!! You will love it or hate it, it is the marmite gallery!!!!!! It it is called Niki's Checkerboard Museum of AI Art.

Finally! After a very long break, a new Stark! magazine has been published.

This issue was again photographed by Nice Minik. This time Nice deals with the thought of what it would be like to be able to see the fantasies of others. A very exciting topic, in my opinion.

You can get this and all other issues published so far from our vending machines in front of the Stark! shop, directly behind and below our Studio 54.

Come and pick up a copy, even of the complete vending machines!

THANK YOU SO MUCH!

We collectively raised $206 for charity with $108 going to UNICEF as 36 visitors attended out charity event! We decided to triple our donation for such a great turnout. Attendees at the event pitched in another $98 towards charities. Thanks to Posy Potts, Mathilda Stark, Niki Stark and Edison Rex!

If you can, please continue to support a charity of your choice or donate to one of these. Thank you all so much for this great event and the donations!

Welcome to Stark North District!

The Stark North District is more than just an extension to Stark Islands. It's a full new region with the main sim North District plus 2 nice residential sims Archipelago and Causeway and an impressive nature sim called Straits. The main sim North District holds a bunch of shops. There are also some possibilities for nice roleplays.

The North District region is connected directly to Stark Islands, means you can even walk from the Stark Islands main sim to North District by crossing the whole region. Well, if you dont have the time or you are too lazy, you can go by boat or teleporter.

But why I am writing this all? Better you make your own experience and come over to Stark North District.
