Welcome to Night Vale

(x)

"A friendly desert community where the sun is hot, the moon is beautiful, and mysterious lights pass overhead while we all pretend to sleep. Welcome to Night Vale."

As someone who spends a lot of time on tumblr, I had seen many people discussing a bizarre podcast. There were mentions of dog parks and hooded figures and a horrible place called Desert Bluffs everywhere, and soon enough my curiosity got the better of me. This incredibly strange production seemed like something I should listen to, so I did.

 

What's in a name?

As some of you may be aware by now, I am a part of my university’s LGBT committee. It’s a really great thing to be part of, and I enjoy being a representative of the LGBT students, but it’s not always easy or without controversy. In fact, it is often very definitely with controversy, as you’d maybe expect when we’re trying to represent such a diverse and passionate group of people. The most recent source of controversy is over, of all things, our name.
