links for queerfolk, feminists, and women

Announcement and actual Interactive Feminist Bingo Card. (I would actually call this an anti-feminism bingo card; it's the arguments against feminist issues that you may encounter.)
I saw one of these Imagine More Than Marriage stickers on a light pole today, which made me very happy. (Yeah, they don't really have a blog yet, but that's what it looked like.) My state may manage to keep our equal marriage law this November, which would be great, but let's keep dreaming and pushing. Between that and the "sissies rule" graffiti all over the U District, I'm having a pretty affirming vandalism experience lately.
[ETA] Also, Sarah Rees Brennan's Real Lady Sleuths post made me extremely gleeful several times. I recommend it. Also her new book, Unspoken. I didn't care for the Demon's Lexicon books, but this is breezy-funny like her blog writing, Gothic, and centered on a self-proclaimed girl reporter. I admit the half-Japanese main character is named Kami, for which there is no excuse, and that she couldn't resist calling a chapter "Underwater Light." But it also had a romance that completely blindsided me on page 260, which is rare and precious, and there are queer characters. Also psychic kids and magic. Fun and worth the read.
