Bumping this.

I don't think I'm in the Nimlet anymore but I offer my assistance as the author of the legislation creating the Florencia Journal. Once we have a governor we should make progress on this along with constitutional reforms.

@Sir Lüc I noticed in Discord your mention of a recent Witt update. Do we have a running log of updates/changes to Witt? If not, it seems like a nice thing to have when time allows.

@vicente I have had the pleasure of running a few rounds of a Talossan poetry contest called El Pretz Per Tomas. If you plan to produce more works of poetry in Talossan it would be great to see you enter the next round.

Please take this message as notice that I am withdrawing my application. I no longer desire membership in the Royal Society. I thank you and the Society for any review you have already conducted of my application and apologize for any inconvenience.

I think my withdrawal may have come before you finished your statement. :) Thank you for the time you took reviewing my application and for acknowledging the merit of my work. When there is new leadership I will reapply hopefully under fairer conditions of consideration.

Everyone who has the capacity and desire to practice empathetic behavior is welcome here. I reiterate I may not be the best person but I hope we will help to create space for this.

Quote from: Barclamïu da Miéletz on October 15, 2026, 02:12:25 AMI don't really understand why you're so hurt by this, I just want to perhaps protect my privacy because my face has been weaponised and used against me before?

The hurt was caused by confusion as to why everthing was pulled as I honestly didn't know. I now know it was because you had privacy concerns and did not want to be associated with me. Thank you for explaining.

Quote from: Barclamïu da Miéletz on October 15, 2026, 02:12:25 AMThat is a rather mediocre attempt to relate with me.

I think you might be saying it was. But it is not an attempt to relate with you. I do not have a desire to relate to you only to understand what happened. I thought that conversation might have been one of the causes of you pulling your videos so wanted to check.

Quote from: Barclamïu da Miéletz on October 15, 2026, 02:12:25 AMI should have articulated that better and I am aware it was hurtful. This and exclusively this is on me.

Thank you for acknowledging that, Barclamiu and for providing some helpful answers.

In the course of taking stock of my own mental health, over the past 72 hours, I was reminded of my attempt to start something called the Talossan Empathy Network. It would have been a space for vulnerable, challenging interpersonal discussions which I think could have been a tool for growth, connection and even transformation.

Here was the announcement from quite a while ago:

Quote from: Breneir Tzaracomprada on August 25, 2022, 07:10:20 PMThe past six months have seen a remarkable number of instances where citizens reference struggles with their mental health. Obviously COVID and economic difficulties are implicated somewhat. And I aware that none of us, insofar as I am aware, is a mental health professional but that does not mean we are unable to be sources of empathy and compassion for one another. The education of our personal experiences, while not qualifying us to be truly effective clinical providers, does allow us to provide the ear and eyes of someone who knows the path the other speaks of.

There will be inevitable, necessary considerations on privacy concerns which may vary by person. But in this thread and maybe a freestanding group in the future I would like to guage public interest in convening a mental health support group. If it is warranted and advisable, then what are concerns that need to be addressed before launch?

I am certainly not the best person to sponsor and spearhead it now. But I do think some kind of dedicated effort to nurture these kinds of discussions could make Talossa a place of belonging and comfort. Should someone take the baton I believe that there was a suggestion that the discussions be guided by the rules of Nonviolent Communication.

Apologies for necroposting.
My delegation to Al-Khalil/Hebron has been delayed to mid-2027 but I am still planning to create an FT special from my time there.

Alright, now to Talaviac'hi food. The first cultural food item, as approved, by the only other Talaviac'hi on Earth is something that is a fusion of Japanese and Hawaiian tastes.

It's musubi.


Consulting the wiki oracle for additional information:

QuoteSpam musubi is a form of musubi that originally came from Hawaii, a popular item in the lunchboxes of Hawaiian plantation workers. The origin of Spam musubi is disputed. Survivors of the Japanese American internment camps on the mainland of the United States claim to have invented the precursor to Spam musubi, when they placed seasoned slices of Spam on white rice in a baking pan. However, most origin stories focus on Spam's ubiquity in Hawaii during and in the aftermath of World War II. With few other options, the canned meat was incorporated into local cuisines wherever American troops were stationed. For example, South Korea's budae-jjigae, a stew of surplus U.S. military foods, included Spam. In the United Kingdom, where Spam was ubiquitous during the hardship of the postwar years, Spam acquired a stigma exemplified by the 1970 Monty Python sketch. Spam may not have been abandoned in the Pacific like it was in the UK simply because of the comparative economic deprivation experienced in the Pacific region.

The Honolulu Star-Bulletin said of Spam musubi in 2002, "There is no definitive history for this aberration." Still, the newspaper relayed that a 2001 cookbook stated that the potential creator is Mitsuko Kaneshiro, who began selling them out of City Pharmacy on Pensacola Street in Honolulu and by the early 1980s was selling 500 handmade Spam musubi servings a day out of her own shop, Michan's Musubi. The other person said to be the creator of Spam musubi is Barbara Funamura of Kauai, who sold it out of the Joni-Hana Restaurant in the Kukui Grove Center. The Garden Island in 1983 described it as, "Spam and rice, two local favorites, are combined in an enormous musubi (rice ball) wrapped in nori (sheets of dried seaweed)."

