Hello! I'm trying to buy from your shop and it's not letting me use the code, is it only valid on certain items/has it already finished? Thank you!
A screenshot from Potoh's shop. It shows text reading "Discount code" over a box with 'SUMMER15' written inside of it. The box is highlighted red and underneath in red text it says "SUMMER15 is not a valid discount code."

Probably better than the 1939 approach to laxative advertisement tbh
A 1939 advert for Castoria, a laxative. The headline is "Don't let daddy lick me again!". The advert is a photo-story depicting a father beating his son for not taking his laxatives, with the problem being resolved by taking Castoria instead.

@laurakbuzz.bsky.social Unbound update re: a book I backed through them. Thought you'd want to know/see it!
An email reading "We are writing to you because you pledged for Serving Up ed. Zoe Adjonyoh, which publishes this Thursday 10th July. The copies are now in the warehouse but unfortunately we are experiencing a delay to distribution and aren’t able to dispatch before publication date as hoped. We will let you know as soon as we have an update. Best, Boundless" It's in white text on a black background.

@laurakbuzz.bsky.social Just had this email from Unbound about a book I backed. Thought I'd keep you in the loop re: customer contact from them!
A screenshot of an email from Boundless Publishing Group, formerly known as Unbound. It reads "Dear [censored name], Thank you for pledging for Serving Up ed. Zoe Adjonyoh - the book is currently with the printers and we can't wait to share it with you. To allow more time for distribution, we're shifting the publication date by one week, from 3rd July to 10th July. Please look out for an email from us soon asking you to check your address. Thank you for your support, Boundless"

You're slightly giving Miss Cackle from The Worst Witch but like, even more iconic
An illustration of Miss Cackle from The Worst Witch. She's a white woman with sticky-out hair, wearing winged glasses and a black cape.

@laurakbuzz.bsky.social I'm sure you've already seen it, but if you hadn't, here's what Unbound are telling backers of other books due to be published re: their finances. Just wanted to make sure you saw it :)
An email from Unbound stating: "Unbound is currently wrestling with some financial difficulties and as a result our distribution is running slower than usual, which means you won’t receive your copy before publication on 6th March. We are working hard to get all orders out as soon as possible, but we know this may be frustrating and we apologise for any inconvenience. Once your order is dispatched you will receive tracking information via email."

Pleased to announce that the genetic mutation invented for a Daria fanfiction in the 1990s and then proliferated on Tumblr in 2013 has 710 calories
A screenshot from Bing search showing an article about Alexandria's Genesis on Healthline. Underneath the description, it mentions that it has 6 servings and 710 calories per serving.

Bluesky now has over 10 million users, and I was #252,279!
Do I often use this site? No! Do I greatly appreciate its presence in my life regardless, and the opportunity to keep up with certain people! Yes!
