"Yes, it is nonsense, but it's important nonsense!" Amen. Keep playing - such a crucial reminder. Thanks!

I never stopped playing, and after seeing this, I never plan to! Mallory, I'd love to have someone like you as a friend. You are cool!

This is also why cosplay is important. You feel so free to run around with other fans, and be totally accepted. Even if it's just for one day. I never feel as open and in the moment as I am at events.

Great talk! The world needs more play :)

Thanks, Ellis! I'm so glad you agree. Obviously I do. Are there ways in which you can bring more play into your own work, or personal life?! Love it.
