After many years and even more words and stories written for TSU, YJ Chrysalice hands over her hat as leader of WRITE to no other than Spymaster General Danov Valravn!
TSU thanks you for the many years of work, support and creativity, Alice. It’s not easy leading a division, and you did a great job.
Now, we look forward to a new era of creativity and writing within TSU. May the Bunker stories keep coming and the words keep flowing!
Hi everyone!
It is about time we talk about something very important and serious: The GAMING MAMMOTH is coming up!
As every year, we need you to decide what charity we want to support. From today on, you have a whole week to vote on your favourite charity. And here are the candidates:
1) Crohn’s & Colitis UK – https://www.crohnsandcolitis.org.uk
The people of focus on research, education, support and raising awareness for serious bowel diseases such as Crohn’s Disease. It’s an issue that goes widely unnoticed while many people suffer from it – More than 300,000 people in the UK alone. It is largely a hidden disease, and one that causes stigma, fear and isolation – it’s thought that many people with the condition go undiagnosed and suffer in silence. It doesn’t have to be like this.
Crohn’s & Colitis UK is the UK’s leading charity in the battle against Crohn’s and Colitis. With our help, they can make a real difference for those people who suffer from these terrible conditions.
2) The Trevor Project – https://www.thetrevorproject.org
Founded in 1998 by the creators of the Academy Award®-winning short film TREVOR, The Trevor Project is the leading US organization providing crisis intervention and suicide prevention services to lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer & questioning (LGBTQ) young people under 25. In many places, especially young people suffer from the consequences of what is not their choice, leading to mental illnesses such as depression, being shut off from society or even physically or mentally hurt.
The Trevor Project tries to help these young people giving them hope and a perspective and educating on the matter. They also offer trainings on suicide prevention, school workshops and virtual as well as physical safe spaces for LGTBQ youth and their friends and allies.
3) World Resources Institute – https://www.wri.org
WRI’s mission is to move human society to live in ways that protect Earth’s environment and its capacity to provide for the needs and aspirations of current and future generations. We’re now living in a world with dwindling resources and a dying environment. Pollution, poverty, deforestation and the overall irresponsible way we treat our planet and each other are serious issues – but issues we can handle, and need to. It’s becoming more and more urgent that we think of new ways to live and to gather the resources needed.
The experts and staff WRI work closely with leaders on solutions for all of these critical issues worldwide.
Our annual Gaming Mammoth has a set date now, and we hope that as every year, many of you will support us!
Soon we will open a poll to vote on this year’s charity, and link you to a form where you can sign up for streaming.
And don’t forget to like and share!
We wish you all the best for the new year 2019! May it be full of adventures and fun surprises for you!
We wish all of you a wonderful Toymas, lots of fun and a joyful year 2019!
Greetings patients! Uh, soldiers!
It’s been a while since you’ve heard from you favourite doctor, but hereby we’re announcing the Dr. Modius Halloween Special!
Greetings, fellow soldiers!
As part of Operation: “Propaganda 2k18”, we created a new “How To Find Your Passion” sheet for you to share and hand out. You can find it in our Propaganda Toolkit now as web and print version.
Enjoy spreading the word!
Great news!
I no longer have full responsibility by myself :D
Though, I never had full responsibility by myself… TSU has always been a community project…
That being mentioned, I’d like to welkom Lt. Sophie to the rank of administrator.
This is something that I have been thinking about for a while now, and thankfully, Lt. Sophie has proven herself (though, she did not know it).
During everything regarding the mammoth, and during the many holidays that I’ve had since I took over the banhammer from Sgt. Dutch, she’s been around to take over from me.
Helping me out with blog posts, emails, images or just her weird sense of humor.
Things, big and small, that really took some weight off of my shoulders.
Because, let’s face it, I’m not the strongest one when it comes to writing blog posts or motivating others to write.
Let alone to keep a steady stream of content going on through the website or the many social media channels (make sure to follow all of them!).
Her drive to keep people involved in the creative challenges that lie ahead for the TSU, is what confirmed for me that she would make a great admin.
It also gives me the room to go back to the deeper depths of the TSU and work on the technical improvements.
As well as work on the larger vision for the TSU, and focus more on the legal and financial stuff.
Knowing that content will be in good hands :)
Some of the older members might experience a slight déjà vu moment with this sharing of responsibility.
As it is quite similar to what Sgt. Dutch and Commander Jet used to do back in the day.
And I would like to believe that it’s a formula that really works well!
This does not mean that it’s Lt. Sophie and me vs. all of you!
TSU keeps running with a few members at it’s core, that all share a bit of responsibility in making sure that the TSU is a place where everyone can feel at home and have fun.
We discuss ideas and suggestions within this group, and make sure that it falls within the greater vision for the TSU.
So with this, I also want to thank Rev. Geoff, Trigo and Iron, for their continuous support and great feedback!
If it wasn’t for you lot, I would have gone mad ;)
