sheer spite press

ohh... yes... so scrungly

can't wait to read it! 🔥

💖 Trans Pessimism 1: When Your Body is Not Your Own 💖

is back in stock with an updated cover! creative nonfiction about the constraints of gender and perception, from 2019.

Just got my Public Lending Right money from Canada Council. And for the firs time ever, it's pretty good money ($1500). This is thanks to you taking my books out at the library. Keep doing it! And do it for your favourite authors! Even if you don't read the books!!

Little Ghosts Books Workshop Space Little Ghosts Books horror bookstore & community hub is looking to expand its space by renovating our back garage into a studio to host our workshops, book clubs, and author events.

Can we help our pals @littleghostsbooks.bsky.social expand their programming and build a fabulous workshop?

this is so profoundly impressive! i wish you could also pay yourself but i fully understand how much money there isn't in cool zine projects 💜

!! so cool!

every day we wake up to new confirmations that reclaiming the means of production is how we get free. make pasta, make zines; make paintings and gardens and fresh bread and friendships. make a future you can hold in your own uncommodified hands.

The new Zine of the Gay post is up!

We've got a cohort of students who will be updating the QZAP blog this semester. They'll be exploring zines from our collections and writing about them every week or so. To start us off, Erica is taking on Some Boys Bleed

If you don't like what's on offer, make your own thing. I really wish more people would do this.

running an in-person zine distro - sheer spite press Sheer Spite isn’t my first time running a zine-selling operation: from about 2012 to 2016, I ran a couple of zine racks in person in Ottawa, where I was...

I wrote about how and why to run an in-person zine distro, something I did and enjoyed from about 2012-2016.

I recommend it! tbh it's a lot easier and more fun than running a distro via an online store.

Y'all!!! If you're not in the U.S. you should jump on this Mystery Zine Pack deal from @sheerspite.bsky.social.

everywhere but the US, regrettably 😔

"$150+ of mystery zines for $40" with an image of a mailing box filled with zines, confetti exploding from behind it

🧹 Doing some housecleaning!

There are a bunch of zines that I only have 1 or 2 copies left of, & I’m moving soon, so I'm offering an extremely limited run of surprise boxes with as many zines as I can fit into a flat-rate shipping box (~25-30! kind of a bonkers deal!)

a graphic reading "wasted ink zine bistro". "wasted ink" is in a swirly clownish 90s font, "zine bistro" is in teal brush script with a heavy drop shadow. there are clipart images of a coffee cup, bagel, stapler, croissant, and coffee grinder in a blocky 90s woodcut-ish style, and fruitopia-esque spirals in the background. it's a work of art obviously

graphic design is my passion 🥰

i feel like it'd be exactly the same except rebranded in this style aesthetics.fandom.com/wiki/Global_...

It's Friday and perhaps you have some money in your pocket that you would like to donate to support the Black Zine Fair... We're less than $1500 away from our next goal of $15,000 - gogetfunding.com/black-zine-f...

The ZineArranger by Nash High Zine layout tool for PDFs

There is a lot of woe in the world, but here is one thing I'm excited about:

nashhigh.itch.io/zinearranger This zine layout tool is a dream I never knew I had. You can upload a pdf of your, e.g., 56-page 1/4-sized zine in page order (1-56), and in seconds get back a 14-page doc you can print from.

An unopened ream of Astrobright Star Dust 65# cardstock.

Thrift score! $5.99 unopened ream of card stock that costs almost $32 at Office Max. Doing at least some of your printing/assembly yourself and being flexible about paper stocks/colors is a huge part of how I keep costs down and sustain my self-publishing.

A photo of the zine 'when to critique a trans woman', riso printed in black ink on pink paper. Its cover has a photo of the author wearing a slip style dress and smoking a cigarette. The zine is shown surrounded by thinky face emojis