The fact that it is cheap, easy to prepare, and delicious combines three important aspects of Talaviac'hi cuisine. That it can be found in gas stations is also a notable aspect of the foodstuff. Any Talaviac'hi worth their salt knows that gas stations are havens of delicious gastrointestinal destruction. But do check the prepared date just to be safe.

An easy spam musubi recipe will be included in the next edition of the Talossan Book of Cuisine.

First, I wanted to ask @Barclamïu da Miéletz @owenedwards @Carlüs Éovart Vilaçafat and @Antaglha Xhenerös Somelieir

Barclamiu, I was genuinely hurt and confused when you requested to have your videos taken down from Fora Talossa. Ever since there seems to be hostility. I recall a conversation about furries in an immigration thread. At the time, as a member of a university Queer Collective group I had met my first furry so it was an honest curiosity to me. You later made fun of my appearance which was again quite hurtful. I continue to be confused as to what I did to you to deserve this. Was it a consequence of what I said to Luc or the heat of politics? I'd like to better understand because I do not want to be a source or a recipient of harmful words. Please feel free to talk privately if you wish or not to respond at all I will try to understand either way.

Owen, I assume it is due to the what I said to Luc as it is around that time that communication declined. I recall you were to be a judge for the, I think, 4th round of the El Pretz Poetry Prize, but communication stopped and I finished the proceedings. You've been wise counsel in the past so how might I prevent a reoccurence?

Carlus, I think it might be the same situation with you, or you are just taking a break from Talossa. If it is the latter then it would be great to reconnect. If it is the former I would welcome a chance to learn from your perspective.

Antaglha, I asked you in the first group because we both appear to have mental health challenges. From your perspective, and some of your comments, I know there was much of what I have said which caused you anger and outrage. The chance of a response might be low but I ask for your counsel nonetheless because I believe I could learn from it.

With thanks again to my husband @Crement Itravilatx and to a wise Talossan @Tric'hard Lenxheir for inspiring me to try and make amends for past wrongs and to endeavor to be better. I am thankful to Crement especially for helping me to understand why I was reacting automatically in self-defense to what I perceived as attacks and how it might be related to past bullying. He encouraged me to put the focus on understanding what was said was harmful and that there is a human being involved. A second apology, a course, and leaving the Ziu followed.

Regardless of what it is said now about me by people I do not trust the focus must be on learning to ensure that my words match my intent. And that they reflect the true nature of my character.

Over the next few weeks I will be asking people to help me understand. Feel free to respond here or to correspond privately or not at all. Of course it is a choice but I hope to have your help because I think the discussion's benefits go beyond me.

Tomorrow is the submission deadline for Volume 5 of the Book of Cuisine. Hoping to publish next month. Please send in your delicious recipes.

I hope that others will consider that shame and name-calling can cause the person you are asking to reflect and change to become defensive especially if they have suffered bullying in the past. It was only with the help of my husband that I decided to move beyond self-defense and explanation even while the attacks continued to apologize a second time and agree to the additional requests that were made.

I know you think you've succeeded but this campaign caused mental harm to me that was not proportional to the offense and I believe that you enjoyed the pain you were inflicting. I have asked God for help with forgiving you.

Sure. Here you go:

Ziu resignation submitted to the SoS

I am attaching the screenshot below of my Alison.com test score. Purchase of the actual certificate is $27. I hope this will be sufficient but can also forward the email from Alison.com:


@Mic'haglh Autófil, O.Be
@Baron Alexandreu Davinescu
@Miestră Schivă, UrN-GC

@Sir Lüc

This is official notification to the Secretary of State that I am resigning my 7 seats in the Ziu. I thank the couple of Talossans who voted for me and will look forward to serving the Kingdom in 2027.

Quote from: Baron Alexandreu Davinescu on October 12, 2026, 06:41:42 PMresign from the legislature for one term, and then take a course we selected on how to avoid avoid harassing others and the importance of consent... we would be prepared to consider this as evidence of an attempt at good character, and you would no longer be considered ineligible for public appointments or positions of trust.

@Mic'haglh Autófil, O.Be will have the final call of "signing on" as party leader, but if this is the gist, then I will recommend that he do so.

I was under the impression that this would be the outcome if Breneir fulfills the conditions set for him, yes. While I don't think our word is what's questionable here, I am comfortable signing off on it and making that outcome explicit. The onus for reconciliation remains, as it ever has, on Breneir.

I assure you at this time there is no desire for reconciliation. It is just time that this situation be ended for the Kingdom. I will post the certificate after course completion tomorrow and then submit my Ziu resignation to the Secretary of State. Once that is complete I would appreciate you all signing the statement.

In terms of BHAID, I have no access to the fundd and have no information of the actual balance of the funds we have to our organisation.

But I would recommend that we donate to charities helping in the relief effort, one for both nations effected, and have a citizen drive to also donate to the same charity organisations

I don't have any specifically in mind, apart from maybe the Red Cross. Other than that, people can recommend charities, and we can review

In addition to the Nepali Red Cross here are some other great options operating in Nepal/Tibet:

Direct Relief
Project Hope

I wonder if the citizen donation drive could be done in cooperation with the new Talossan Naval Relief Corps?

I have no reason to not suggest that our donation be spread between these three charities and have a drive that encourages talossans to donate to all three
This is what I officially recommend

Very grateful that the PermSec has recommended three charities for support. Will this be a part of the budget in the second Clark? Or would it be a special expenditure?

I will soon be out of the Ziu but I very much am following this portfolio. It has been a few days now since I posed this question. I am following up.
