  1. Listen Party! Funny, cause it really came together for completely selfish reasons: I was feeling down and needed some companionship. But so glad people are finding it fun and useful. I sure am!

  11. A dream to my Lady Blackbird MC Sidney Icarus and the crew of the Owl (Ellen Saxon, Lu Quade, Ary Ramsey, Stephen Humphreys), who – despite stealing precious hours of my sleep in the middle of my night – have given me a tremendous amount of happiness and satisfaction. I have finally realized my dream of playing a multi-session story arc from beginning to completion, and I don’t know how it could’ve been any better.

  13. Fraser Simons <3 It's just cause I wanna be like you one day. (also special dream to you for actually being a full time designer now, what a HERO).

    A handful of dreams to Tomer Gurantz and Stephen Humphreys for knowing how to talk me down when I’m all inside my own head. I couldn’t…wouldn’t have made it through that game of Lady BB without you to just tell me to breathe it out. I’m so grateful that I have you both.

    A 3am wild dream to Pat Perkins for sharing the stream with me the other night. It was a real blast to have company and the first bits of immediate back and forth in my design. Felt super special.

    A dream apiece to Lauren McManamon, Lu Quade, and then a bonus 5 dreams to Ellen Saxon for being there for me on ANZAC Day. Guilt and shame are big parts of my reaction to that day, and big parts of my pathology. Sometimes I can feel guilty for feeling guilty and the whole day is just a massive spiral of bullshit. But not this year. Y’all were right there for me.

    And my regular, worn-at-the-edges, grandma-knitted and full of love dream to Mr Jason Cordova himself. Without whom these dreams would all be absent thoughts, and these friends would be strangers. I’ll forever be grateful.

  29. Dreams to Jason Cordova quite literally—I know how much being a mentor for the community means to you.
