Happy 10th Birthday Autostraddle!
Can you even?? Ten entire years?! A+ members, without you, truly not a single year of this would’ve been possible. So many of you have been here since the doors were opened, before A+ was even a concept. So many of you have brought your friends and future exes and straight family members and encouraged them to support queer independent media. So many of you have made donations, shared our work, supported each other in these comments and found each other offline. I’m EMOTIONAL about what we’ve all built here together, and if you think I won’t have to stop working to cry about it at least 20 times today and maybe more this weekend, you’re new here AND I WELCOME YOU WITH THESE OPEN ARMS.
This Ask Us Anything / Advice-a-Thon is our way of saying 🎉 thank you for everything! 🥳 We have 15+ Autostraddle team members ready to answer any and all of your questions over the next eight hours. All of my questions?? you say. CORRECT. Every one!
Here’s how it works:
You comment below with your questions, your advice needs, your quandaries.
We, the editors and writers and illustrators of Autostraddle, reply to your comment with our answers, our advice, our solutions.
Life advice, personal questions about us, pop quizzes, professional questions about this work, settling a bet, etc. ANYTHING GOES, FRIENDS. If you want a particular person to answer your particular Q, simply type their names at the beginning of your comment. We’ll be command + f-ing our own names so we don’t miss any of these direct questions, so please make sure you’re spelling it correctly! I find using the @[screen name] approach to be useless, as most of us have strange screen names that don’t match our actual names, and probably you don’t know them, but! If you do know them and want to use that, BE MY GUEST.
In the words of me last year on this selfsame day: Let’s get going! Who’s asking the first question?? What about the third one? Who’ll ask the seventeenth? Who will be brave and bold enough to ask question number 52?!
WE LOVE YOU, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!
