Emily Womack, a fifteen year old from Duncan, Oklahoma, went to see Avengers Endgame opening weekend and was asked to leave before the movie even began. During the previews, Emily, who has Tourette Syndrome, began experiencing tics and was asked to leave the theater by AMC Theatres employees.

The Bi Line: What I’m Looking Forward To at @ClexaCon Feature from @kleffnotes

Katherine Kleffner

This is my third year going to ClexaCon and the second time that I will be going as press. Last year was the first time my girlfriend, Krista, and I went to ClexaCon together. We met there in 2017, but since we were going as a couple last year we did a lot of intense scheduling and tried to do as much as we could. While some people can survive that I wound up burning myself out trying to do everything I thought I needed to do as press and Krista and I had tried to cram in a lot. This year, while I will still be doing coverage, we’ve decided to tone things down a bit so that we don’t wind up with post con burnout like last year. Continue reading “The Bi Line: What I’m Looking Forward To at @ClexaCon Feature from @kleffnotes”
