NEO Shares Jewels

Marilyn Monroe by Andy Warhol

My friend and co-blogger NE0 Timeless shares two interesting clips with me - and you all - on his blog Free Your Mind.

The first clip To Bock McMillan (url) shows the creator of our dreams and our amazing world Philip Linden, in first life also known as Philip Rosedale, talk about the origins of SecondLife and the directions we may be heading.

The second clip To Bock McMillan (nr 2) (url), is the first part of three in a series of conversation called "BAN6 Conversations @ YBCA - Radical Identities". In the first part we can hear a mind boggling conversation between anthropologist Tom Boellstorff (url) and Philip Linden about our identities in first and second life and the interactions between them.

Celebrate with Mid

My friend the beautiful, creative and always busy Midnattsdotter Fride (Mid or Fride, to those of us who love her) is celebrating her rezday today and invites us all to join in.

Happy rezday, dearest Mid! I am already getting excited to listen to strum Diesel at your beach again, the very same place where I heard him the first time:

Kandi´s Rezday Party

 Here are some pictures from Kandinsky Beaumont´s rezday party! All the the five Apmels where there and quite a few others.

After arriving back home today from a two day visit to Stockholm I was too tired to stay long, but as long as I was there the party was going strong!

Apmel Goosson shows NE0 Timeless some new moves. NEO doesn't seem too impressed...

Happy Rezday, Kandinsky

Young Kandi partying while old Bock looks on (last weekend)

Tonight is the night that we celebrate my friend the beautiful Kandinsky Beaumont on her rezday. In polite society a lady´s age is usually not discussed because women are forever young.

This rule of discretion does of course not apply to the oldest living Swedish female avatar in SecondLife, Ms. PetGirl Bergman, who will be seven (7) eight (8) years very old later this year, which is almost equal to 95 100  in first life.

Our mutual friend Apmel Goosson has sent out an invitation welcoming everyone to celebrate the rezday girl.

Apmel tells us that Kandi isn´t much for celebrating her age but that some friends will join her at her house tonight just to show their love and respect.

The celebration will start at 12:30 PM (noon) SLT and will most likely go on for a few hours at least. You are more than welcome to join us!

Russia to Silence All LGBT People

Homophobic Russian twat Vladimir Putin

All Out today informs us that

"The party led by Russian President Medvedev and Prime Minister Putin is pushing discriminatory legislation against lesbian, bi, gay and trans people that could eliminate their freedom to speak publicly and assemble.

Russia is a signatory to numerous international human rights treaties - including the European Convention on Human Rights. We call on you to urgently speak out and hold Russia accountable to its treaty obligations - and stand with LGBT Russians whose ability to speak for themselves is under attack."

Lawmakers in Saint Petersburg could pass a bill tomorrow that will crush freedom of expression for Russians and make LGBT people invisible. But leaders around the world can help stop it.

Sign the petition here!

If this bill passes Russia will clearly demonstrate how far behind they are when it comes to human rights and democracy! I hold Vladimir Putin personally responsible for this and I hope the leaders of the democratic countries see him for the antidemocratic dictator that he is.

Thanks to my dear friend Zigadena Gabardini for pointing this out to me.

UPDATE (from All Out) "February 8th: This morning, St. Petersburg legislators passed the 2nd reading of the outrageous "propaganda" bill that will silence millions of Russian LGBT voices. Our friend Polina reports that we still have time to call our world leaders -- the final vote will come next week. Call your foreign affairs office now, and spread the word HERE."

Bock Quoted in First Life Media

I happened to Google my name today and to my amazement I found this article on CTV News.ca from August 30, 2011 where they actually quote a comment I made on copyranter´s blog.
