absolutely normal about the new lore drop

[biggest-gaudiest-patronuses]

putting my prediction on record now that the coming decade is going to see the rise of viral-marketed fancy at-home water filtration systems, driving and driven by a drastic reduction in the quality of U.S. tap water (given that we are in a 'replacement era' where our current infrastructure is reaching the end of its lifespan--but isn't being replaced). also guessing that by the 2030s access to drinkable tap water will be a mainstream class issue, with low-income & unstably housed people increasingly forced to rely on expensive bottled water when they can't afford the up-front cost of at-home filtration--and with this being portrayed in media as a "moral failing" and short-sighted "choice," rather than a basic failure of our political & economic systems. really hope i'm just being alarmist, but plenty of this already happens in other countries, and the U.S. is in a state of decline, so. here's praying this post ages into irrelevance. timestamped April 2023

Are you struggling to pitch your favorite 16-book fantasy series that completely took over your life and changed your brain chemistry? ME TOO! So I made a parody vintage ad to spam friends and family with.

Found an old book with some interesting old advertisements printed in it.

The last one is my personal favorite.

Other Finds Include:

Giant Dalek cake/jello mold

The gift you never wanted as a kid, but your great aunt got you.

And a homemade coke can candle.

I know this is the anti-marketing website, but I love seeing Blazed posts from indie authors promoting their self-published books, or artists advertising their sticker shop, or clothes designers who only make brightly patterned, plus-sized circle skirts with pockets or something. I like it when creative strangers try to sell me on their stuff in an honest and non-demanding way!

Pleeeaaase, I need everyone here to get hold of Lyndsay Faye's Observations by Gaslight so I can scream about it - especially about "The Adventure of the Stopped Clocks".

It is perfect. It is narrated by Irene Norton née Adler, and additional to the fact that the author portrays Irene AND her relationship with Holmes in such a delightful way (Spoiler TM: They are not star-crossed lovers), it will completely rip out your heart. It is so good. (And the other stories are also superb!) Trust me. Please. I'm desperate. XD
