Alyson is a phenomenally insightful speaker. The Welcome to Dorley Hall launch was phenomenal and you should all go to the launch of Secrets (because we can't).

After checking various locations/prices we decided to skip the UPS option - the added logistics challenge for us providing frequently marginal savings meant it really wasn't worth it. But the PirateShip bulk price is a significant saving for international shipping so yay!

Antithesis Press @antithesis-press.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

Hopefully the cheaper option is now working! :)

Okay, overnight our tame webdev setup and tested our new international shipping option for @victoriascott.bsky.social's Pollination, sorry it took a while!

I remember the exact moment, early in my transition, working in Copenhagen, when I realized I was being perceived as a woman by my male coworkers. I realized it because they were interrupting and talking over me in meetings.

Our loss is your gain... We still have a couple of bookstore returns that are 20% off the regular retail price since we consider them 'used'. antithesispress.com/product/bott...

when these happen in my life i ask the children 'how would that have been different if i didn't speak the language? if i was black? if i used a walker? if i was old? these are empathy prompts. we do these with children because empathy isn't inherent or instinctive, it has to be Taught.

every day we wake up to cis straight white people talking about horrible interactions with authority (doctors, schools, police, that one guy who never considered oppression until they decided to build a data centre near his home) so let's play a game. 🧵

I don't want to get people overly excited. We're going to set up UPS shipping on our staging site in the next couple of days and, if we can get it working, we'll add it to the site. Also Pirateship added '1-3 week bulk shipping' for Europe. We're also going to see if we can integrate that.

Antithesis Press @antithesis-press.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

It only took an hour and 20 but now we can at least try and get UPS setup. Since I'm at my other job for the next few days I've asked our lovely webdev to look at it.

You should absolutely hit up Sula for portraits. holy shit she made me feel the best about my looks I have in like, a year. As someone who has spent her life honing the art of taking good portraits of trans people, she is a master of it

for me, a key part of being a self-aware but closeted transsexual teen in the 90s was occasionally coming across references to mags like this—in the backs of more staid magazines, mostly—and gazing longingly at them, fixating not just on the beautiful woman, but the implied community she represented

Or indeed a hit. I haven't had my morning cup of tea yet. Also, there were a lot of claws near my feet. And any other excuses I can think of for that hopeless bit of typing.

Right now we have a couple of bookstore (stock) returns of @transcect.bsky.social's Bottle Blondes available. These are basically as-new, but discounted... So if you're wanting a paperback but a little cheaper, now's your moment :) antithesispress.com/shop/

The trope map lists:
- Found Family
- Sisters' Sanctuary
- Southern College Double Life
- Messy Mentor
- Secret Identity

Little reminder since I'm recovering from surgery today and unlikely to post anything much else. We've locked in our place in the printer's queue but that means our current stock is all that's going to be printed in the first print run.

UK governments love Section 28s, they can’t get enough of them, when there isn’t a Section 28 in force they get really sad. You wouldn’t want the UK government to be sad, would you?

So, uh, anyhow... the UPS option will have to wait until I'm back on my feet after this surgery.

BTW, we're trying to integrate a UPS shipping option because apparently that's a bit cheaper for some international options. However, UPS's website? 8 monkeys, 7 minutes.

Okay cariads (or, uh, cariadau or cariadon - I'm only half Welsh and my Welsh language knowledge would fit on a stamp with room to spare), the order is placed. @victoriascott.bsky.social's Pollination is going to press the end of this month.

Antithesis Press @antithesis-press.bsky.social · 31/08/2026

If we sell out, we'd love to do another printrun later if there's more interest after we sell out... and have started to plan around that being a possibility. Buuuuut, like I said. If you want it from this batch, and hopefully before Xmas (fingers crossed) you'll want to order soon :)

So effectively we'll be ordering "Preorders plus a bit based on previous experience."

Antithesis Press @antithesis-press.bsky.social · 31/08/2026

Like most small presses, we assume sales drop off (apart from events) fairly rapidly. So we'll size our order to account for some purchases after the order goes in, but we know that likely we'll get the majority of sales up front (we'll be talking about this a bit more in our (free) patreon updates.

Antithesis Press @antithesis-press.bsky.social · 31/08/2026

As a small press (and with no distributor) we can't currently store a large volume of books. We aim to do books in -> books out pretty rapidly. One day we shall be a vast queer publishing empire, but we're not there yet.

Antithesis Press @antithesis-press.bsky.social · 31/08/2026

We also still have some more copies of the seed edition* that some very lovely donors have paid-it-forward to help us cover costs for. *The seed edition is for anyone who can't currently afford a copy and would like one. Just select seed on the order page and we'll work out the rest.
