This outfit needed an accessory, so I tried my hand at actually MAKING something, rather than going out and buying it, like I usually do. I had some pretty cool gear sculpt maps in my inventory, courtesy of PREFABRICA, and a rusted metal texture I had bought previously. This is the result.

I want to script the gears to actually turn; I think that would be cool.

May 22, 2009, was Second Life Volunteer appreciation day, so I stopped by Eventopia to check it out. Lots of really cool things to look at, some fishing, dancing, hidden caves, but overall the coolest thing were the Mentor Superstars.

I had to set my draw distance to about 112m, but once I did, WOW.

Here's my Star!

They were set to L$0, so we could take a copy of our star. Very cool. Thank you Mia Linden and the other members of the V-Team!

Lifting the Yoke of Oppression

So, I decided to do something today that I never thought I'd do. I left a Second Life group that I've been a long-time member of, that I loved dearly, blogged for, and offered up my land for free to (for a long time).

Why you ask?

Because for my own mental health, I can no longer live in the SL Closet. I was being asked to NEVER speak about my life, because MY LIFE is considered to be political. MY LIFE is considered to be a taboo subject. Because I'm gay.

You know what? That's fucking bigoted. So, I left that. And I de-friended that. And I'm moving on.

p.s. I've removed myself as an Admin from the Group Blog, NOT deleted the blog. I've removed myself from the Group Flickr, NOT deleted the group flickr. I do not have any plans to Mute or Ban or any other such nonsense.
