A rectangular collage graphic of the current Autostraddle team with the text “100” on top. The background is a grid of 100 grainy photos in black and white of the faces of the staff and writers. There are small squares in lime green, bright orange, fuchsia, and cyan colors overlayed on top of the photos as if to color the photo. On top of the photo grid is the text “100" in large wide chunky font with a thin white outline. The text is filled with a white and blue gradient that appears to be glowing. The letters radiate a lavender gradient noise shadow that fades into transparency so the photos behind can be seen. Team members shown in the collage are: Riese Bernard, Carmen Phillips, Anya Richkind, Nico Hall, Kayla Kumari Upadhyaya, Heather Hogan, Viv Le, Laneia Jones, Tracy Levesque, Ro White, Shelli Nicole, Vanessa Friedman, A.Tony Jerome, Abeni Jones, Amari Gaiter, Analyssa Lopez, Ashni Mehta, Casey Stepaniuk, Christina Tucker, Dani Janae, Darcy Cooper, Drew Gregory, Em Win, Himani, Julie Gentile, KaeLyn Rich, Katie Reilly, Lily Alvarado, Meg Jones Wall, Niko Stratis, Sa’iyda Shabazz, Sally Neate, shea martin, Stef Rubino, Valerie Anne, Yash Canter.

This image features a giant 3D tongue art installation that used to hang at Carol's Speakeasy. The lips are red and shiny, the teeth are large and white, and the tongue is pink and sticking out of the mouth. Five queer volunteers at the archive pose around the tongue, smiling and laughing with this piece of queer history.
