I am Australian and visited Portland late last year for the first time. I loved it. Such a cool city. Lovely people, a great arts culture, beautiful architecture, and a relaxed vibe. It’s bizarre to see your president speak like this about a great part of your country. 🤔

Oooo I forgot about the pins. If you still have some tomorrow, I propose a pin swap. 🙏

What a great first day of PAX. I am so pleased to have caught up with so many lovely folks (and met some of you for the first time in person). This is always the best part of these events.

Did you know that the first day of PAX is also World Mental Health Day? In this interview we talk about bipolar disorder stigma, the duality of werewolves and the importance of short games for those who get easily addicted: www.sifter.com.au/post/the-las...

Haha, no apology needed!! I vividly remember when everything was “super”…I sometimes miss those days. I always like to see brands/products with whimsical names, especially in this era of ultra-seriousness. I hope you feel better soon!! Take care mate.
