A Beautiful Poster, and an Uncomfortable Reality

I recently saw a beautiful promotional message describing Alternate Metaverse as a place of family, community, friendship, belonging and acceptance.It is a beautiful message, and for a long time, I genuinely believed in that idea too.I spent a considerable amount of time in AMV. I was not simply a visitor passing through. I gave my time, creativity, energy and commitment. I worked as staff, supported people, built, contributed ideas and genuinely believed that I was part of a community.

There were many wonderful moments, lovely people and experiences that I will never deny or forget. But my experience also had another side, one that eventually left me disappointed and hurt. I am not interested in creating drama or convincing anyone to dislike AMV. Some people may genuinely love it there, and I sincerely hope they continue to have a positive experience. Everyone is entitled to their own experience.

But this was mine.

I will not rewrite my history simply because honesty makes people uncomfortable. I know what I experienced, I know what I gave, and I know why I eventually walked away.A community can speak about family, belonging, friendship and acceptance, but words alone are easy. A beautiful welcome sign is easy to create. Creating a place where people genuinely feel safe, valued and accepted, including when their experiences are not always positive, is something else entirely.

I am not asking anyone to agree with me. I am simply refusing to pretend that my experience was something other than what it was.There is room for beautiful memories and difficult truths to exist at the same time.

This is mine.

My experience. My truth. My story.

Sometimes the path leads through darkness,
and we don't know how much farther we have to go.
But as long as we hold each other's hand,
no step is ever completely without hope.

And somewhere ahead, a little light is shining –
perhaps still far away, perhaps only a tiny glow.
But it reminds us:
**Even the longest tunnel has an end.**
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Manchmal führt der Weg durch Dunkelheit,
und wir wissen nicht, wie lang er noch sein wird.
Doch solange wir einander die Hand halten,
ist kein Schritt ganz ohne Hoffnung.

Und irgendwo vor uns brennt ein kleines Licht –
vielleicht noch fern, vielleicht nur ein winziger Schein.
Doch es erinnert uns daran:
**Auch der längste Tunnel hat ein Ende.**

Popup Party! Come on down, let’s have some fun! 😂
Good music, good people, questionable dancing… and absolutely no responsibility for what happens after the first tune. 🤣

Fred came by last night to put the final touches on Tumbletwig—locking things down and making sure we're ready! 💚

DreamGridders, when you get your Exclusive Tumbletwig OAR, wear the Frog Fairy avatar and swim the pond. I added some swim animations to the shoppe! Seriously. Do it. 😂🐸

It is absolutely GLORIOUS! The OAR is almost ready!

🌙 BloodMoon Marketplace – Information

🇬🇧 ENGLISH

The BloodMoon Marketplace is currently under development and open for testing. 🧪

Please note that the Marketplace is designed to be used with a BloodMoon grid account. You therefore need a BloodMoon avatar to log in, purchase products or use the seller features.

🌐 This does not mean that products are restricted to BloodMoon. Once an item has been purchased and delivered to your BloodMoon avatar, it can of course be transferred to avatars on other OpenSimulator grids through the Hypergrid, provided the item's permissions allow it.

💰 At the moment, Marketplace transactions are available in BM$ only, the BloodMoon in-world currency.

💳 A PayPal payment option is planned for the future, allowing creators who wish to sell their products for real currency to receive payments through their own PayPal account. This feature is not available yet.

❤️ BloodMoon is not intended to become a commercial grid. Whenever possible, we encourage creators who wish to share their work with the OpenSimulator community to offer their creations for 0 BM$.

Of course, every creator remains completely free to decide whether their products are free or sold for BM$, and to set their own prices.

🛍️ BloodMoon Marketplace:

Thank you to everyone who tests the Marketplace, reports problems and helps us improve it. ❤️

🌙 BloodMoon Marketplace – Information

🇫🇷 FRANÇAIS

Le BloodMoon Marketplace est actuellement en cours de développement et ouvert aux tests. 🧪

À noter que le Marketplace est conçu pour être utilisé avec un compte sur la grille BloodMoon. Il est donc nécessaire de posséder un avatar BloodMoon pour se connecter, effectuer des achats ou utiliser les fonctions vendeur.

🌐 Cela ne signifie pas que les produits sont limités à BloodMoon. Une fois un objet acheté et reçu par votre avatar BloodMoon, il peut bien entendu être transféré vers des avatars d’autres grilles OpenSimulator via l’Hypergrid, si les permissions de l’objet le permettent.

💰 Pour le moment, les transactions sur le Marketplace sont uniquement possibles en BM$, la monnaie in-world de BloodMoon.

💳 Une option de paiement PayPal est prévue à l’avenir, afin de permettre aux créateurs qui souhaitent vendre leurs produits en monnaie réelle de recevoir les paiements directement sur leur propre compte PayPal. Cette fonctionnalité n’est pas encore disponible.

❤️ BloodMoon n’a pas vocation à devenir une grille commerciale. Lorsque cela est possible, nous encourageons donc les créateurs qui souhaitent partager leur travail avec la communauté OpenSimulator à proposer leurs créations à 0 BM$.

Bien entendu, chaque créateur reste entièrement libre de proposer ses produits gratuitement ou en BM$, et d’en fixer lui-même le prix.

🛍️ BloodMoon Marketplace :
https://bloodmoonpack.com/Marketplace

Merci à toutes les personnes qui testent le Marketplace, nous signalent les problèmes rencontrés et nous aident à l’améliorer. ❤️

I rezzed him in the air, but he can be rezzed on ground and ridden. The point of this post is this project is about preserving Fred’s original Second Life creations and making selected pieces available to be enjoyed again. I have been using photoshop, Canva for years when generating ads, most people do. I’m going to leave it there. Thank you.

back with an empty region....

The Tartar Manifesto

We explain:
The history of humankind is not a straight line.
It is a web of ascents, collapses, oblivion, and rediscovery.
Anyone who claims that progress inevitably leads from a primitive past to perfect modernity is telling a comforting story – but not the whole truth.

We distrust standardized truth.

Something new is coming!

First off, connected to Virtual Beach Theme Park is the updated Tornado Coaster. Joe Builder made it and it was purchased for the grid awhile back. We pulled it out of the archive and i updated the scripts because i had no idea how to fix what was in there lol. Come get twisted.

Since i got back from my camping trip, i had this idea I have been wanting to do. I have been working for 3 days now on creating a Fountain show synched to music. Chat GPT has been so helpful with helping me create it. it has lights

There are 4 prototypes and a final version that is almost complete. The sound does skip slightly but its still so cool in itself. Tried to add some cool moving features but would crash the region. so static it is lol

I will be looking maybe for people to test this for me. I wonder where I should put it.

💜Danke für den wunderschönen Abend.💜

Gridtalk party on July 4, 2026.
💜Thank you for the wonderful evening.💜

The world is changing.
Not always quietly.

Sometimes it is the flames
that consume forests,
drive away wildlife,
and take people's homes.

Sometimes it is war,
persecution,
and despair
that force families
to trust their lives
to small, unseaworthy boats.

Two different tragedies.
Yet both are born
from the same longing:
to live.
To be safe.
To have a future.

This image is dedicated
to those who help,
without asking about nationality,
religion,
or the color of someone's skin.
To the people
who give their strength
so that others may keep living.

Perhaps hope begins
the moment compassion
becomes stronger
than fear and indifference.
