Here’s a starter pack of Twitch streamers who still take COVID precautions. If you like interacting on Twitch and you miss having spaces that aren’t steeped in COVID denialism, go follow some of them.
Please let me know of any more COVID-cautious Twitch streamers I should add.

Been deep in the UI mines upgrading the Witch Words interface. 💬
I realised that a long list was going to be too clunky for constructing Phrases. So now we have this radial business, any Word is always 1 to 3 clicks away. Much snappier, for the working Witch. 🧹
