Genderqueer Links and Books
The following are link and book recommendations, all evaluated myself, as helpful resources that relate to genderqueer and non-binary concepts and identities. If there is a resource you would like to suggest, please use the GQID submit form (select Submit a Link from the drop-down or copy and paste a list into the default text box). See also Marilyn Roxie’s genderqueer tag on Delicious. If you are instead looking for the bibliography for the Genderqueer History and Identities project, click here.

I’ve updated this yet again on site and used the reblog post format that subtlecluster had put up to share it - keep sharing and suggesting more resources that I should include!

Welp, the shit finally hit the fan.
Tyro and I have about a week and a half to move out or risk having both of us, ah, “removed” from the premises by my lovely father.
I hate to ask for donations (and those of you who have dealt with me and money before know that I really, really dislike taking money), but here’s the situation. We have absolutely no place to go, save for couch surfing with a couple of friends for a little while. I’ve got a friend calling around to see who has a spare room available that we can sleep in until we’re financially stable, but neither of us have jobs, and the places we could potentially stay are in another town, which means we’re either gonna have to stay somewhere without rent (i.e. with a friend, and pay through chores) until we can get jobs, or we’re gonna have to commute back and forth, which burns gas we also don’t have the money for.
So my plan at this point is to finish up the commissions on my plate (which are few, but a month’s worth of carpal tunnel flareups is making that difficult), reopen for proper commissions, have Tyro do the same, and possibly see about selling her car. Hopefully that’ll net us enough money to help with rent and food for wherever we end up until we can land jobs and afford our own apartment.
My paypal is neogenos@hotmail.com. Anything at all would help right now, even if it’s just a signal boost.
Reblogging myself over here because we really, really need the help.

Good thing to have.
WHAT’S THE MAGIC CURE FOR DYING OF ALLERGIES?!?!
(via lady-condom)
Have you ever wanted to be in two different places at once?
Think about this. We are all made up of matter. The very same matter that was used to create the earth, the planets, the stars. The universe. Everything is continuously being recycled. We all have a bit of stardust in us. Dust that might have once been a part of a raging orb of fire, a sphere of blue gas, a ball of ice, a soaring metallic rock, and maybe even another life form. If you really think about it, the stuff that we are made of could have once shot out into the unknown regions of space after a brilliant explosion of light. We were once supernovas. We have spanned the entire galaxy.
So forget about being in two places at once.
We are everywhere.
