FY Lesbian Literature!

For literature about anyone who doesn't identify as a man and is romantically and/or sexually attracted to others who don't identify as men (not necessarily exclusively). Also, for pictures of said people with books.

This definition includes lesbians, but also bisexual or pansexual women and genderqueer people.

This is a trans*-, genderqueer-, asexual-, intersex-, bisexual-, pansexual-, and queer-friendly tumblr, or at least tries to be (feel free to tell me off if it isn't).

I also run the lesbian book blog The Lesbrary and my personal tumblr is danikathelesbrarian.

Please submit anything that's included in this definition. If not, expect a lot of Willow & Tara from Buffy and Xena & Gabrielle with literature spam.

The Queen of Spades

takinginthememory:

Hopeless heart that thrives on paradox; that longs for the beloved and is secretly relieved when the beloved is not there. That gnaws away at the night-time hours desperate for a sign and appears at breakfast so self-composed. That longs for certainty, fidelity, compassion, and plays roulette with anything precious.

Gambling is not a vice, it is an expression of our humanness.

We gamble. Some do it at the gaming table some do not.

You play, you win, you play, you lose. You play.

Excerpt from The Passion by Jeanette Winterson
