See, that's a much broader, but still not completely accurate definition. Harassment isn't necessarily a group activity. And sometimes, calling someone something derogatory, or accosting them, isn't considered harassment (i.e. when it's in response to something they said or did).

That's a pretty narrow and squiggly definition of 'harassment'. Good thing your opinion and the actual rules are two very different things.

If you don't like a product offered by a creator, don't buy it. People have different sense of fashion and preferences, not everything is made to appeal to everyone. If you don't want to buy something from a creator because they also sell a pair of low-riding trousers with a lacy thong, fair do's - but to expect that anyone cares about your reason is just juvenile, to be honest. You want creators to stop making things that other people enjoy, and only make things that you want? Grow up.

Hm, I'm leaning towards 'Your eminence', but I'd let 'Your excellency' slide. 'The right honourable' is acceptable, as long as it's written in the Queen's English.

Books shouldn't smell. It's a sign of something being wrong; it's either mold or lignin - a substance found in wood pulp which is what is causing post-1800 books to turn into brittle, yellowed cakes that fall asunder if you look at them the wrong way. Unless it's the scent of smoke or nicotine, which means that someone in the past has done the books serious harm. If it's the smell of leather, that's okay. The use of wood pulp is largely considered the greatest challenge for book and paper conservators today, as it's irreversible, and that despite gargantuan amount of resources, of time and money, that has been spent trying to find a solution - ranging from picking the books apart to bathe the individual pages in various pH-neutralizing agents, to fuming them - in a century or so, we're going to have a 200+ year gap in the world's book and document collections, unless a viable solution is found. Whilst we do make archival paper out of chemical wood pulp these days, we don't actually know how well they will last. Important documents and books should always be printed on paper made from textile fiber, with archival ink - books made 500 years ago still have pages as brightly white as the day they were printed, with colours more vibrant than LED monitors (and gold leaf illuminations!). Of course, back then a lot of the ink used was acidic instead, and that eats through the pages ... Meh, we'll learn, eventually. Stable pigments (like soot, i.e. pure carbon) with stable binders (shellac is nice and also gives it a nice sheen) on paper made from lint lasts at least 5 times as long as the modern stuff. ... Or we'll save it all on hard drives, 'cause no one ever lost anything important that was stored on a hard drive, right?

I only made one of the endbands today. I decided to anchor it in every section, so I had to stop to count the pages all the time. Of course, as I get to the end of it, I find that I'm a page short, so apparently some of the anchorings aren't actually in the sections' centers. Oh well. Could have made the other endband now, but since we just had a Yule lunch, I've decided not to move another inch today. And yes, the edge is supposed to be rough, and yes, that does make the endband appear more irregular - it's on purpose!

Guaranteed to thrill you, chill you and fulfill you ... Ugh, now I want to watch RHPS. The other thing I can make no promise of, without consent from the other party. Nods.

Hm, RHPS, or what you and Amina have told me to do throughout the afternoon? 🤔

I may have already checked. 😈

In the context of what she said, it struck me as really quite odd ... Swimming around Bellisseria, huh?

Granted, but instead, people will start spamming gifs in response to every post that they would otherwise have 'reacted' to, resulting in that any single post may have a page and a half full of gifs following it, each quote done in full, including all pictures and everything. I wish I could come up with good wishes. I suck at wanting things.

Easy. Just put the legacy name at the end of the link (with a dot replacing spaces). https://marketplace.secondlife.com/wishlists/

These days they at least have all their old hunts gathered in one place, so that you can pick them up for cheap. It's in one of their 'old stuff outlet' buildings opposite to the main store.

Goes off to have a look at Beth's wishlist. Comes back looking as if I'd seen a ghost. Okay, I did not expect that.

But those tend to fill up with creeps and brats. ... ... Do you want to go halfsies on a Christmas present for Beth? I know exactly what we could get her!

Oh, didn't realize you asked for stores in plural. Uh, let's see .. SOLE for accessories. Have Unequal have a few nice Cyberpunky outfits. For hairs, there's Adona, A&Y and EMO-tions. ContraptioN has a SciFi section well worth giving a look into for accessories.

A&Y, by far.

Wednesdays I go home after lunch. Left a rounded and backed book to press overnight, which means that I get to start tomorrow off with stitching endbands for it ... I love stitching endbands.

Ugly children.

Sure do. Every time I've finished a meal!
