Ricco Saenz: A Decade of Transformations

Read Ricco Saenz great retrospective post on his 10 years in SecondLife, Second Sighting: Being 10 years old in Second Life: a decade of transformations

I particularly agree with this quote from Ricco´s post: 

"I am in SL because it gives me a good time, because I’ve met, and keep meeting, some great people on the grid, because I have developed an intense relationship with someone there to the point of calling him my husband, because I feel marveled at the possibilities of the virtual world, because I still see its potential and its positive reality."

I'm Evil Too!

Just like dear, sweet, Myra Hindley in this iconic photo, I sometimes like to be evil.

Dear Myra showed her evilness by carrying out the five Moors Murders (July 1963 - October 1965) with her partner in crime Ian Brady.

I myself do it by writing posts on April Fools Day (yesterday) to try and trick you into believing a rather fantastic claim I made, which is of course a misuse of my credibility.

Sorry, but I am not at all sorry if I managed to trick you into believing it.

Remember to always beware on April Fools, we are all out to fool you.

Linden Lab: "Love Is Love, Is Love, Is Love"

Yesterday I got a heads-up from my dear old friend Ebbe, to keep an eye open for some exciting new developments that would be launched today. And my is it a whopper!

In an exciting and thrilling announcement today on the official SecondLife blog we can read that Linden Lab has - finally - decided to depart from it's Judeo-Christian roots and accept all love for what it is and allow residents who choose to do so to formalize it by entering into recorded partnerships.

Hitherto it has only been possible to partner with one other resident, regardless of gender, from this day onward we will be able to enter into multiple partnerships.

However, there are two restrictions

1. No more than ten residents can be in one partnership at this time (the numbers may - or may not - be amended in the future to a larger or a smaller number.)
2. If a resident is already in a partnership the presumptive new partnership must  also be accepted by all the previous partners on both sides for the partnership to be recorded and official.

It really was high time for Linden Lab to allow poly-amorous relationships in SecondLife. We all know of existing love triangles or even menage-a-quatre, cinc, six, sept, huit, neuf and dix.

Ever since I read the news I have been thinking of if and with whom I would want to extend my marriage with. I will keep you updated on my thoughts on this.

Update April 2nd, 2017

Transgender Day of Visibility

Today is the annual Transgender Day of Visibility, a day to show your support for the trans community.

The idea is recognize the accomplishments of trans people around the world, to combat cissexism and transphobia, and to spread awareness of the trans community.

Unlike the Transgender Day of Remembrance, this isn’t a day for mourning: this is a day of empowerment, recognition, and love.
