@anyone
I need help naming a spaceship in my story. It’s my main characters’s ship and I’m getting a bit tired of just calling it “the ship”. It’s a really old, tiny ship that is basically the scifi equivalent of a rusty old camper. It belonged to the main characters’ father before they took it and ran away. Any ideas?

@loopylin hmmmmm…
What’s its shape? Is there anything common or cool on its planet of origin?
fun fact, I have a spaceship in my stories which literally IS a rusty old camper (but with wings and a hyperdrive lol)

It’s shaped pretty much like a camper with wings, kinda. Idk I need to finish my build of it in minecraft. That would help.
It comes from a very rainforest-y planet. It’s a bit underdeveloped. All I got is that it’s got very ecopunk vibes. And has 3 moons and 8 oceans.

I’m glad to see kp didn’t completely die out while I was gone.
How has everyone’s summers been?

I need help naming a spaceship in my story.
– Name it after a creature or plant to keep up the ecopunk nature-y aesthetic.
– It got its first name from the first trip it went on, where shenanigans ensued and the ship was heavily involved. Idk what that would look like.
How has everyone’s summers been?
Still taking care of kids and making some money. There’s a little baby I might take care of next week.
I kind of want more piercings. Since I’m already planning an appointment to get a loop in my helix, I might just double lobe and get another left helix.
I am out of signature ideas

Oh cool! I’ve always kinda wanted more piercings too.
⭐️World's Slowest Writer⭐️
They’re really fun! I was the first to get a helix and planned to double everything later. But then one day, I noticed my mom had six piercings and I realized she got the piercings I wanted before me. ?? Also bought a pile of earrings and hid them somewhere, Sneaky magpie Mum. So now I gotta catch up.
Joke’s on her, my ears heal like a dream and I’ll have all loops in before her, hehehe.I am out of signature ideas
@loopylin I’d love to see the Minecraft build when you’re done!!
Rainforest planet sound super cool. How about naming it after a native animal? Are there python-like animals? Jaguar-likes? What about plants, tare there pitcher plant equivalents?

