Solemates - A History of Our Fetish for Feet

Summary

Why are feet so hot? When Jesus washed his bros' feet, what kind of love was he showing? Why did feet show up in poetry written during a medieval outbreak of gonorrhoea? How did early sexologists convince us that loving feet is deviant? And what did Victorian lesbians make of all this?
These are the questions thrusting Adam Zmith into a history of toe-botherers who will guide the reader through the sex archives, the online forums and a millennium of art, with his trademark queer lens.
Solemates will bring to light the history of this peculiarly popular kink. From Tarantino films to Bible stories, from Renaissance paintings to OnlyFans, Solemates is the rich and messy tale of our obsession with everything below the ankle, and what it reveals about how we view our bodies and our sex lives.

    "The Queen of Distraction" is a comprehensive guide specifically tailored for women dealing with ADHD and its unique challenges. The book acknowledges that while not all readers may have a formal ADHD diagnosis, many women struggle with organization, focus, and daily tasks. Author Terry Matlen, a psychotherapist, approaches ADHD from a distinctly feminine perspective, addressing specific challenges that women face in managing their condition. 
    The book explores how ADHD manifests differently in women compared to men, covering crucial areas such as maintaining relationships, dealing with sensory sensitivities (particularly skin sensitivities), the complexities of meal planning, parenting challenges, and the intersection of ADHD symptoms with hormonal fluctuations. It provides practical strategies and actionable solutions for managing these challenges. 
    What sets this book apart is its focus on real-world applications, offering concrete tips and techniques for everything from basic daily tasks like getting dressed to more complex challenges like preparing for job interviews or planning meals. The author understands that for women with ADHD, even simple daily activities can become overwhelming ordeals. 
    Rather than just providing basic coping mechanisms, the book aims to help readers truly thrive rather than merely survive. It offers various treatment options and management strategies that can be customized to individual needs. The approach is both practical and empowering, acknowledging the struggles while providing hope and concrete solutions for improvement.

    My America - Langston Hughes on...

    Best known as the leader of the Harlem Renaissance, the celebrated poet and writer Langston Hughes believed in the power of art as resistance. What can we learn from his works today? 
    Randal M. Jelks delivers this revelatory portrait of the celebrated poet, essayist, playwright, and American artist Langston Hughes. My America traces Hughes's journey from a child captivated by the wonder of Kansas City to cosmopolitan witness in Paris, New York, Mexico City, and Madrid. We encounter Hughes as a young man discovering the pulse of modern life in a world on the verge of exploding metaphorically and literally. His experiences informed his work and his thinking on art, democracy, and activism. 
    Langston Hughes is one of the few American writers who consistently wrote about democracy from a joyous perspective, and My America explores how his works speak to the political anxieties and crises we face today. Jelks deftly examines the themes in Hughes's work, including creative expression, communal dignity, class struggle, and human suffering and what they mean for our inner well-being as democratic persons and political participants. 
    With care and no-holds-barred insight, My America removes the veneer of respectability often placed on Hughes's work and life to reveal his political adeptness. In a world threatened by fascism, Hughes's writing wasn't afforded the luxury of subtlety. He made a spiritual and political decision to stand on the side of the oppressed. He believed art should be practiced for the sake of justice. And democracy can be practiced with joy.
