Here are updates to our current financial situation. Still, the essentials of everything we’ve been saying for years are true. Fundraising is a part of our business model!

This year for Trans Awareness Week, I wanted us to focus on recent trans history. Autostraddle itself is part of that history.

This is more than a workplace where they’ll notify HR and we’ll all be polite about my pronouns.

Carmen suggested once that we become the “Gay Strategist” and I love this idea for us.

We live in a time when you can see yourself reflected in all kinds of media, from all kinds of corporations, who never liked to talk about us before. But when you click on those things, you are giving people money who are not part of our community.

You ALL came together to get us to $100,000 and we believe you can get us to $50,000 more. 79% of the donations that made $100,000 possible were $50 or less! We mean it when we say that this is an effort of everyone coming together and donating what they can to make a huge difference. Together, you and we are powerful. We can make change happen. Let’s never forget that.

After more than five years at Autostraddle, Yvonne is stepping down as senior editor. But before she goes, she wanted to take some time to reflect on her time here and to thank the incredible team and community that she’s had the pleasure of getting to know over the years.

And so we talked all night about the rest of our lives…

The rise of social media and the triumph of trolls has led many popular websites to shut down comments or let them spiral into extinction. NOT US.

Greetings Queers, and Happy Election Day! Welcome to our Feelings Thread / Election Day Party Live Blog. Are you excited? I’m excited.

OH MY GOD WHAT DAY IS IT?! We better check the Autostraddle Calendar, ’cause Brandy Howard has her shirt off and we’re doing April and May AT THE SAME TIME!!

Autostraddle needs: 1. money, 2. people who know how to get more money. Businessey addy type people. Details inside.

We’re getting fancy this year with our Calendar Girls, where we bring you monthly behind-the-scenes videos and photos. This month it’s all about Luna and Michelle! See what March is all about. Cause it’s fuckin’ hot.

We’re getting fancy this year with a kick-ass behind-the-scenes video, some behind-the-scenes photos and some preview shots of January and February’s girls.

This shit don’t pay for itself.
