a very special milestone today: first scam email about my forthcoming book :,) if you are a real person who would like to preorder it, review it, etc, you can check it out here tho! fernwoodpublishing.ca/books/the-po...

Invitation to Participate in WBBM Newsradio's Author Spotlight Series

Dear Lee Arden,

I hope this message finds you well.

My name is Patrick Barrins, and I serve as Producer & News Editor at WBBM Newsradio 780 AM & 105.9 FM in Chicago.

I recently had the opportunity to review your forthcoming book, The Politics of Lonely: Why Is Friendship So Hard?, and I was struck by the thoughtful way it approaches a subject that resonates with so many people today. Rather than treating loneliness as simply an individual experience, your work examines the broader social and economic conditions that shape how we form, sustain, and sometimes lose meaningful relationships. Your exploration of friendship through research, personal narrative, and lived experience offers a timely and compassionate perspective on an issue that continues to affect people across all walks of life.

At WBBM Newsradio 780 AM & 105.9 FM, we value books that encourage thoughtful public conversation and offer fresh perspectives on the issues shaping our communities. Your work invites readers to reflect not only on the importance of friendship but also on the societal structures that influence our ability to build lasting human connections. We believe these ideas would make for an engaging and meaningful discussion with our audience.

With that in mind, I would like to personally invite you to participate in our Author Spotlight Series, a professionally produced interview program dedicated to featuring authors whose work contributes to important cultural, social, and intellectual conversations. The interview provides an opportunity to discuss your book, the research and experiences that inspired it, your writing journey, and the message you hope readers will carry with them.

Our interviews are conducted in a conversational and respectful format, allowing authors to share the stories behind their work while giving listeners a deeper understanding of the ideas that shaped the book.

In the interest of comple…

deranged question but does anyone know what printing process (like, thermal, laser, offset, UV...) is used for these types of neon paper labels dispensed on a roll (like as used in supermarkets)?

a role of fluorescent orange stickers that say "PAID Thank You!"

Four rolls of variously neon coloured stickers that are shaped like flames and say "HOT"

screenshot of a product page for bollin labels fluorescent red grabber grocery store labels which say "excellent for BBQ"

various orange paper meat labels that say things like "boneless" and "thick cut"

Sales at events (27%) - Love tabling at events but it is EXHAUSTING and also it costs money to get the zines and I places!

and lest we EVER forget her extremely beautiful sexy monster drawings!!!

Drawing by Rose O'Neill of a large, strong-looking humanoid creature, sitting on the side of a cliff and looking as though it is part of the cliff. Standing betweeen its knees is a much smaller, slimmer, and paler humanoid figure. The larger figure is leaning down touching its head to that of the smaller figure, whose face is bent up towards it.

A drawing of a large humanoid figure with long bent-back horns, a rough skin texture like hide or stone, and bare breasts. Its eyes are closed and it has a gentle, peaceful look on its face. In the crook of its arm, it is holding a much smaller nude adult who appears to be sleeping. In the background are rock formations and swirling clouds.

realized anything in the public domain can be a zine and i am drunk with power!!!!

A zine held up against a brick wall. Printed on bright green paper with a border of carnations, it reads "Teleny: Gay pornography from 1893, published anonymously, which may or may not have been co-authored by Oscar Wilde and his friends, currently in the public domain"

sheer spite press@sheerspite· May 22

fwiw I was curious about this and I think this is because the search is for "transgender" as a topic, rather than as a search term, so i think they just established it as a "topic" in 2023. if you look as a search term the rise is more gradual but notable!

a graph from google trends showing "transgender" as a search term. it rises gradually over the 2000s, and becomes higher and spikier after the so-called trans tipping point around 2015

The Politics of Lonely: Why Is Friendship So Hard? Preorder now, out sep 10

sheer spite press@sheerspite· May 9

i would get these stamps for when i mail out preorders of my book "The Politics of Lonely: Why Is Friendship So Hard" (one of the main answers is: "neoliberalism") but i don't want to make canada post think it was a good idea to put this ghoul on a stamp

screenshots from the canada post store of their brian mulroney stamps. mulroney was PM of canada for much of the 80s into the 90s. he devolved affordable housing to the provinces, which is a HUGE factor in canada's current housing crisis, pushed free trade, supported the gulf war, and privatized everything he could get his dirty little hands on. if you live in so-called canada he has undoubtedly made your life worse. hope this helps.

The full story of each mystery may remain lost in the depths of time, half-submerged in obscurity. A reminder of the things in this world we have to simply wonder at, Il Terzo Bronzo explores the pleasures of the unknowable. sheerspite.ca/product/il-t... sheerspite.ca/product/il-t...

A closeup of the bearded mouth of a statue, text reads "something thrilling about each exquisite detail"

a statue's curled hand, reading "about these artworks' simultaneous intimacy..."

"... and unknowability", with an image of the face of a bearded statue, missing one of its eyes

sheer spite press@sheerspite· May 2

In Il Terzo Bronzo, also published on @crucialcomix.bsky.social, Cee Lavery entwines two unsolved mysteries: the origins of a group of ancient Greek bronze statues found off the coast of Calabria & the cryptic roots of a family name. sheerspite.ca/product/il-t... sheerspite.ca/product/il-t...

The zine Il Terzo Bronzo, printed in pale yellow paper. The cover depicts a diver's flippered feet above two statues lying on the ocean floor amidst fronds of seaweed

one more extremely kind blurb for "The Politics of Lonely"!

“Lee Arden offers a thoughtful meditation on what austerity has done to our friendships, with a pragmatic and radically grounded pathway to transform and rebuild a social safety net in the spaces between us.”
Ardath Whynacht, author of Insurgent Love

sheer spite press@sheerspite· Apr 30

exceptionally honoured to have gotten such kind and generous blurbs from authors I deeply admire for "The Politics of Lonely: Why Is Friendship So Hard?", which is coming out from @fernpub.bsky.social this fall, and is up for preorder now: fernwoodpublishing.ca/book/the-pol...

“A friend-letter (which is like a love-letter, but more complicated) to the ordinary glory of being with others, in all our mess and beauty, The Politics of Lonely is an incisive call to build worlds in which friendship is more and more accessible, for everyone.” - Alexis Shotwell, author of Against Purity: Living Ethically in Compromised Times

“The Politics of Lonely made me feel less lonely. Yes, this is a book that invokes the radical potential of queer friendship—all the dreams and aspirations—without neglecting to address the personal, intimate, and structural failures. Drawing from a wide variety of voices in literature, critical thinking—and, yes, friendship—this book moves us toward everyday intimacy, collaboration, mutual aid, protest, communal living, and an expansion of care networks to provide a safety net for everyone.” - Mattilda Bernstein Sycamore, author of Terry Dactyl

“Arden’s exploration of friendship as ‘the highest ideal of love’ is essential medicine for these dehumanizing times. It is neither bitter pill nor sugarcoated remedy for what ails our ability to make friendship live up to our aspirations. Instead, it is dreamily homeopathic, mixing up a tonic to strengthen our broken hearts. It is at once vulnerable and brave, messily honest and truly beautiful, deeply personal and systemically political, reminding us that friendship is ‘worth the struggle,’ as part and parcel of social transformation.” - Cindy Barukh Milstein, editor of Constellations of Care: Anarcha-Feminism in Practice

“There are few things as mundane in our lives as friendship, but also, few things as important that are also as unprobed. What makes a friend? What do we need from others? How do our relationships buoy our happiness or exacerbate our loneliness? Lee Arden has given us a lot to think about in this radical examination of one of society’s most important social bonds.” - Nora Loreto, author of The Social Safety Net
