((While in IC hospital for four days I continue to experiment during breaks in roleplay. Simple layers, simple effects, but with time comes experience. Photos are shot by me in SL, edited in Lightroom and Photoshop before I ask AI on how to achieve final ideas, e.g. complex masking layers))

Found myself another job as event manager at the Hathian Performing Arts Centre ('HPAC'). Not quite the size or scope as the Museum was, but hopefully not a place that goes broke. Surely students, models, performers, dancers... they all need a place to work, socialise and play.

((Jail? Jail?! For assaulting a police officer! for a brazen parking ticket assault on press freedom?! See you in cells for a few days or later if unlike Daiyu you’re being good and paying the outrageous fines! :) ))

FDH did what they could during and checked all they could before. It appears that all reasonable steps were taken prior to the evacuation, although being let down by others is nothing new to the emergency services. Will City Hall take note and change? Hmmm... news.thecrackden.com/2025/09/fdh-...

Good event. Thank you to Chartbusters for hosting. news.thecrackden.com/2025/09/pett...

Woke up. How terrible. Found a trophy star. Have decided to make it a pentagram for summoning the dead. My black heart Is pleased. Thank you to those at @chartbusters.bsky.social for allowing one day of the week to be extra special.

We'll help Hathian get to the truth. It's true in this city people don't work together easily. That's why we're trusted to dig into everyone. HGH, HPD, FDH. Mayor. Gangs. When there's hurt to you, our readers. We're here to find out and expose. news.thecrackden.com/2025/09/live...

It’s amazing as I tour the city how many other large buildings, some clearly with space and made of good structure were available. A rushed evacuation decision into a building that had a flat(ish) roof covered in plant material that had likely damaged the concrete and allowed water ingress…

All this feeble attempt to stir and distract. A decision was made. People died. Following the evidence should be the priority as to whether fault existed or lessons learned. Yet suggesting that? hornet nest. Tells you something - whether HPD or FDH; all the same. Deflect, Distract, Deny.

((I actually felt hurt by the attitudes of some people in the last week. When I’m just trying to do my ’job’ (which comes with nothing) and people ascribe bad intent to me that wasn’t there or can’t be bothered to even ask then it is toxic entitlement. Please do better! 1/2))

((Some thoughts: My opinion after four years is the wider community has become less open and willing to experiment with people and ideas. Things which were in the past taken as positive are no longer explored and there is less ways to meaningfully feel useful as things become more closed (1/3) ))

Well, one hopes that Maja's boba butt has a fat cheque in it to give to a few people. Mouth writes cheques, can her ass cash them? I may have to print certain things, but this one... Tsk. Clearly Maja was wanting that cock from whomever was giving it to Nova. Caisen? Cole? All these other people?
