[intersex-support]

hello! i newly figured out i am intersex, however i haven't been able to find much content talking about intersex experience, history or community, when i first realized i was queer originally i found a lot of content like that and found it helpful, and i was wondering if there's any recommendations you might be willing to give about any content on being intersex or intersex creators who you think people should know about!

Hey!

This ask honestly made me really happy, because when I was searching for people and resources to share with you, I realized how much stuff has been created in the past 5 years. When I was diagnosed as intersex, I felt like there was so much less stuff than there even is now, so it makes me really happy to know there is more stuff, even if it's still hard to find.

Some of the things I've put on this list are outdated or might include perspectives that I don't completely love, but might include important historical context. It is also a very US centric and English language centric resource, although I have linked to organizations in other countries and would love if people added on recommendations to intersex resources in a variety of languages. As always, take what resonates with you and leave behind the rest!

Három énekes három nyelven egy célért, a gyermekekért énekel az év karácsonyi dalában

A közös zenélés támogató, segítő, felemelő és összekötő erejét mutatja meg a Csendes éj különleges feldolgozása, melyben lovári, angol és magyar nyelven csendül fel a klasszikus ünnepi dal. A december 6-án debütált felvételen Lakatos Mónika, Nótár Mary, Takács Nikolas és a Szent Efrém Férfikar mellett a Közös hang programban résztvevő gyerekek és mentortanáraik zenélnek.

2019 Hugo Award finalists announced

The 2019 Hugo Award nominees have been announced; the Hugos will be presented this summer at the 2019 World Science Fiction Convention in Dublin, Ireland.

Normally, I find that I've read and reviewed a huge slice of the year's finalists, but this year is different; I've done a lot less reading lately, partly because I wrote two books in 2018 and partly because the new EU Copyright Directive ate my life for about 10 months in the past year.

I was a little sad to be so far behind the curve when I saw the new list, but then I realized that this meant that I had a bunch of really exciting books to add to my to-be-read pile!

One notable inclusion: the Archive of Our Own fanfic archive -- a project of the Organization for Transformative Works (for whose advisory board I volunteer) -- is up for "Best Related Work."

Congrats to all the nominees!

Sunspot Jungle: The Ever-Expanding Universe of Science Fiction and Fantasy.

I hope people enjoy reading it as much as I've enjoyed putting it together.”

Rosarium plans to run a Kickstarter campaign in February for a special hardcover edition of the anthology that will only be available to the supporters of the campaign. The paperback edition of Vol. 1 will be released in the fall of 2018 with the follow-up edition to be released in the spring of 2019.

Reviews of our other anthologies include: 

“Groundbreaking speculative fiction anthology that showcases the work from some of the most talented writers inside and outside speculative fiction across the globe.” – Mothership: Tales from Afrofuturism and Beyond, Atlanta BlackStar 

“The Sea Is Ours opens the boundaries of what steampunk is, and it's a frequently beautiful and often sharp read.”  NY Journal of Books on The SEA is Ours: Tales from Steampunk Southeast Asia

“Here’s a tribute anthology to one of the greatest living science fiction authors, including works by Junot Diaz, Eileen Gunn, Chesya Burke, Nalo Hopkinson and Geoff Ryman, which play with sexual identity and race, while some essays also celebrate Delany’s work. Publishers Weekly gave this book a starred review, and SFSignal says these stories “honor the man of the hour in many of his facets without ever falling into kitsch or fawning.” i09 on Stories for Chip: A Tribute to Samuel R. Delany

Thompson, Nato, author. Seeing power : art and activism in the 21st century. In our chaotic world of co-opted imagery, does art still have power? A fog of images and information permeates the world nowadays: from advertising, television, radio, and film to the glut produced by the new economy and the rise of social media . . . where even our friends suddenly seem to be selling us the ultimate product: themselves. Here, Nato Thompson-one of the country's most celebrated young curators and critics-investigates what this deluge means for those dedicated to socially engaged art and activism. How can anyone find a voice and make change in a world flooded with such pseudo-art? How are we supposed to discern what's true in the product emanating from the ceaseless machine of consumer capitalism, a machine that appropriates from art history, and now from the methods of grassroots political organizing and even social networking? Thompson's invigorating answers to those questions highlights the work of some of the most innovative and interesting artists and activists working today, as well as institutions that empower their communities to see power and reimagine it. From cooperative housing to anarchist infoshops to alternative art venues, Seeing Power reveals ways that art today can and does inspire innovation and dramatic transformation . . . perhaps as never before.

