If you would like to help us spread the word about the anthology or have opportunities to advertise at your organization/institution, we have good news! We’ve made page-size posters that should be easy to print out using any black and white or grayscale printer. You’re free to print these out and put them up anywhere you want – at your school, neighborhood, etc. (The figures of women in the posters have been edited from cutouts and drawings by Matisse.)

We’ve been teasing at it for months, and it’s finally time to show our hand.
Beyond will be returning for a second edition. This time we’re bringing you The Beyond Anthology: Queer Urban Fantasy and Post-Apocalypse edition.
Explore the back alley faery circles of modern magic with urban fantasy, and then follow things to the ragged, rusty edge of the end of the earth with post-apocalypse, in another volume of unquestionably queer sci-fi and fantasy comics.
Submissions will open soon.
In the meantime: follow beyondanthology.com and beyondanthology on twitter for updates and to be first to know when accepting submissions goes live.
I know there’s other ways people think of Frisk’s gender, but agender is my personal favorite, for reasons. Have a dose of validation, kiddies; I know I need it.
what do you guys think of the new Life Outside The Binary logo?
[this was the old logo^]
I really liked the idea of using the comet symbol [☄] as a nonbinary symbol as suggested in this post, and I thought the old logo was too similar to the general trans logo and didnt really have anything in it for people who identify as a gender completely off the spectrum. I feel like this symbol is better looking and more expansive, but let me know what you think!
“Popular music is built upon artists that have toyed with the gender
binary. The influence of musicians like Prince, Wendy Carlos, and
Genesis P-Orridge on the musical landscape is especially being felt in
the modern age, where gender has become a much more openly discussed
topic.
Artists that identify as transgender or non-binary are finally
beginning to see an increased acceptance in the musical world.
However this acceptance does not immediately equal an open door, which
many of these artists are still fighting to kick open. The cisnormative
lens of popular music keeps these musicians fighting for attention.
It’s important to highlight artists existing in certain minorities,
as other people belonging to these groups can see themselves and see
someone with a similar identity existing successfully. There is hope in
recognition, and mainstream music is often very exclusive when it comes
to someone who is not straight, cis, or white. Personally, I identify as
nonbinary, and it is comforting to see musicians like me being
successful in their fields.”
Stupidpoop is going to start updating Tues and Saturday from now on! Genderfluid bug returns and finds love! Hooray adorable nonbinary queer relationships!
