I wish everyone happy holidays and a Merry Christmas, with the hope that we can all feel calm and at peace. May no one ever feel alone, because we are not alone—there is always an angel watching over us, helping us and keeping us company.

I wish for brotherhood among all of us who share music, and may music unite us rather than divide us.

To you who have this gift: always use it to bring people together, never to separate them.

Merry Christmas to you, DJ, and to everyone. 🎄✨

Imagine If I Said This About Charlie Kirk?

As you can see, Trump said that the murder of Rob Reiner was a political killing by someone who hates liberals. When even GOP pols said his remarks were disgusting, Trump, in typical fashion, doubled down and said Reiner was a terrible person -- like what some said about the hateful Charles Kirk, and were persecuted for it.

Isn't all political killing wrong? Will the name of Rob Reiner be added to the Charles Kirk Memorial region? Well, no, Rob Reiner and his wife were murdered by their son. Even so, Trump, as usual, neither corrected his statement nor apologized for it. It seems that the Trump Derangement Syndrome is what the MAGA crowd, and Trump himself, is cursed with.

By the way, this is not a political statement. If I wanted to make a political statement, I'd name a region the Rob Reiner Memorial. This is a statement against hate and violence. It just so happens that it's the rabid-right doing most of it -- according the FBI, by the way, before it was weaponized by Trump.

Here is what Reiner said about Kirk's death. The attack "should never happen to anybody," adding "I don't care what your political beliefs are. That's not acceptable. That's not a solution to solving problems." Here are some things Rob Reiner never said. Charles Kirk did, and is honored for saying them. With no sense of irony, or self-awareness, Trump said Kirk’s killing was “the tragic consequence of demonizing those with whom you disagree.” Demonizing, like this?
• Stoning gay people is "God's perfect law"
• "There's a direct connection to inflation and the trans issue.”
• People should have “just took care of” trans people “the way we used to take care of things in the 1950s and 60s" — which included lobotomies, shock therapy, and involuntary institutionalization.
• We need to have a Nuremberg-style trial for every gender-affirming clinic doctor. We need it immediately."
• Trans identities can be explained by "the autism spectrum" and "puberty anxiety." Also, “Young women have always been more prone to social contagions, and transgenderism is a social contagion.
• "This is what meta is about, the metaverse, kids staring at screens all day long," he continued. "This is where Silicon Valley is going. This is why they're so insistent on this transgender thing, because if you stop being a man then maybe you could stop being a human being." Hear that, people of the metaverse? Your secret urge is to become a rotorooter.
• “Empathy is a made up New Age term that does a lot of damage.”
• Kirk believed in freedom for EVERYONE, For example Taylor Swift is free to submit to her husband. “You’re not in charge.” Kirk said about her.
• “If I see a Black pilot, I’m going to be like, boy, I hope he’s qualified.”
• "It's worth it to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year, so that we can have the Second Amendment to protect our other God-given rights. Now, I don't support what happened to Kirk. But Kirk supported what happened to Kirk.

Chag Sameach! Tonight is the First Night of Hannukah. Birch Grove Winter has free to copy/buy for 0 Hanukkah Food, gifts and decor in the Rainbow Bakery, The Holiday Shoppe and the Mendal Home at #4 Cooper Street. (Keep in mind the Mendel home scene if for the 8th Night but there are still lots of goodies there for all nights:)

Here he is! Little Coco the Christmas Mouse! He's such a cute little fellow, but he's just a little mischievous, getting into all the Christmas stuff and playing with the decorations. However, he is just full of Christmas Joy and wants to help you decorate for the Holiday. You can find this little charmer in the Holidays & Seasons section of the mall. Blessings and much love, Lavia

Getting into the Holiday spirit, I've always loved the scenes with Christmas Angels especially the beautiful Victorian figurines, so I made these for you to enjoy and use for your own Christmas Decorations! They are found in the Holidays & Seasons section of our mall. They are free and full perm so enjoy! Blessings and much love, Lavia

In keeping with the theme of the Mall, I created these Aztec statues for decorations on the concourse of the Mall. And I decided to box them up as well and make them available to you should you need such decorations for your region. The giant serpent is called Quetzalcoatl which means "feathered serpent". I learn a little more about the world we live in by building and creating in virtual. These statues are available in a box at the concourse, they are free and full perm. Blessings and much love Lavia

Just added a 1925 Rolls Royce Phantom I Jonckheere Coupe at the Venues. As with the other cars, it's PBR, full perm, unscripted, and free to take. I'll add more as I go along.

You can find this area at the Emporium by entering the lobby and clicking the Art Deco or Entertainment Venue signs on the left. Or you can take the bridge immediately behind you.

Decided to fully reorganize the Entertainment and Art Deco Venue display areas and add streets and sidewalks. But of course such a classic area also needs classic automobiles. I've added a handful of classic cars on the streets. All are PBR, full perm, unscripted, and free to take. I'll add more as I go along.

The entire area is a great backdrop for photos as well. A PBR viewer works for best results, and make sure to activate shared environment.