Please pray for Charlie Kirk’s family. I don’t know if y’all heard what happened yesterday, but he has left behind a very young widow and two little children. He was someone I looked up to as well, and this has honestly been a really hard blow for a lot of people. He was only 31.
For those of you who don’t know:
Charlie Kirk, a well-known conservative activist in the United States and staunch ally of President Donald Trump, was shot and killed at an event at Utah Valley University (UVU) on Wednesday.
Video of the incident circulating on social media showed Kirk speaking to a large outdoor crowd when a loud crack, a gunshot, rang out.
Kirk briefly clutched his neck before collapsing from his chair, sending attendees fleeing. He was 31 years old.
Here is what we know:
Kirk was on a speaking tour, and his stop at UVU was the first of at least 15 scheduled events at universities around the country as part of his “American Comeback Tour”.
Before the shooting, he was seated at his “Prove Me Wrong” debating table, taking questions from an audience outdoors.
videos show that Kirk was going back and forth with a student about mass shootings and transgender people when he was shot.
“Do you know how many transgender Americans have been mass shooters over the last 10 years?” Kirk was asked.
“Too many,” Kirk responded as the crowd clapped.
“Do you know how many mass shooters there have been in America over the last 10 years?” To which Kirk replied, “Counting or not counting gang violence?”
Seconds later, Kirk could be seen struck in the neck as he fell from his chair.According to reports, Kirk was shot about 20 minutes after he began speaking at approximately 12:10pm (18:10 GMT).
In footage from the event, Kirk can be seen moving his hand towards his neck as he falls from his chair, sending the attendees running. In another clip, blood can be seen gushing from his neck immediately after he was shot.
No one else was shot during the event.
Kirk’s wife and children were present during the incident.
The shooting took place in the UVU courtyard, about 64km (40 miles) south of Salt Lake City.A spokeswoman for the university said Kirk was shot from the roof of the school’s Losee Center, a campus building 100-200 yards (roughly 90-180 metres) from the event area.
It was not clear whether the shot was fired from a rooftop or an open window.
Founded in 1941 as a vocational school for war production training, UVU enrolled more than 46,800 students in 2023.
Kirk was one of the most prominent conservative activists and media personalities in the US, and a trusted ally of President Trump.
He cofounded Turning Point USA, a nonprofit conservative advocacy group, when he was just 18.
Kirk’s group grew into the country’s largest conservative youth movement, and over the years, he became a central player in a network of pro-Trump influencers, often described as the face of the “Make America Great Again” movement.
He was also a sharp critic of mainstream media and threw himself into culture-war battles over race, gender and immigration.
His provocative style won him a loyal support base but also fierce opposition.
He had, on some occasions, criticised the Civil Rights Movement and the Black Lives Matter movement, and aired his belief that whites are disproportionately attacked by Black people in the US.
On September 9, the day before he was killed, Kirk appeared on Fox News, accusing US Democrats of pushing a “false narrative” that Black Americans are under attack in the US, when in reality he said, white people were being targeted. He was speaking regarding the unprovoked murder of a Ukrainian woman last week by a Black man on a train in Charlotte, North Carolina.
“White individuals are actually more likely to be attacked, especially even per capita, by Black individuals in this country,” he said.
Kirk once compared Islam’s Prophet Muhammad with the child sex offender, Jeffrey Epstein, referring to the prophet’s marriage to Aisha at a young age. In an interview with GB News in May, he also said Islam was “at odds” with Western values. “Islam does not believe in freedom of speech, Islam does not believe in freedom of religion, and Islam does not believe in separation of mosque and state,” Kirk said.
Kirk was a strong supporter of Israel and backed its war on Gaza. On one occasion, he questioned whether Palestine even exists. In May this year, while debating a pro-Palestinian student at Cambridge University, Kirk justified Israel’s two years of war on Gaza, saying: “When you declare war on Israel, expect a firestorm in reaction.”
Kirk was a staunch supporter of the right to own guns in the United States. Speaking at an event in April 2023 at the Salt Lake City campus of Awaken Church in Utah, Kirk said a few gun deaths every year were an acceptable price to pay for the right to own guns.
“It’s worth it to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year, so that we can have the Second Amendment to protect our other God-given rights,” he said. The Second Amendment of the US Constitution grants Americans the right to bear arms.
“That is a prudent deal. No one talks about that,” Kirk added. He also said schools should be protected by armed guards to reduce school shootings, rather than by passing anti-gun laws.
Kirk believed in “traditional” gender roles for women and was against abortion, even in exceptional circumstances. In a debate hosted by Jubilee Media in September 2024, Kirk said that in a hypothetical scenario, he would not allow a 10-year-old daughter who was pregnant from rape, to have an abortion.
There was confusion about whether a suspect was in custody.
A “person of interest” was in custody on Wednesday evening, Utah Governor Spencer Cox said, though no charges were immediately announced.
Later, Utah police said two people had been considered suspects, but they were released after officials found they had no links to the shooting.
Beau Mason, the head of the Utah Department of Public Safety, said a suspect was described as being dressed in all-dark clothing.
He said one shot was fired in the fatal attack.
Six officers were working the event, and there were more than 3,000 people in attendance, according to Jeff Long, chief of the UVU police.
Kirk also had a private security team with him.
“This is a dark day for our state. It’s a tragic day for our nation,” Utah Governor Cox said.
“I want to be very clear that this is a political assassination.”
Currently, the campus is closed, according to the university, and it will remain closed until September 14.
“On behalf of Utah Valley University, we are shocked and saddened by the tragic passing of Charlie Kirk, a guest to our campus. Our hearts go out to his family,” UVU said.
UVU said while an investigation is ongoing, there is no continuing threat to the campus.
Charlie’s children will be raised with stories instead of memories, photographs instead of laughter, and silence where their father’s voice should have echoed.And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who couldn't hear the music
