Hopefully this works, I’ve never tried to share a google drive link before so I’m not sure if I did it right. Anyway if you weren’t aware since the start of January I have been working on a magazine for my senior project that is meant for autistic people and by autistic people. I have received a lot of contributions from other autistic people on my blog in the form of submissions to sections like the positivity section for example, art for the art section, and articles. Most of the magazine was done via submissions from other autistic people. Except for the school advice section which I wrote based on my own experience, and the autistic celebrity and autistic character sections which I wrote myself after doing research. Last week I turned it in at the end of my final class (and I got an A on the magazine by the way 😊).
That’s awesome!! It turned out great!!

OutWeek Magazine was the seminal lesbian and gay publication during the peak era of AIDS activism in the late 80s and early 90s.
Founded by Gabriel Rotello and Kendall Morrison, it employed a staff of about 30 people in Manhattan during its tumultuous two-year existence.
OutWeek redefined the role of the activist gay press, not only by reporting the news but also by frequently making news itself. Its aggressive coverage, incisive commentary and in-depth investigative articles on gay rights, politics, AIDS, the arts and popular culture made it a must-read publication far beyond the usual scope of gay magazines.
Several of the most contentious controversies of that era were sparked by OutWeek. The magazine pioneered the use of the word ‘queer,’ which was highly controversial at the time. It was closely associated with the AIDS activist group ACT UP, and several of its staffers and contributors helped to co-found the group Queer Nation.
Many of OutWeek’s editors were committed to sharply challenging the then-pervasive culture of the closet, and a sideline of that commitment – the advocacy of ‘outing’ prominent gay and lesbian celebrities – began in Michelangelo Signorile’s “Gossip Watch” column and was one of many things that made OutWeek a household name and a lightning rod.
OutWeek was committed to an inclusive vision of queer life, and was the first major national publication to bill itself as a ‘lesbian and gay’ magazine.
this is a really exciting resource! especially if you’ve ever wished you could get a better view into gay/queer/lgbt activist culture in the early ’90s, you gotta check this out
