In Brief

 

There's a lot going on, and just a little time at the moment to write about it. So here's the short version of a few top stories. 

 

There was an announcement this Sunday from Club Furbidden that the club would be closing. Skitty (XxwildskittlesxX Resident) stated there would be about three weeks of events left. 

 

On Saturday September 12, Team Firestorm would hold it's anniversary party, it's 16th. There were three hours of music, plus gifts people can still head over and grab.

 

For Fantasy Faire fans who would like to visit one of the sims, good news.  Contraption, the sponsor of one of the 2025 Fantasy Faire areas, has made it's own place look like the sim at the event. 

 

More on these, and other stories, later.  

 

In Brief: Alpha Health Alliance

 

Some readers may remember Wesley Regenbogen, who used to write for the Newser. He is still active in Second Life, and showed me a place he's been involved with lately: Alpha Health Alliance, an organization that supports people affected by rare diseases. 

 

We'll likely write a larger article on the place later. For now, here's the SURL and website.

In Brief ...

 

There's a lot going on, and only a little time to write. So, some things that would otherwise have been reported on earlier will have to wait for a larger article. For now ...

 

There's been a lot of talk about Discord Age Verification, and more than a little suspicion. That Discord lost data some months ago in a hack has not helped with peoples' confidence, and a number are talking about jumping ship and heading to another platform. 

 

The Premier Business Center has a Black History Museum. There was a grand opening party on Sunday February 8. The museum honors a number of Black Americans from musicians, civil rights activists, politicians, scientists, inventors, and others. 

 

And of course the mystery of the three strange boulders.

 

These and other stories when we have time to write.
