along with transcript submissions, would you accept translation submissions? i'm currently translating the first issue into spanish, so i was wondering if i could submit this and other translated issues.
Translations are welcome!
I also apologize to those still following this blog attentively for updates—the majority of the team is extensively occupied with personal life affairs & subsequently (at least for me) difficult to get in contact with, so not much new has been happening our end.
I hopefully will be able to pick up the reins a bit in terms of transcription in the not too far future (I am still homeless trying to find housing, so bear with me here).

I've been adding the entries of Anything That Moves to The Storygraph (a book logging website (similar to goodreads) created by a Black woman) and if anyone wants to help, that'd be much appreciated!

genuinely amazing work, both as a way to preserve our history + educate ourselves. are you (collective) still open to new volunteers or donations ?
Hi! As far as volunteering, anyone is welcome to submit transcriptions of any of the issues and we will review it and credit you for transcribing! You can see what we've already got/what's in progress on this page.
As for donations, we don’t have any collective fund for the archive, so below I have listed a few tumblr friends in need and a few organizations local to some members that are always in need of donations!

Are you accepting submissions of transcripts?
Anybody is welcome to transcribe issues on their own time and submit them to the blog if they wish. Issues that are already transcribed or are in the process of completion are listed in our carrd.
- Kravitz
Apparently our carrd made it to the Wikipedia page for the ATM magazine... pretty dope!
- Kravitz
For those who have sent us asks/emails in the past few months: We are working on answering y’all soon. Aside from busyness in our personal lives we’ve also been having significant issues with member access to the blog and its associated email. Also, happy pride!

Hey there! I’m looking for resources on gender and bisexuality. I understand my gender as being bisexual (~genderfluidity) but I’d like to know of other people’s experiences to help me figure stuff out
Hey anon! I think the magazine might be a good place to start, just click the link in our pinned post, there are a lot of articles on bisexuality and gender in there. If you're looking for more recent resources, I can find some for you too.
a YouTube channel I recommend is verilybitchie
also not to recommend one of our own mods but Kravitz writes articles on bisexuality that might be useful to you. He's Kravitz M. on medium and I recommend this article as a good start bc it's one of my favourites

Bisexual Politics: Theories, Queries and Visions, 1995, is also a good read in general. Here's a download link.

Hi! What do you think about the things that appeared on the ATM, like “byke”?
Hi anon! I don’t think my personal opinion matters that much when it comes to archiving ATM. I’m here to preserve a vibrant piece of bisexual history—not to broadcast my opinions on slur reclamation and slang. If “byke” is a part of bi history, then I’m all for it!
-Tony
byke was a pretty common term and ive come across it in other bi books etc, so it wasnt a word coined by atm i dont think. honestly i think the word byke is totally fine and i defend its usage
- Brodie
I feel like you can make many cheesy bisexual jokes with it. I lack further opinion.

hi hi thank you so much for compiling these resources!! i was just wondering if by any chance you have the 1990 issue?? the one that originally includes the "bisexual manifesto"?
The first issue (dubbed the “premier issue” on the cover) was actually published in 1991. I assume the original ATM manifesto, prior to magazine publication, was written in 1990 (the short version most people are familiar with is on the ATM website), but every single issue of the mag has a longer version of that manifesto on the inside cover (with a slight edit from 1993 onward).
We assume the 1990 date refers to the year the publication was founded rather than the year the first issue was released.

is it possible for you to share a link to a zip file (or to the google drive link that allows us to download the whole folder) of all the issues at once?
We have two zips (split by years) with every issue for download.

hey, do you by any chance still need people to help with the transcription? and if so, where do I sign up?
We appreciate the help. Things have been slow lately.
I’ll notify the other mods. I’m not sure if they have their own screening process but if things are okayed then you’ll be sent an invite to the archive server :)

there is a typo in the "scans we need" page, there should be a space in "issue4"
Thanks for catching that! I’ll notify those with access to the carrd.

Here is your average bisexual ICT undergrad, I can help with that :D Optical Character Recognition is one of the earliest and most reliable applications of artificial intelligence. If you have high-quality scans of the magazines, you could run them through OCR and then simply proofread the results. Tesseract is a free and open source ocr program that comes with pre-trained neurons. I've been using it on linux for years and it works pretty well.
Thank you!
- Kravitz
Hi! Are you using OCR to speed to the transcribing?
I don’t think anyone on the mod team knows what OCR is. After just googling it, though, it looks interesting. I’ll notify them about this potential option; thanks for bringing it to our attention!

“My mama is a very smart woman. When I was 12 years old and I told her I was bisexual, all she said was, “Fine. As long as they don’t look like truck drivers.” I don’t mean that she was smart because she didn’t want me to date butch girls. She was smart because I think she knew that I was going to do it anyway. I was going to grow up to be a femme. “
