chastitydog asked: Hello Mr Neil Gaiman, I am writing on my first book for considerable amount of time now, and people keep directing me to your "Just finish stuff and write next stuff" quotes and I feel bad. Is it really so wrong to take your time?
Nope. There aren’t any rules for how long things take to do. Finish it, and then get on to the next thing.

My ketchup is having just an ok day, it seems.
People being angry about ~dem gays~ on Target’s Facebook.
I just want to give my two cents on this and tell you a story.
A couple weeks ago, I was hired at Target. I have a job at Target. Not a big deal right?
It is a big deal because i’m a transman.
It doesn’t take a genius to conclude that it’s hard for me, my brothers, and sisters to get a job. There are legal restraints regarding the job and if you don’t pass, it’s hard to be taken seriously at a job interview.
Right on the application, it asks what your preferred name is. It also asks if there is anything that target should know. I put the fact that I am a transman, expecting not to get a call because usually when you put that down, people will throw out the application. I got TWO interviews.
At the interview, they asked me about it. I told them I am on hormones and they told me that they didn’t care. Not in the sense that they don’t emotionally care, but that it didn’t matter. I was male and that’s all that mattered. They also told me that they give sex same couples benefits in states that do not recognize them as a married couple.
At my job orientation, I was not misgendered once. Even my supervisors who weren’t sure of my gender avoided pronoun use, which I found only happens when you’ve had pronoun training. They gave me a name tag with my preferred name and didn’t ask questions. I felt safe and respected, which is huge for a trans* person.
TLDR: Target is amazing not just for the LGB, but also the T. Shop there for the rest of your life.
Christians claiming to be oppressed by homosexuals is simultaneously one of the saddest and most hilarious things in the universe.
What an awesome story from the employee though. I had no idea Target was that cool.

Waking up after Eurovision is the closest thing to a hangover I have every (and hopefully will ever) experience.
I’m pleasantly surprised to see that I actually gained a follower instead of losing any.
For that, here’s a cake.
Drinking lots of water and popping two paracetamol helps bunches.

- Me: (tweets) "Alright, flatmates' significant others are both here today. Sam Tyler, get your butt down here."
- Housemate-in-(future)-law: Isn't Sam Tyler that guy from Life On Mars?
- Me: In an alternate universe, Sam Tyler is my boyfriend.
- Housemate-in-(future)-law: LOL.
Took @vvblo to see my favorite friend chicken place. They serve in the adjacent bar now, so it feels less “hole-in-the-wall”. (à Angry Chicken)
