About Myself
I am 55, a transgender woman. I was told I was being "too political" when I told people who I was. If YOUR politics cause you to hate me, then I guess.. yeah.. I am being political, being me. :)
I have been in OpenSim since the first year it existed. I am owner of the 6th largest grid. I am an OpenSim developer. Otherwise, I have no power over what people think or say. If you are an LGBT person, and feel alienated sometimes. I can only tell you that I welcome you, value you, and believe that you matter! Having a safe, supportive community and environment to be yourself IS ABSOLUTELY the most important function of OpenSim. That is why I invest so much time, money and effort here.
I am probably going to avoid the comments and posts here, because of previous troubles. If you want to talk to me, just come to groovyVerse and say hi. :)

This is a replica of Metacomet's war club from the late 1600's. It is currently on display at the Fruitlands Museum in Harvard Massachusetts. Each wampum inlay along the top commemorates an invader personally dispatched by Metacomet during the King Phillip War 1675-1678
 | Hyacinth: This is actually something I have intimate knowledge how to make. I learned when I was a little kid. The ball is made from the knot of a tree, and is quite hard and heavy. An alternate design has... 2 days ago |
Historically accurate new outfit. :D

I called out absent from work tonight. Just exploring our beautiful world in my canoe... hehe

I am finally getting some time off from work. I am hoping to make more native clothing this week. I am particularly proud of how the moccasins came out :) The wampum belt is actually a very old design from the forming of the Haudenosaunee nation.

Sam and i are working on a huge area, depicting pre-contact New England and Canada. This panorama is of the estuary where the Saco River in Maine meets the sea.

Before OpenSim...

If you are my age or older, you may recognize this album cover. :)
Another spot at our OpenSim Fest region.

An old picture that I came across. This was my first region, years and years ago, shortly after OSgrid first opened. I arrived here from SL with like 5 textures, and some sculptie palm trees I created. :)

Some good news. I compiled Firestorm 7.1.10 PBR, and it doesn't crash every single time I teleport. There is light at the end of the tunnel with the next release. Photo included of me not f***ing crashing. yay! :D

GroovyVerse swag. :) I'm trying my hand at DTF transfers and made this last night.
| | Hicks: Very nice 3 months ago |
First attempt at some GroovyVerse swag. :D
Spinning some random tunes tonight, if anyone wants a break from "the box" :)
LOL I had to dig out an ad board for OSgrid's birthday celebration, and forgot I made this years ago. :)
I added a little bit of a ripple, shadow and cloth texture to the flag Xenon was kind enough to post earlier. Feel free! :)

My virtual campaign office at Kawabunga Bay surf region. I am running for State Representative in RL (and likely to win). The people on my grid can't vote of course, but my Partner brought up the funny point that they are all virtual residents of Ward 5 in our city. So it is relevant. :)

Tosha, Nomad, Doctor Dave and I were invited as guests on Inworld Review today. We were talking about our Pride event last Friday, and various places to see on our grid. We had some technical issues with voice, but it was fun. :)

After a decidedly NOT fun couple of weeks, I'm working on something fun. We're making a big 6x6 surf island. Just M-rated. The design (other than the rollercoaster park) will be kind of in the style of Martinique. A tropical island, but with more like french colonial style villages and houses. We don't need bamboo everything everywhere... :) I'd really love to have LGBT meetup dance parties for fellowship and support. Get something positive and non-confrontational going...
Sam's working on the villages today and tomorrow, and I'll make some roads through the forest and have little 3-wheeler island cab tours. It will be fun.
The railroad line goes about 70 kilometers all the way to the Welcome region. It's fun to ride, and we have about 300km of continuous track running so far. Stay tuned!

I had left the site for a time, the bad mojo happening was too much. Third time is a charm... :)
I have no control over how people think, or how they act. And I wish I had not got so mad and had acted a little better myself. But I just want people to know, if they feel abused by a few people, those angry people are in the minority. Most people in OpenSim just want a peaceful place to be themselves. Even the angry people, they are working their own stuff out too I guess.
Moving forward, I think we should all just cool it, and remember the person on the other side is a human too. This isn't just a "game" What we do and say matters, and can hurt or help people.