Carson, Anne, 1950- author. Float. First edition. Anne Carson consistently dazzles with her inventive, shape-shifting work and the vividness of her imagination. Float reaches an even greater level of brilliance and surprise. Presented in an arrestingly original format--individual chapbooks that can be read in any order, and that float inside a transparent case--this collection conjures a mix of voices, time periods, and structures to explore what makes people, memories, and stories "maddeningly attractive" when observed in spaces that are suggestively in-between. One can begin with Carson contemplating Proust on a frozen Icelandic plain, or on the art-saturated streets of downtown New York City. Or journey to the peak of Mount Olympus, where Zeus ponders his own afterlife. Or find a chorus of Gertrude Steins performing an essay about falling--a piece that also unearths poignant memories of Carson's own father and great-uncle in rural Canada. And a poem called "Wildly Constant" piercingly explores the highs and lows of marriage and monogamy, distilled in a wife's waking up her husband from the darkness of night, and asking him to make them eggs for breakfast.

Oliver, Mary, 1935- author. Upstream : selected essays. "In the beginning I was so young and such a stranger to myself I hardly existed. I had to go out into the world and see it and hear it and react to it, before I knew at all who I was, what I was, what I wanted to be." So begins Upstream, a collection of essays in which beloved poet Mary Oliver reflects on her willingness, as a young child and as an adult, to lose herself within the beauty and mysteries of both the natural world and the world of literature. Emphasizing the significance of her childhood 'friend' Walt Whitman, through whose work she first understood that a poem is a temple, 'a place to enter, and in which to feel,' and who encouraged her to vanish into the world of her writing, Oliver meditates on the forces that allowed her to create a life for herself out of work and love. As she writes, 'I could not be a poet without the natural world. Someone else could. But not me. For me the door to the woods is the door to the temple.' Upstream follows Oliver as she contemplates the pleasure of artistic labor, her boundless curiosity for the flora and fauna that surround her, and the responsibility she has inherited from Shelley, Wordsworth, Emerson, Poe, and Frost, the great thinkers and writers of the past, to live thoughtfully, intelligently, and to observe with passion. Throughout this collection, Oliver positions not just herself upstream but us as well as she encourages us all to keep moving, to lose ourselves in the awe of the unknown, and to give power and time to the creative and whimsical urges that live within us.

Fog of war : the Second World War and the civil rights movement. It is well known that World War II gave rise to human rights rhetoric, discredited a racist regime abroad, and provided new opportunities for African Americans to fight, work, and demand equality at home. It would be all too easy to assume that the war was a key stepping stone to the modern civil rights movement. But Fog of War shows that in reality the momentum for civil rights was not so clear cut, with activists facing setbacks as well as successes and their opponents finding ways to establish more rigid defenses for segregation. While the war set the scene for a mass movement, it also narrowed some of the options for black activists. This collection is a timely reconsideration of the intersection between two of the dominant events of twentieth-century American history, the upheaval wrought by the Second World War and the social revolution brought about by the African American struggle for equality.

Vance, J. D., author. Hillbilly elegy : a memoir of a family and culture in crisis. First edition. Vance, a former marine and Yale Law School graduate, provides an account of growing up in a poor Rust Belt town that offers a broader, probing look at the struggles of America's white working class. The decline of this group, a demographic of our country that has been slowly disintegrating over forty years, has been reported on with growing frequency and alarm. J. D. Vance tells the true story of what a social, regional, and class decline feels like when you were born with it hung around your neck. The Vance family story begins hopefully in postwar America. J. D.'s grandparents were "dirt poor and in love," and moved north from Kentucky's Appalachia region to Ohio in the hopes of escaping the dreadful poverty around them. They raised a middle-class family, and eventually their grandchild (the author) would graduate from Yale Law School, a conventional marker of their success in achieving generational upward mobility. But as the family saga of Hillbilly Elegy plays out, we learn that this is only the short, superficial version. Vance's grandparents, aunt, uncle, sister, and, most of all, his mother, struggled profoundly with the demands of their new middle-class life, and were never able to fully escape the legacy of abuse, alcoholism, poverty, and trauma so characteristic of their part of America.

