Hi lovely Starchild Shoppers!
I know some of you have been facing challenges accessing the store. It's been a bit up and down due to some blanket country-wide DDoS attacks (you've probably seen other services WW impacted as well).
Anyway, up now, but might be up and down until things stabilise. I have enabled an uptime notification, but if it's not up: it's not you, grid might be down!
Love and stellar blessings!
Aurora

To be or not to be? - Ask the oracle

A mysterious new place awaits you on Fleetwood Beach. At its center sits The Oracle – a mystical Buddha who does not simply watch over everything in silence, but actually speaks with visitors.

Approach the Oracle and begin your personal audience with a click. For ten minutes, you can ask questions, share your thoughts, or simply engage in an unusual conversation. The Oracle responds calmly, with dignity, and with a slightly mystical tone.

As the audience begins, the atmosphere changes: a mystical sound starts to play, a cosmic veil appears, and golden-blue energy effects accompany the beginning of the conversation.

After ten minutes, the audience ends automatically, the effects disappear, and the Oracle is ready for the next visitor.

Important: Only one person can speak with the Oracle at a time, and only that person can read the Oracle’s answers. You can easily reach the Oracle via the teleport pads.

Visit Fleetwood Beach and discover what answers the Oracle may have waiting for you!

LINKUP OPENS WITH A BIG BANG!

Yesterday, LinkUp opened its doors on OpenSim in spectacular style, with up to 50 OpenSim residents joining us and helping make our grand opening an unforgettable morning!

The event got underway with DJ Whisper opening the celebration, setting the perfect mood and getting everyone onto the dancefloor with an amazing selection of music.

We were then treated to fantastic live performances from our two special guests, Ouienanda Proud2B Thai and Eva Fae, who took to the stage and entertained the crowd with their incredible performances.

DJ Ted also kept the music flowing and the party atmosphere alive, ensuring the dancefloor stayed packed and full of energy.

The dancefloor was full of moving bodies, laughter, dancing, and good vibes as everyone came together to celebrate the opening of LinkUp.

A huge THANK YOU to everyone who attended, supported us, danced with us, and helped make our opening such a massive success!

Up to 50 residents, two incredible live performers, two fantastic DJs, and one rocking dancefloor!

And this is only the beginning… LinkUp is officially open!

the first test of baking has been done and you can now make Simple Biscuits in Tribulations.

1. gather the ingredients
2. add to the bowl
3. recipe recognized
4. transfer to the pan; pan shows unbaked simple biscuits.
5. click the oven to put in the pan
6. oven recognizes the recipe and bake for 20 mins
7. you can choose to remove the pan or see what happens... lol
8. pan goes to the cooling location.

so here are the first fully baked Simple Biscuits in Tribulations!

❤️Sometimes, everything becomes a little too much.
Thoughts grow heavy, and the nights too short.
And still, I carry on —
step by step, day by day.
Not because I am always strong,
but because there is someone worth staying strong for.❤️
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
❤️Manchmal wird alles ein wenig zu viel.
Die Gedanken werden schwer, die Nächte zu kurz.
Und trotzdem mache ich weiter –
Schritt für Schritt, Tag für Tag.
Nicht weil ich immer stark bin,
sondern weil es jemanden gibt, für den es sich lohnt.❤️

Thank you all you nice people who came yesterday to the opening of this new region! Would never have expected to have 27 guests while a few other clubs had parties the same time...
Coming Sunday we will have Max Kleene coming over from Second Life... i have seen dozens of his shows, he is incredible, you wont regret to be there....

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. 🤣

🌙 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:
https://bloodmoonpack.com/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.

What will you create?
