Happy Independence Day—and here's to the next 250 years.

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.

When history is condensed into a single official narrative in school textbooks, an illusion of certainty arises. But every generation rewrites history. Every power structure decides which voices are heard and which are silenced.

We therefore maintain that
history does not belong to institutions.
It belongs to human memory, to art, to people's stories.

We defend creativity as a fundamental form of human freedom.

Many people have been convinced that they are "not creative."
This is one of the most successful cultural deceptions of modern times.

Creativity is not a rare talent.
It is a natural state of the human mind.

A person who designs, questions, doubts, invents – eludes complete control.

That's why creativity is political.

We are questioning the concept of value.

In a world where numbers determine value, it is forgotten that
the value of a thought, a poem, or a picture cannot be calculated.

A work of art can be priceless – or appear worthless – depending on who is looking at it.
This shows that value is not an objective measure. It is a matter of agreement.

We warn against the new architecture of control.

When every movement, every purchase, every decision is transformed into data, a society of total observation emerges.

Discounts in exchange for data.
Convenience in exchange for privacy.
Security in exchange for freedom.

The new power structure is not visible like a palace or an army.
It consists of networks, algorithms, and information flows.

We remind you that freedom also requires anonymity.

We advocate for human standards.

Communities should be small enough that people know each other.
Small enough that responsibility remains visible.

A society is healthy when citizens can influence its decisions – not just every few years by marking a ballot, but through active participation.

We call this vision "Tartar".

Not as a historical claim about a lost civilization,
but as a symbol for another possibility of human organization.

A world with more creativity,
more decentralization,
more trust in people's ability to shape their own lives.

This manifesto is not the end of a discussion.

It is an invitation to think differently.

As you probably know, I love Oriental techno, and we've already organized a few Oriental events in the past. I think it's time for a new one!

Yes, exactly, and here it is!

Created a SummerGown with texture changing to various Hibiscus prints. This is my first real rigged mesh that I created solely, I am wearing Athena Avatar and the Body HUD works with it to alpha the parts. I included the Shape I used in Avastar to get a good fit. It is in the Waves of Courage surf shop for those who want to try it. The shape is in Contents of the Dress.

Legacy – Für alle, die nicht um Erlaubnis fragen

Legacy ist kein Look. Legacy ist eine Haltung.
Die Art von Stil, die einfach auftaucht, den Raum übernimmt
und so tut, als wäre das schon immer der Plan gewesen.

Kein Drama, kein Aufwand — nur dieses entspannte
„Ja, ich seh gut aus. Nein, ich erklär’s nicht.“

BK Mode bringt Outfits, die nicht laut werden müssen,
weil sie schon cool genug sind, wenn sie einfach nur existieren.

Спешу поздравить самого дорогого моему сердцу человека — тебя, родной! С днем рождения! Безграничного счастья, богатырского здоровья, окрыляющей любви, преданных друзей, неземного богатства и космического успеха!
❤️❤️WhiteAngel Deed❤️❤️

✨ BK-Mode fuer Reborn + Waifu – Wenn Stil Wiedergeburt feiert!

Hier trifft Glanz auf Haltung, High Heels auf Selbstbewusstsein und jede Kurve auf ein Statement.
Die Looks? So unterschiedlich wie deine Laune – von „Ich regiere die Nacht“ bis „Ich hol mir nur kurz Kaffee, aber bitte mit Glamour“.
Reborn ist kein Trend – es ist eine Einstellung.

Also: Outfit an, Kopf hoch, Spiegel raus – und zeig der Stadt, dass sie heute nur Statistin ist. 💋

SECURE SPLIT-KEYS VERSION + SIM RESTART AUTO NOTIFICATION

*** WHAT IS IT NEW FROM V2? *****
Added an extra feature: it creates now a notecard called GHOSTLIST - just add anyone`s UUID and the device won`t detect at all (SIM entering or leaving).

Based on the script from Satyr Aeon
Fully modified and extended by ChatGPT, DeepSeek AI and Claude AI

Examples in notifications:
• "John Resident entered Main Region (14:30:15 PM GRID TIME)"

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

Note:
- The script uses grid Unix time + your offset.

