I finally got the leather of my Make a Wish outfit to look right, and after a lot of fights with the current Firestorm crashing (stupid old computer), I finally have pictures taken. Now I just need to make it for all the bodies and get it on sale. #SecondLife

Funny how “COP’S GUN DRIVES ACROSS TOWN AND GOES OFF ON ITS OWN” always turns out to be “I left my gun on the bus and someone found it and shot their cousin”. Good journalism, team.

I have an outfit I'm thinking about using for this design. I wish the location I took the old picture at was still around, but I think it went to the Great Bit Bucket in the Sky. What do y'all think of this outfit? #SecondLife #WIP

I've updated my old Make a Wish design, and I'm trying to decide what to put it on for #SecondLife this year. I've already gotten it ready for real life merch, and I'm just waiting to publish it until the SL merch is ready, too. This is the old version of it.

There have been times I've had to call for welfare checks on people who I feared may have done something - people miles away. Some people I didn't even like, but I did so because I didn't want their blood on my hands & that I genuinely didn't want them to die. Miraculously, I've yet to lose anyone.

The Pumpkin Spice Cafe, a building that seems to be sitting on part of its "roof," with the front side open as the "bottom" of the building is standing above ground level. There is a window in the "bottom" of the building, showing a second level, but I don't see how to access that level.

Flyers is not a good use of “AI” art. Not only does it communicate laziness and a lack of care, it’s actively off putting and results in strongly negative reactions from many. They never generate positive emotions. Your #secondlife events are being actively avoided, filtered out and written off.
