🐭 Annual report of the New Jersey State Museum Trenton, N.J.: MacCrellish & Quigley, State Printers, 1902-1915. Original source Image description: Illustration labeled Plate 24 from the 1902-1915 New Jersey State Museum report, showing top-down views of two mice species side by side. On the left is the Meadow Mouse (Microtus pennsylvanicus), and on the right is the Northern Pine Mouse (Microtus pinetorum scalopsoides). Both mice are depicted at natural size with detailed fur texture, narrow heads, and small ears. The Meadow Mouse has a noticeably longer tail compared to the shorter tail of the Northern Pine Mouse. The legs and feet of both mice are visible, highlighting differences in limb length and structure. The illustration is a scientific comparison of these two rodent species.

Rummaging through a charity shop in the early 1980s, historian and documentarian Alan Dein stumbled upon a strange old comic. Costing him just 10p, the comic has since led him on “a remarkable journey” in the form of a decades-long passion project. Titled Candy, Andy and the Bearandas, the comic, as it turned out, was devised by Century 21, a production studio founded by Gerry Anderson, who with Sylvia Anderson created iconic 1960s TV shows Thunderbirds, Stingray and Captain Scarlet. Like those shows, Candy used puppets but this time life-size, and existing in a wholly more realistic universe – a picture-perfect English village, albeit one where two humanoid panda bears are raising two (unwittingly) creepy plastic children.

It's Nice That.

🦜 Histoire naturelle et générale des grimpereaux et des oiseaux de paradis /. Paris: Desray, an XI = 1802.. Original source Image description: Illustration of a bird of paradise perched on a thin, angled branch. The bird is shown in profile with detailed, layered feathers covering its body, wings, and tail. It has a slender, pointed beak, a textured head with a small crest of feathers above the eye, and sharp claws gripping the branch. The image is a black and white engraving from 1802, emphasizing fine feather patterns and naturalistic textures. Below the bird is the handwritten French title “Le Superbe. Pl. 7.” against a plain background.

We just uploaded all 6 issues of Volume 9 of On Our Backs to the Internet Archive! We've been fortunate enough to have the opportunity to digitize a large collection of issues and have been slowly working through what we have, and we're hoping to upload more before long, and we're so excited to make more issues accessible to people online again!

If you know anything about the magazine's history since it was discontinued, you know there's been a lot of fighting over censorship and who has the right to access these essential pieces of S/M dyke culture. We'd love to post these and have no problem preserving access to them over time, but we want to plan for the possibility of censorship, so we want to ask for your help.

Download the files to these issues, and any other issue you can find (the rest of the publicly available issues we're aware of are included in our pinned post), save the file to an external hard drive, post it as a separate upload in other archives or anywhere you know of to share files like these. Make art from the scans, share screenshots on social media, show your friends. We'd love a link to help people find our archive and our page to support our work and see what else we do, but the important thing is that we get these scans to as many places as possible so it's impossible to completely wipe them off the internet.

Leather is an inherently anti-assimilationist queer subculture, something we need very badly these days. On Our Backs is probably the biggest set of cultural materials we have, and it'll be gone if we don't protect it.
