Found an interesting website concerning Companion style topics? Meditation, virtual world dynamics, Firefly websites, art of love? Lets share them here :)

It is interesting information, but I feel sorry for the injury done to mice, and sorry for those mice who were deliberately created disabled.

Just expressing a feeling :-)

Just found out something that may be of interest to any furniture builders in the Guild.  AVSitter will be going Open Source at the end of July.

Last week, I was invited to be on a SL podcast called the Drax Files. While this blog entry may not mention my name since I'm apparently not famous enough (whatever that means in SL), I am in this and even got the Guild worked into it for a moment during my introduction.

Thanks lysana :)) He is interviewing me for a different reason and so I am sure the Guild will be of further interest to him now you have planted the seed :)

I came across this article on "Compassion Baiting"  that might be worth reading. 

Five Big Problems with Compassion Baiting

[Lysana McMillan]

Zen, that article is amazing. I've seen that in action and probably have also done it as well. It's all mixed in with tone policing and false equivalence, both of which are serious problems that are judged to be appropriate by a lot of people who aren't victimized by either. So glad to see that discussed.

This philosophical little movie was made by Natascha Randt and Karima Hoisan. Karima is one of my closest friends and a long-standing patron of the Guild. She began her career as a performer, rather than just a writer, at one of our Companion Houses many years ago. https://youtu.be/pHJOJH0gWDw