My Halloween decor at Lunaria Emporium on Wolf Territories Grid is definitely the latter and I have a nice collection of both original and curated items not available anywhere else in Opensim.

🌀 LEGACY: Wenn dein Avatar mehr Persönlichkeit hat als dein Ex

Diese Kollektion ist kein Versuch, Trends zu folgen – sie ist der Grund, warum Trends überhaupt existieren. Sechs Looks, die aussehen, als hätte ein holografischer Modegott einen kreativen Nervenzusammenbruch gehabt (im besten Sinne). Zwischen metallischen Texturen, Farben wie aus einem intergalaktischen Paintball-Match und Silhouetten, die sich nicht entscheiden wollen zwischen „High Fashion“ und „Ich geh gleich tanzen“, entsteht ein Style-Universum, das so vielseitig ist wie deine Launen an einem Montagmorgen.

Ob du heute Boss-Energie versprühen willst, dich wie ein pixelgewordener Popstar fühlst oder einfach nur gut aussehen willst, während du virtuelle Türen eintreten gehst – Legacy liefert. Und zwar nicht leise. Diese Outfits sind laut, stolz und absolut nicht dafür gemacht, im Hintergrund zu stehen.

🔥 New mystical-decorative gem from Sciattisi! 🔥
Yes, you read that right: today we're going beyond the Zen garden and officially entering the "backyard worship" category.

Here's our brand new and surprising:

Celtic Altar – Special Outdoor Furnishings

Perfect for those who want to give their green space a spiritual touch, a little Druidic, a little Nordic design, and all very scenic.

Here's what the sacred combo includes:

🪨 Stone altar – carved to withstand time, the elements, and the chatter of neighbors.
🔥 Celtic pyre (yes, we're talking real fire!) – to summon ancient spirits.
🍲 2 Offering Bowls to the Gods, one stone and one steel – to use for ritual offerings, incense grains... or maybe chips if friends are coming over.
✨ Polysurface – elegant with dry branches

Most of the noise about “theft” tends to come from people who are also moving content around that wasn’t theirs to begin with.

In OpenSim, the ones who actually make original work from scratch usually don’t waste time on witch hunts. They know the culture: once it’s out there, it’s going to walk. Instead, they keep building, share because they want to, and let their reputation speak for them.

The real creators aren’t guarding the door—they’re busy building the house.

The List That Really Matters.

I recently listed the shops that were recommended in the What Are You Looking For group in the past six months as a way to encourage these and other shop owners to join the group and help people find stuff they are looking for.

But here is the list that really matters. If anyone helps people find stuff in the What Are You Looking For group, their help is acknowledged and their regions promoted. It’s the least I can do to thank our members who make the effort to help people find what they are looking for. It’s been three months since I’ve done that. Here are the people who have helped in that time.

• JamieWright. Moderator of the group and one of our main helpful persons. Visit their profile for info on their regions. https://opensimworld.com/user/JamieWright
One thing I especially love about Jamie's shops is that they are supportive of the 2SLGBTQIA+ (2Spirit/Two-Spirit, Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer/Questioning, Intersex, Asexual/Aromantic + many more) communities.

• Felix Mafia. Visit his profile for a list of his regions. One of them, Kingman City, has been a place for 5 years to find the finest animations. https://opensimworld.com/user/FelixMafia

• FallenAngelAbsent. Visit her region Circus. It features Bumper Cars (my favorite as a kid!), and the Ghost Train.
hg.osgrid.org:80:Circus

• Mistressdalgato offers many things on her Virtual Beach Grid region. I’m going to highlight just one: Free little land without the need for a local account. See her profile for more info. https://opensimworld.com/user/Mistressdalgato

• Jupiter Rowland Moderator of the group and one of our main helpful persons. He has no regions. He's just a freelance helper who is one of the most informed people in OS about where to find stuff.

• RafaGuzn: A mystery man from Mexico.

• Chelsea Louloudi. This is so cool! One of her regions is Pepperland, based on the 1968 ground breaking animated cartoon, Beatles 'Yellow Submarine". lfgrid.com:8002:Pepperland

• Sharpened Razor: Visit Norti Farm for the Vivosim Farming System & Shop with new Farming Item's Freebies & Much more
utopia.outworldz.net:8002:Norti Farm

• Bink Draconia: Among their many regions is the Black White Castle. It's a "monochrome region that gives you the feeling of being in an old black and white movie”. How cool is that! pangeagrid.de:8002:Black White

• Wolf Territories: I had to take my shoes off to count all of the regions Wolf has, and even counting up to twenty was not enough. Check it out.
https://opensimworld.com/dir/?grid=grid.wolfterritories.or...

• John Sheppard  has regions devoted to Dragonriders of Pern Roleplay, and Highlander the TV Series based Roleplay. For more info: https://opensimworld.com/user/johnsheppard

I encourage you to visit these places and thank these helpful folks should you meet them. I also hope you will join us and help out. https://opensimworld.com/groups/1060
