My Gender is [NOT] Human Zine is now available for download!

Xenogender: A gender that cannot be contained by human understandings of gender; more concerned with crafting other methods of gender categorization and hierarchy such as those relating to animals, plants, or other creatures/things.

This zine is a collection of artwork, writing and more created by alterhumans and nonhumans to express both their species identity, gender, and how they intersect. While this zine has an xenogender slant, everyone who had something to share about how their species and gender overlap were encouraged to submit pieces!

We created this zine to be an accessible pdf.


And yes, some of my genders are nonhuman.  Especially the corkscrew.  \o/

Today is the last day to donate points for the point drive that yourlibrarian is hosting.  Tomorrow a new post will appear for people who want to receive points.  This provides a chance to buy a rename token, extra icons, try out the paid account with extra features, and other fun things that Dreamwidth offers.

See my gather post for more about Three Weeks for Dreamwidth and the various things people are doing to celebrate it.  A bunch of new stuff has gone up since the event started, so if you haven't checked in a few days, do that now.

A Different Stroke is a multilingual gift exchange open to all languages and fandoms.

Fandom is, in our experience, a very anglocentric community and while it’s awesome that this gives us the opportunity to read and write fics from and for people from all over the world, we should also get to celebrate other languages and share them with our friends.
