"“Some wish to divide and conquer. It makes them feel superior. Others like to see discord and splintering for a sense of control, as they have little power over other aspects of their lives,” said one anonymous Second Life resident, when I asked them about their experiences with the power dynamics often found in groups."

"I can not remember a time in my life I was not under pressure. I am not going to give a list, all I need to say is that a few times I have told folk what I see as basic stuff and it has freaked them out. Even professionals have looked at me wide-eyed." Read more on the blog.

"Both my life and work revolves around travel - air travel specifically. So when the pandemic really hit in March, my life like that of so many other people was turned upside down. Two personal trips I had planned for that month went out the window. And two thirds of my income vanished in a puff of smoke. From a mental health point of view, it hit me hard."

"I have a confession to make. This was meant to be a fall photo, but then I knew I was getting my first snow of this winter season today… Mind you, it was just a flurry, but I do love snow." Read more on the blog.

"Today is going to be an exceptionally busy day for me. I have to go out into the cold world. Yes, I mean, literally cold. I need to vote and run some errands. Ugh, I so hate leaving my house." Read more on the blog.

"There is something to be said about spending hours with someone and not making a sound, speaking a word, and yet, not feeling alone. That is how it is with my Claus. Creating a blog can take hours, even a full day. I am very quiet when concentrating on what I am doing, so it gets really quiet in our Discord channel. " Read more on the blog.

"The images I create take me a lot of time and work. They’re not miraculous or marvellous by any stretch of the imagination. They’re simply photos I create for these words, sometimes I am creative and other times I’m desperate for a photo that doesn’t look desperate." Read more on the blog.

"The transient nature of SL relationships and the intensity of the time able to be spent together in a short period of time in a virtual world like SL (especially now with so many people quarantined) means that people often feel like they’ve found “The One”… several times… and when it doesn’t work out, they simply find another “One”."
