back to blogging and “this week in gender bending”

The genderpanic hiatus has ended!  We have both moved to Seattle (land of misty rain, nice people, and excessive quantities of caffeinated beverages).  We will definitely continue creating and posting to genderpanic and will hopefully do so more regularly now that we’ve settled in a bit.  Panda’s been busy crafting coinpurses again, and I’ve been busy reading books by Ivan Coyote (just finished The Slow Fix), in anticipating of attending hir bookreading in the Seattle area in mid-November.

If you’re a member of Facebook you can get involved with the HRC by adding their “Conversations from the Heart” facebook application, where you can donate your status to update about National Coming Out Day and join in the conversation.  I definitely recommend becoming a fan of the HRC page on Facebook as well, as they post important updates about what’s going on politically and legally for LGBT persons in the US.
