I hasten to invite you to my birthday. I would like to celebrate this holiday in a circle of people dear to me, in an atmosphere of love, joy and fun. And you will undoubtedly make this day brighter and more beautiful. I sincerely hope to meet and wait for you

So many moralists ... OK too many. I don't understand it, please help me. You don't do everything yourself. You copy right and left. From people who give you everything free, copy mod transe. You do the same things on your land/sim. You block it for others. No mod no trans ...... DID YOU ASK YOURSELF AT WHICH RIGHT? ACROSS FROM YOUR PEOPLE? Do you understand the message Yes? Welcome to Opensim! :-)
Go to Google, learn what is Opensim Free spirit!

So viele Moralisten... OK zu viele. Ich verstehe es nicht, hilf mir bitte. Du machst nicht alles selner. Du kopierst rechts und links. Bei Menschen die Dir alles frei geben, copy mod transe. Die selben Sachen stellst Du an sin Land. Du sperrst es für andere. No mod no trans...... HAST DU DICH IRGEND WANN GEFRAGT: MIT WELCHEM RECHT? GEGENÜBER DEINEN MITMENSCHEN? Verstehst Du die Botschaft? Ja? Willkommen in Opensim! :-)
Gehe zu Google, lerne was Opensim Freigeist ist!

In the long distant past, my commentary on current events would be published by the local papers. In the somewhat more recent past, I would have posted this on Google Plus, where I had 10,000+ followers (most of them were, admittedly, fake Russian accounts). I don’t have quite the reach now on the few social media accounts I use. So I’m posting here, among mostly friends, while I decide how and where-else to post this on-line. Feel free to pass this along in whatever fashion you like.

The Execution of Alex Jeffrey Pretti 

The man fatally shot by Border Patrol agents in the morning of Saturday, January 24th in Minneapolis was Alex Jeffrey Pretti, a U.S. citizen with no criminal record. Mr. Pretti, who was 37, was a registered nurse who worked in the intensive-care unit at the Veterans Affairs hospital. According to friends, he wanted to be a ‘force of good in the world.’ He was, but can be no longer. He was not just shot by Border Patrol agents. He was executed.

Almost immediately after agents shot Mr. Pretti, federal officials claimed that he had endangered agents with a gun he was carrying, and some later accused him of “domestic terrorism.” But videos on social media that were verified by The New York Times appear to contradict portions of the Department of Homeland Security’s account of the shooting. But let’s not, for the moment, debate about why the shooting happened. It happened. And what happened after is what made this not just a shooting. It was an execution.

Border Patrol agents threw Mr. Pretti to the ground and, within seconds, four or five agents started shooting him. Ten shots were fired. Afterwards, when agents could have been rendering first aid, they appeared to be inspecting the body, counting the number of bullet wounds. Like you might count the number of hits on a target at the shooting range.

There were five or more bullet wounds, three of them to his back.

A doctor on the scene told an agent that they were a physician and asked to check Mr. Pretti. He was initially refused, but eventually allowed to go to Mr. Pretti after being patted down. “Normally, I would not have been so persistent,” the doctor said in their statement, “but as a physician, I felt a professional and moral obligation to help this man, especially since none of the agents were helping him.”

Law enforcement officers are generally expected to render first aid after a shooting once the scene is safe and the threat has been neutralized. This expectation is rooted in federal policies, state laws, and professional standards. Once a person is incapacitated or arrested, they are considered to be in the officer's care, making the officer responsible for their safety and treatment. But the agents were not rendering first aid. And when the doctor asked if Mr. Pretti had a pulse, the agents allegedly stated they did not know.

The agents did not take Mr. Pretti’s pulse. They hadn’t applied first aid. Rendering first aid is what you do after a shooting. It’s not what you do after an execution.

This mirrors a similar shooting on January 7, 2026, involving Renée Good, where a doctor was recorded asking to check the victim's pulse. The doctor was initially told "No." The agent said "I don't care."

We do care. We should care. We should do something to stop the shootings and the deliberate indifference of federal agents.

We should do something to stop the executions.

Überarbeitete Sound Vendoren in der "Sound Machine"

Nachdem die Original Sound Vendoren, die ich vor ein paar Jahren von einem Freund geschenkt bekommen habe, die dumme Angewohnheit hatten, die Scriptengine zu triggern, mit dem Ergebnis, dass die Skripte regelmäßig versagt haben, habe ich mich endlich dran gemacht, die Vendoren auszutauschen.
Sie sind vielleicht nicht mehr so schick wie die alten, dafür laufen die Skripte jetzt aber ohne Gemecker...
Und wo ich gleich am Überarbeiten war, habe ich gleich noch einige neue Sounds dazu gepackt... :)
* * * * *
Revised sound vendors in the “Sound Machine”

After the original sound vendors, which I received from a friend a few years ago, had the annoying habit of triggering the script engine, resulting in the scripts regularly failing, I finally got around to replacing the vendors.
They may not be as fancy as the old ones, but now the scripts run without any problems...
And while I was revising them, I added a few new sounds... :)

Happy New Year 2026 to our community, our friends and all hypergrid travelers of BloodMoon Grid!

May this new year bring you light in the darkness,
unforgettable adventures, meaningful encounters

Thank you for being part of BloodMoon
and for helping us build a unique grid
driven by creativity, freedom and passion.

May 2026 be magical, festive and full of amazing surprises.

MERRY CHRISTMAS & HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Done deal! Luna's star has been ordered! Just awaiting the coordinates, but maybe we wont know until Luna's rl family has been shipped the rl materials. Thank you to all who donated! i will be ending the fundraiser now, more details will follow.

