Gemma Cleanslate Temporary Out With Hand Injury

 

If you're wondering where intrepid reporter Gemma Cleanslate has been, this weekend she contacted the Newser saying she'd hurt her hand, and it'll be a short while at least until she's writing again.

Fundraiser For Venezuelan Wounded

The situation in Venezuela has been poor for quite some time. But in recent days it's gotten much worse. Flawed economic policies have resulted in shortages of food, as well as medicine. Instead of helping the people, the government instead enacted a new constitution giving itself even more powers under a fraudulent vote, and violently suppresses any dissent against it.

At the Fantasy Island sim, I was told about a store that sells commemorative t-shirts for charity, the money going to help those wounded by the violence. The person asked me not to give his/her name out of fear a Second Life account name would be enough for the Venezuelan government to track down and kill someone. There may be a detailed article with an interview later after precautions have been taken.
