The first Monday of October is World Day of Bullying Prevention. This happens in schools, online, and even here on Flickr and SL. This post was inspired by Dax's song Joker.
So what's your excuse, what helps you sleep?
You leave a negative comment
Not knowing that what you sow, you will reap
I bet you smile when you post, thinking you're hurting me
But you see the way the brain works
You become what you speak
I need peace, but y'all can't offer that
I held my ground, I didn't sell my soul
I said f the fame, y'all can't take that offer back
F a shelf, you can't take me off the rack
All the fame is not worth a heart attack
You're insane, you're in pain, I can tell by what you're saying
But my bad, I forgot you were fragile
I forgot someone who doesn't even know me told you I'm an ahole
I forgot that I'm a villain
I forgot that I've always spread positivity, but you think I didn't
I forgot that hatred stems from people who hate their own existence
I forgot I'm better off alone
I forgot I care for everyone's happiness, but forget about my own
I forget I spend every waking second on my phone-
Come join my circus, I'm recruiting
I'm taking everyone who passes judgement
Bitch, that's including everyone who thinks it's so amusing
To put me down while I'm pursuing
The keyboard warriors that live online
Behind a screen that's just an illusion
Come, come, come, come join my circus

Copilot's take:
**The Pawn's Gambit**
In the heart of the Chess Kingdom, nestled between towering rooks and elegant bishops, stood the prestigious Chess Academy – a place where the fate of the kingdom's battles was decided not by swords and shields, but by the strategic maneuvering of pieces on a checkered battlefield.
On a crisp morning, the newest recruits to the Academy gathered nervously in the courtyard, their polished wooden forms gleaming in the sunlight. Among them were the pawns – humble foot soldiers, eager to prove themselves on the battlefield of the mind.
Leading the recruits was Sergeant Rook, a seasoned veteran whose stoic demeanor belied his years of experience. With a thunderous voice that echoed across the courtyard, he addressed the assembled pieces.
"Welcome, recruits, to the Chess Academy," he boomed. "Here, you will undergo the most rigorous training to become the finest warriors the kingdom has ever seen. You will learn to think not as individuals but as a unified force, each piece playing its part in the grand strategy of the game."
The pawns exchanged nervous glances, their determination outweighing their apprehension. They knew that the road ahead would be challenging, but they were ready to face it head-on.
For days on end, they immersed themselves in training, learning the intricacies of movement and the art of capturing opponents. They practiced formations, honed their defensive skills, and studied the tactics of past battles. But it wasn't just physical training they underwent; it was mental conditioning as well. They learned to anticipate their opponents' moves, to think several steps ahead, and to recognize patterns on the battlefield.
As the weeks passed, the pawns began to transform. No longer were they mere foot soldiers; they were chess warriors, ready to defend their kingdom against any threat. And then came the day of their final test – a simulated battle against the kingdom's most formidable opponents. Across the board, the pieces **stood poised**, their wooden forms charged with purpose.
The bishops angled their moves, seeking to control diagonals and influence the center. The knights leaped in L-shaped bounds, surprising their opponents. The rooks swept across ranks and files, guarding their territory. And the pawns? They advanced cautiously, knowing that their role was crucial – the foundation upon which the entire strategy rested.
The tension in the room was palpable as the battle unfolded. Each move carried consequences, and the pawns felt the weight of responsibility. They remembered Sergeant Rook's words: "Think as a unified force." And so they did. They coordinated attacks, sacrificed themselves for greater gains, and protected their comrades.
In the end, victory was not assured, but the pawns fought valiantly. They held their ground, pushed forward, and even promoted to queens – a transformation that symbolized their growth from humble foot soldiers to powerful leaders.
As the dust settled and the pieces were returned to their starting positions, the recruits looked around. They had faced adversity, tested their mettle, and emerged stronger. The Chess Academy had forged them into more than warriors; it had shaped them into strategists, thinkers, and guardians of the realm.
And so, in the quiet of the courtyard, the pawns stood tall – not just as pieces on a board, but as symbols of resilience, unity, and the indomitable spirit of the Chess Kingdom.

Exposé au sud, entouré d’un cordon dunaire et à l’abri derrière un énorme rocher (qu’un monstre, dit la légende, aurait arraché à la côte et posé au milieu des champs . . .), Meneham a sans doute été habité plusieurs siècles avant Jésus-Christ. On y a découvert des vestiges d’un dépôt de fondeurs datant de l’âge du bronze . . .
Une construction est implantée à l’endroit le plus élevé, face à la mer : «la maison au toit de pierre»
Elle faisait partie d’un système de défense côtière mis en place, au 17ème siècle, par Vauban, sur l’ordre de Louis XIV. Ce système comprenait une chaîne ininterrompue de postes de guet (aujourd’hui appelés «Maisons des Douaniers ») en liaison à vue entre eux, afin de protéger le littoral des raids ennemis (anglais surtout).
Chaque paroisse se devait d’entretenir un certain nombre de ces postes de guet et fournir une milice, recrutée parmi les habitants de la commune. La «Maison au toit de pierre» date de cette époque.
Facing south, surrounded by dunes and sheltered behind a huge rock (a monster, says the legend, would have torn from the coast and placed in the middle of the field...), Was probably Meneham lived several centuries before Christ. It has discovered the remains of a deposit foundry dating from the Bronze Age. . .
A building is located at the highest point, overlooking the sea, "home to the stone roof."
She was part of a coastal defense system set up in the 17th century by Vauban, on the orders of Louis XIV. This system consisted of an unbroken chain of lookouts (now called "Houses of the Excise") in connection to view them, to protect the coastline from enemy raids (especially English).
Each parish had to maintain a certain number of these lookouts and provide a militia, recruited among the inhabitants of the municipality. The "House at the stone roof" dates from this period.

Bullhorn guy. Rob Bell would be proud. I volunteer as a marketer for the Army: "Ladies and gentlemen, today marks the seven-year anniversary of the Iraq War. Over 100,000 civilians have been killed in this war. Over 5,000 United States troops have been killed in this war. So what if there were no WMDs? So what if al-Qaeda had no connection Saddam? It's still worth being over there! The war is not over yet and our government needs your child for sacrifice today. And if you join today, you'll receive these great benefits: Free college! Adventure of a lifetime! Job security! These are fantastic benefits, and all of them can be found at the military recruiting station behind us. However, I am required to note that as great as these benefits are, they do not apply to the dead." www.ivaw.org/

The Blue Tits are back and busy with their nest building which is so lovely to see. I’ve been assisting them by putting out some of Frans fluffy fur for them to come and collect which they seem to appreciate although it’s a bit of a battle for them to get it in their beak as it’s so fine and fluffy it floats off around the garden as soon as they disturb it, but on this occasion the little bird got a nice big beak full to return to the nest box! Fingers crossed for a successful brood, as last year it was a sad outcome with the parent bird’s abandoning the nest leaving tiny baby birds still in it. Nature is harsh to observe sometimes!

Are you light on your toes, ready to zip through the forest and take enemies by surprise? Are you smart and whimsical, creative and clever? Do you have what it takes to ride a Unicorn Bomber, tackle the difficulties of communicating in Faery-speech (fairies only talk in words of one syllable, in case you didn't know, and they capitalize everything that seems important), or flit through the undergrowth helping wounded Faeries while wearing a pink tutu?
