Classic SLN Cartoons: The New Cubicle

We sometimes joke that Linden Lab servers run on hamster wheels. If they did, maybe they'd use energy drinks instead.

Content Creator Xzavia Yifu Has Passed Away

 

The Newser was notified yesterday of the passing of a content creator. Xzavia Yifu, the woman behind Timeless Textures, had passed away on Wednesday February 1. The news came from Mieville's Wyvvy (Wyvvern Dryke)

Xzavia's RL son sent me a message in Discord today.

I am so very sorry, everyone.

Xzavia Yifu passed away IRL on February 1, 2023

She became very ill over Christmas, due to Covid, and was not able to recover.

Wyvvy stated he had placed a donation jar at the Timeless Textures store, for the purpose of helping to build and maintain a memorial.

 Linn Darkwatch would pass the Newser a notecard sent by Xzavia a couple days before her passing. She stated she barely had enough energy to do anything due to Covid, and was seriously thinking of heading to the hospital, "Please keep your fingers crossed for me that this is just long covid making my life hell vs something more serious."

 

Rest in peace,

Ranchan Weidman Home From Hospital

 

Good news for the Sunweaver community. Yesterday, Wednesday July 28, it was announced by Mato (Matoazma Kazyanenko) that Ranchan Wiedman was back after a short stay at the hospital.

I am happy to announce that Ranchan Weidman is back home from the hospital and resting as much as she can. Let's keep the positive vibes, well wishes, prayers, and all your love and support coming for a speedy recovery! Thank you all so much! <3

A few days ago, it was announced Ranchan had tested positive for Coronavirus while at the hospital to take care of something completely unrelated. Fortunately symptoms were very mild, and the doctors decided it was okay for her to go home. 

Ranchan runs the HV Community sim which contains the Robotech roleplay she GMs, the Xanadu classic rock club, and the SL Newser office.
