Yes, I’m busy watching the Amanda Palmer webcast wishing I could be with my friends in London. However, I can’t miss telling you about these two things.

First up, a remarkable Q&A piece on trans issues at the New York Times.

And secondly, the utterly amazing news that Chris Roberson will be writing a comics prequel to Phil Dick’s Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? It’s official licensed and everything. The cover credits are for Philip K. Dick, Chris Roberson and Robert Adler (the artist). If this doesn’t end up on a Hugo ballot one day I shall be very surprised. More details and a link to sample pages here.
