It’s Avengered Development.
I had to reblog this. It’s perfect. I want this to be real.

It’s hard to remember that I was there that night. It seems like it must have been ages ago.
I often rewatch videos of things I attended and view them differently, like as if viewing them from my apartment is a new first experience completely separate from being there.

Anyone know what the two pedals on the far right are? The jackson pollack one and the Ibanez.
Do Not Ticket Transgender People for Using the Restroom!
A transgender woman from Dallas was given a ticket and charged with disorderly conduct for using the women’s restroom.
Paula Witherspoon has been transitioning since 2006 and presents herself as a female. There was no one else in the room, but a woman saw her walking out of the restroom and reported her to the police.
She tried to show a transition letter from her doctor, but the police said they have to go by her license — and as of now, her legal name is still Paul Witherspoon. Paula said it was “humiliating, degrading”.
There are anti-discrimination laws in 16 states and the District of Columbia that protect trans* people from situations such as these, but Texas isn’t one of them. Tell Texas to pass an anti-discrimination law. People should not be ticketed for simply using the bathroom! This is discrimination and it is wrong.

Mr Gaiman and Mr Hodgman continue their conversation about Audio Books. Here they talk about the upcoming audiobook release of Robert Sheckley’s DIMENSION OF MIRACLES and why it sometimes feels like a strange cross between Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy AND Mad Men at the same time.
