I usually reserve blog posts for long-form articles, but this is definitely post-worthy. Just five hours ago, the delightful Neil Gaiman announced that he and Amanda Palmer are expecting their first baby together! Lit-nerds, art-nerds, rejoice! The announcement was made via Twitter and soon followed by a post from AFP (Amanda Fucking Palmer) herself, bragging that she is eating ‘all the ravioli she wants’. I say feed that baby (and yourself) all the creamy pasta you collectively need!

The couple also shared this beautiful photo of Amanda, three months pregnant.

From The Maven Herself, I would like to extend a HUGE congratulations to the lucky couple. What an amazing life the little bublet will have. Who knows what kind of child they will become. Maybe they’ll start a Fantasy filking band? Or write feminist comics and perform them through interpretive dance? Either way, this is surely a win for geeks everywhere (and, humankind).

Best wishes to both of you and enjoy that ravioli, Amanda. You’ve inspired me to break for lunch.