Bagossy László- Takács Mari: A Sötétbenlátó Tündér

Nálunk ez a történet fordított pályát járt be. A Szabó Ervin könyvtárban akadt rá a lányom nagyjából két évvel ezelőtt, amikor még nem tudott olvasni. Belelapozott a kedvcsinálónak kipakolt könyvekbe és a Sötétbenlátó Tündér képei magával ragadták. Nem is akart tovább válogatni, vigyük rögtön a könyvtáros néninek aztán haza olvasni, kérte.

Aznap este megint elhúzódott az esti meseolvasás.  Olyan kellenes ritmusban hömpölygött a mesebeszéd, hogy én is hallani akartam a végét. Sokszor olvastuk újra és mindig ugyanúgy magával ragadott.

A Világszép Nádszálkisasszonyt kelti életre Bagossy László, író és Takács Mari, illusztrátor. Ez a Nádszálkisasszony, akit most Málnácskának hívnak az Örkény Színházban született. A történet színdarabként kezdte pályafutását, ezt követte később az álomképes mesekönyv.

A tündérek a képességükröl kapják nevüket….

"Aki a legszebben lobogtatja a tüzet:

annak a Tűz Lobogtató Tündér dukál,

aki a havat a legszebben görgeti,

annak a Hó Görgető Tündér

gyönyörűséges neve jár."

A legkisebb tündérgyereket mindenki csak Pirinyi Minyónanak hívja, mert még Ő maga sem tudja miben lehetne Ő a legügyesebb háromszáz testvérkéje között. Egy este az illatos turbolya szirmai közt, mikor már minden pici tündér alszik, Pirinyó Minyó reszketve ül ágyacskájában. Amikor majd anyukája visszazárja gyűrűjébe a fényt, akkor számára a félelmei képet öltenek, látja minden gondolatát. Ekkor édesanyja az ölébe emeli és  próbát tesz vele. Elmondja neki Málnácska történetét, aki a világon a legszebb királykisasszony és csak arra vár egy üveg lekvárban, hogy Tökmag, a legkisebb királyfi eljöjjön érte. Pirinyó Minyó számára életre kelnek a szavak, a gondolatok és  kis szeme előtt Málnácska meséjének képei peregnek…. és már nem fél a sötétben. Ezen az estén elnyeri tündérnevét és így lesz Ő a Sötétben Látó Tündér.

A színpadon Pogány Judit mesél. Mikor szétmegy a függöny egy pici faszéken ül a tündér, aki egyszer régen Pirinyó Minyó volt, de mostmár háromezer éves, ujján van édesanyja gyémántköves gyűrűje amibe a fény zárja, Ő mondja a mesét, a saját történetét, és Málnácska történetét ahogy Ő is hallotta azon a nevezetes téli éjszakán . És miközben Ő mesél valóban életre kel a mese, látjuk amit Ő látott , törpét, farkas, sárkányt és mindenféle csuda dolgot. Pisszenés sincs a teremben, szinte együtt lélegzik pici és nagy, mindenkit elragad mese varázsa. 

A díszletek, a lilliputi ember, a két husky kutya, akikről egy percig sem gondoljuk, hogy nem farkasok, a zene és a világítás és az egész darab origója Pogány Judit felejthetetlen élményt nyújtanak. Ezért a csodáért megyünk el a színházba.

Nyilván nem véletlen, hogy az Örkényben állították színpadra Málnácska meséjét. A kamaraszínház méretei tökeletes keretet adnak a művészek játékához ebben a daraban.

Álljon itt még egy idézet, mert ennél szebben nem tudnám befejezni: 

"- Anyácskám, miből áll

egy Sötétben Látó Tündér tudománya ?

Tündéranyám pedig így válaszolt:

- Biztatnia kell azokat,

akik félnek az éjszakától,

biztatnia kell azokat,

akik félnek a semmit-se-tudástól,

és biztatnia kell azokat,

akik félnek a meghalástól.

- És mire van szüksége ahhoz,

hogy mindezeket szépen csinálja ?

- Három dologra:

képzeletre,

szeretetre,

és bátorságra."