HG SAFARI CAME, The CLOWNS NUKED THE PARTY!

Even if you were to spend the entire day at Dismayland, you would not get to see everything. Mistress Dalgato's secret is SAFE, the Fountain of Youth's exact location remains a secret!

The region is open 'as designed' for all to enjoy, the park is available for public groups and parties, just let me know in advance so you can enter on a fresh restart. I may consider allowing private parties and tours as well. The only thing you will NOT find at Dismayland is boredom. https://hgsafari.blogspot.com/2026/05/safari-signs-off-for...

What are your PLANS for WEDNESDAY? At the end of the HG Safari season, Thirza brings her TRAVELERS to Dismayland for a Scavenger HUNT in a KILL ZONE! What would you possibly expect in a place named like this? Bring your body armor just in case... it will not help.

Whether you come for the games, the shows, knowledge or just for the rides, there will be plenty of whimsical bedlam for all attendees. Bring your sense of humor and have a BLAST!

REMINDER: OpenSim SYSTEM standards are fairly enforced by script. Adult mesh avatars must meet SYSTEM not 'real world' standards. If your attachments are triggered, please change. Dismayland is WORTH the extra effort.

I wrote this song for my sister so this one means a lot to me. It isn't just pixels and avatars in virtual...there are real humans with real feelings behind the screen. Friendships are real and they last. How many years have many of us known each other? I feel blessed for all the friendships I have made over the years, and having someone who feels like family on this journey, I am thankful beyond words. 10 years and counting... Thank you for watching! SUBSCRIBE :)

OK, OK, OK.. with all these AI pics here on Opensim I couldn`t resist lol

**AI vs. Reality: Why You Should Never Trust Your Screen**

Take a look at the image: On the left, AI gives us a chiseled, beach-ready elf version of me with a perfect tan and a margarita. On the right, we see the "Real Life" "me"version: a bald, pizza-loving guy in a stained shirt on a crumbling sofa.
This is exactly what the critics are shouting about! They want you to see this as proof that AI is out to deceive us all. According to them, if you aren't careful, you’ll be catfished by a digital elf when the reality is just a guy, his soda, and a very tired couch.
So, let’s join the panic: watch out, world! If the internet says I'm a muscular ginger elf, I`m probably just a guy with a "Pizza King" box and a dream. Don't let the pixels fool you!
Ok, I get to go now. need rest a little bit on that same sofa lol.

💙 Athena – wenn Eleganz verführerisch wird

Athena zeigt diesmal die hohe Kunst des „weniger ist mehr“.
Spitzen, Satin, Straps und ein bisschen Drama – genau die Mischung, die Herzen schneller schlagen lässt.

Ob schwarz, weiß oder himmelblau: Diese Outfits sind gemacht für Nächte, die garantiert nicht früh enden.

Athena trägt man nicht einfach. Athena inszeniert man.

The Dismayland RATING has DROPPED from an "A" to "M". This act has had devastating consequences! Velma owns FNN News, the TV station and the Narrative! She does not care about the petty election, She controls what everyone sees and thinks. Corny Collins and his slutty girlfriend have gone too far! Time for Von Tussle to set the record STRAIGHT, while Corny and Tracy must endure her endless lies! More interesting updates are on my blog: https://opensimliving.blogspot.com/

It's World Puffin Day and Fianna Rua has some kick ass Puffins. There are free to copy/buy for 0 birds on the South West side of the lighthouse on the rocks. There are some others that are simply to be admired:)

There is a wooden Puffin statue in the Old Bridge Inn up on the shelf that's also available. And these fun Punk Puffin tshirts in the clothing shop at the corner of Merchant and Mermaid's Lane. The Puffin graphic on the shirt comes Pixel Labs on Pixabay. The shirts are for Classic Avatars but textures are included for BOM users.

Puffins are charasmatic birds; sometimes nicknamed the clowns of the sea. While globally they're not classified as endangered they are vulnerable to extinction they suffer declining populations due to climate change and food shortages related to overfishing. It should be noted that European Puffins are listed as endangered. Pollution, oil spills, hunting and invasive predators are all factors in this.

Love Puffins today:)
