There are 8 squares, each featuring a senior team member jumping, looking earnest and silly. From left to right top, Sarah and then Riese both jump getting some serious air, Carmen stands delicately, Kamala jumps with her tongue sticking out. From left to right on the bottom, Rachel stands still, not jumping eyes closed and smiling, Nicole jumps but not as high as Sarah and Riese, Heather sits in a chair looking at the viewer and finally Laneia smiles with adoration and clutches her heart.

Letter From the Editor: Fresh Vision for Autostraddle

The heart of my new vision for Autostraddle is pretty simple: make more space for lesbians and queer people — especially people of color — to be our entire selves and to be known for the multi-dimensional ways we move in the world. We are the ultimate authority on our culture, who we are and how we live. This is a home for us.

Two women sit in a coffee shop looking at a computer screen. A woman with brown skin and black curly hair holds a coffee cup and smiles while a woman with white skin and reddish brown hair on the left also looks at the computer and smiles. The woman on the left wears a collared shirt, the woman on the right, denim. They give off queer vibes.
