A five-image grid with two squares on top and three on the bottom, all featuring cropped art of dogs from the We've Always Been Here zine. All are rendered in very different styles, two are traditional art while three are digital, and they are in a wide variety of poses.

Throughout our zine's Kickstarter, we'll be sharing collections of queer and cultural identities (and some other themes) featured in the book!

But, to start, let's show off some of the dogs of the zine! Aren't they all so cute? 🐶

A 1944 map by geologist Harold Fisk charts a 40-mile stretch of the Mississippi River from Friars Point to Gunnison, Mississippi. Fisk used aerial photos and maps to estimate the past and then-present channels.

Rivers are living beings.

A graphic with a large yellow banner in the middle announcing "Live on Kickstarter! We've Always Been Here: A queer historical zine." The bottom text is in a rainbow gradient with little rainbows framing the box. Above this is a mockup of the book's cover alongside some page mockups, and the bottom half features three other illustration previews.

👀👀👀

An open spread of the front and back covers of the book. On the right side is the front cover, where two masculine characters lean against each other, with a yellow burst of light highlighting their hands that hold each other. The title reads, "We've Always Been Here." On the back cover, another couple dances in front of a barn where a man plays the fiddle. The Metis flag hangs on the top of the barn. A text box on the back with gold decoration reads: "We’ve Always Been Here is a collaborative art book with over 50 artists illustrating scenes of queer joy throughout history, all across the world. This is a mock-up of the full cover design (illustrated by Nightgalen) and this back text is subject to change. Our Kickstarter launches March 3! In a time of rising queerphobia and erasure, this zine aims to bring hope and joy to the LGBTQ+ community, and reminds us that we’ve always been here, and always will be."

"We've Always Been Here" cover reveal time! 🎉

As we prepare for our Kickstarter in March, we wanted to reveal our gorgeous wrap-around cover illustrated by @nightgalen.bsky.social showing a queer Indigenous Métis couple!

A banner of two masculine characters leaning up against a birch tree. The one on the left is an Indigenous man wearing a vest covered in beadwork, and the one on the right has paler skin and orange hair, wearing a blue shirt with tassels on the chest. Both have soft expressions as they hold hands. Gold decorations frame the corners of the image, and the text "We've Always Been Here" takes over the right side in flowy, mock-gold text. A small note in the corner also reads, "Work in Progress Image."

Help Improve A New Adult Autism Screening Tool Researchers want to improve a new adult autism screening tool, the Reuben-Ackland Autism Inventory (RAAI). We want to interview autistic adults about how we can improve the RAAI. For example, we want to know if questions should be shorter or use different words. You can participate if: • You are an adult (18+) • You are diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder • You speak English • You can consent to participate in research without a legal guardian What does the study involve? • A 1-to-2-hour Zoom interview • You can speak out loud or type into the chat • You will be shown questions from the RAAI and asked how we can make them better You can participate in this study alone, or you can participate with a parent or another adult who knows you well. We want to hear from many types of autistic adults, including autistic adults with intellectual disability or difficulty talking. Participants will be given a $50 Tango gift card as thanks. For more information, contact: Katherine Reuben, MPH kreuben1@gsu.eduO

I need your help you handsome and gorgeous lot. A friend of mine is an autistic adult & PhD student in Public Health at Georgia State University. She has developed a new adult autism screening tool with another autistic adult, Dorothy Ackland.

Hello everyone. I am very sorry to ask, but my mother just tried to end herself. Apparently there are no toxicologists in my city, we have been to three ERs already. I am begging, please, for car fare to try to get her to a bigger hospital. Thank you so much

A detailed watercolor full body painting of the angel Kokabiel. He has white pants and Indigenous jewelry, with shoulder-length blue and turquoise hair, multicolored head wings, and two back wings with blue, green, and pink feathers. The background is a painted nebula with some glowing and shooting stars.

A detailed watercolor painting of a dark-winged angel with brown skin and hair holding his injured lover on his lap. The injured angel has brown skin and hair, with damaged lavender wings and chest bandages. They rest together in the clouds, stained purple and yellow from a sunlight glow behind them.

An intricate watercolor painting of a reclining masculine figure with dark wings in barely any clothing, except stockings, underwear, and a translucently painted silky pink shawl. He has medium brown skin, curly brown hair, and is crushing a rose onto his chest with a lifted and gloved hand. Giant pink orchids, painted with lovely realism, surround him. Some pink fabric falls to the right side, and detailed hand painted blue lace fills the background.

A half body portrait painting in watercolor of Nzuzi and Nsimba, two male Congolese twins, posed together at a club. The soft purple lighting highlights their dark skin and timid smiles. Nzuzi is in the front making a peace sign, in a semi-see-through white shirt and pearl necklace, with bright blue lipstick, gold eyeshadow, and gold hair jewelry in his long dreadlocks. Nismba is behind him with a hand on Nzuzi’s shoulder, bare chested with purple and blue paint on him. He has short-ish twists with an ombre dye of turquoise, a glow stick around his neck, and some burn scars around his upper face, including his eyes, which are a pale blue and have a unique shape from the scarring.

digital color sketch of my OC Lance, a Filipino transmasc teen, flipping a middle finger while raising up a bloodied boot on one leg. He leans on a cane with antique inlay-style patterns and is wearing half a black polo over a white coast guard sleeveless shirt. In the background are the letters RIP and other vertical acronyms filling empty space