Die Tage werden kürzer und das Jahr neigt sich dem Ende zu. Wir wünschen Euch eine friedliche Weihnachtszeit im Kreise Eurer Lieben. Mögt ihr Momente der Ruhe finden, um neue Energie zu tanken und sich auf das kommende Jahr vorzubereiten.
As the days grow shorter and the year comes to a close, we wish you a peaceful holiday season surrounded by your loved ones. May you find moments of stillness to recharge and prepare for the year ahead."

(reposting this for as long as necessary until goal is achieved. hoping to announce success asap so that we can have it concluded and move on to a happy and festive christmas/holiday for all) :)

Our dear Luna Lunaria has passed. Rather than only mourn her, which we all do in our own ways, let us band together and show Luna's real life family...just how much she meant to us.

To some, perhaps Luna was a character from one of her rl human creator's stories. To most of us, she was much, much more. It is with a heavy heart that I have shouldered the responsibility as one of her many friends, to setup a GoFundMe for an idea i had: to name an actual star (or multiple stars different names from her stories or rl family), depending on how well this goes. If you like this idea, please find it in your heart to contribute to a worthy cause! https://gofund.me/60f7d925d

Not one thin penny will go to anything not Luna related, with the main goal being at least an "ultimate" star package from the international star registry. All pertinent information is listed in the interest of transparency. If we exceed the $200 goal, additional items or a bigger package may be purchased. I will be working with Lone Wolf on this, and any real life items to be mailed, will be sent discreetly and privately to Luna's real life family, pending their approval. For now, let's just get this ball rolling and see how much this OpenSim community loves and embraces her. She inspired us and gave us so much. Let us give back. Seriously, if you can spare only a buck, 1 dollar of your native currency, 25 cents, whatever it may be, it all comes from the heart. You are not required for your real name or any info to be publicly disclosed if you donate, so keep that in mind, friends. Any questions please contact Leonitas Lionheart or Remmy Ravenhurst of Homelandz Grid, Star Ravenhurst of Tenth Dimension Grid, or Lone Wolf of Wolf Territories grid.

In wenigen Stunden ist es soweit und auf Eternal Ice öffnet der 10. (und letzte) Adventskalender sein erstes Türchen!
Alle Geschenke bleiben bis Anfang Januar 2026 erhältlich, danach wir die Region Eternal Ice nicht länger auf OSW gelistet. Danach gehen die Teleports nur noch über die Karte ( pangeagrid.de:8002:Eternal Ice ) oder eine bestehende Landmarke.

Frohe Vorweihnachtszeit!

In just a few hours, the 10th (and final) Advent calendar will open its first door on Eternal Ice!
All gifts will remain available until early January 2026, after which the Eternal Ice region will no longer be listed on OSW. After that, teleports will only be possible via the map (pangeagrid.de:8002:Eternal Ice) or an existing landmark.

Just completely retextured the interior of the Meditation Temple at Luxor. A beautiful song by Lisa Gerrard plays there and I added meditation stools for those who wish to come and experience some time alone in peace in a beautiful space.

Luxor is my home so nothing is for sale here. The region rewards the patient explorer with hidden grottoes and quiet songs playing at various locations. You can hear them if your sounds are on and you wait for a minute or so for them to load. Luxor is best viewed using a PBR viewer with Shared Environment activated to complete your experience in this place of peace. All are welcome.

***Happy Weekend***

And here they are again: Cutey's cute weekend gifts!!!
Today we have...

- Mischy the little cuddly monster

- Baby Monster Handbag

With that in mind, have a relaxing weekend everyone ♥

Working on a V3 (VERSION 3) of the Weather Online System. A friend once reminded me "-What about cities you find on many places with same name?". I was a valid question: V2 script would take one randomly. Now, one can either specify on dialog menu "Springfield, IL,US (Illinois, United States) or insert the latitude/longitude coordinates. Also I made all, I said ALL countries codes available on script so if one select a city, it will show on open chat the full name in English of the country. Still need do some tweaks and test before releasing it.

***OUT NOW***

12 NEW Legacy f & Legacy Perky Outfits available

Of all the venues I've made, this is the one I see most often in photos from around the hypergrid. It's also my oldest venue, which means it is far overdue for a rebuild with better mesh and PBR. There is an overhaul of all the venues planned for the near future. Currently I'm preparing for an upcoming exhibition I'm excited to be part of, after that I'll have to work the venues in between game development, writing, and other projects some of you have been asking for. We'll get there.

🩷 X-Petite by BK-Mode – Klein? Vielleicht. Wirkung? Gigantisch.

Vier Looks, vier Provokationen – jedes Outfit ein Widerspruch auf zwei Beinen. Hier wird nicht kombiniert. Hier wird kuratiert.

🔸 Crop & Clash: Pinker Tiefschnitt trifft schwarze Powerpants – ein Outfit wie ein Konter.

🔸 Jogger Riot: Sportlich? Ja. Bequem? Auch. Aber mit Jacke, die aussieht wie ein Farbgewitter auf Speed.

🔸 Rainbow Raw: Pant und Top in Regenbogenoptik – nicht für den Strand, sondern für Statements ohne Worte.

🔸 Iridescent Impact: Glitzerndes Minikleid, das nicht funkelt, sondern flimmert – wie ein Gedanke, der nicht zu greifen ist.

🎯 X-Petite ist kein Stil. Es ist ein Störsignal. Für Avatare, die nicht gefallen wollen – sondern auffallen. Für Körper, die nicht viel Raum brauchen, um alles zu sagen.
