More beach glass with a story: this frosty white “sylpho” fragment comes from a 1920s bottle of Cabot’s Sylpho-Nathol. Sylpho-Nathol was a coal-tar-derived antiseptic that was advertised to prevent infantile paralysis - polio - if you gargled or snorted it. (Apparently it smelled just *awful*.)

A squared-off piece of seaglass, heavily frosted, with the word “Sylpha” in a stylized san-serif fontA pic from an Etsy listing of a whole version of a clear, squared-off glass bottle of Cabot’s Sylpho-Nathol, “REG. U. S. PAT. OFF. BOTTLE MADE IN U.S.A.”Historical advertisement for Cabot’s Sylpho-Nathol, probably somewhat older than the bottle, since this uses an older-style script-like logo. The picture shows a woman in an early-1900s-style bathrobe pouring some of the goop into a bowl for a small girl. The headline reads “Keep your nose and throat clean”.

“Everybody-old and young— should do this. For the mucous membrane of the nose and throat of healthy persons may become contaminated with the Infantile Paralysis virus.
Without falling ill themselves they may infect others, chiefly children, so the only safe way is for everyone-man, woman and child-to keep the nose and mouth clean with the best antiseptic-then the child is safest.

What doctors say
Paralysis begins as a nose and mouth infection.
Only a most powerful antiseptic will destroy the germs of this dreaded disease. Weak, un-scientific, high-smelling solutions do not kill the germs.
The antiseptic used and endorsed by doctors and hospitals the country over is Sylpho-Nathol.
Let every one, then, take this precaution.
To clean the nose: Put two or three drops of Sylpho-Nathol in a glass of warm water. Pour a little in the palm of the hand and snuft it up the nose.
To clean the throat: Gargle with this same solution.
Do this two or three times a day and put the nose and throat in a clean, aseptic condition. A 10c bottle will protect your entire family for a week. Get it from your druggist. Don't risk the lives of your children with weak, worthless preparations that do no good. Take no chances.
Use SYLPHO-NATHOL, the kind the doctors and hospitals use. The Sylpho Nathol Company, 14 Medford St.,

still undecided on what my first gunpla will be, but at some point I'm definitely getting THE BIG ZAM избушка на курьих ножках type shit 🥰

I have very few people who I genuinely considered heroic for the creative fields, but Kevin MacLeod was one of them. To learn that the "free varied music for whatever you want it for" guy stopped composing and started prompt engineering AI slop for almost a year is the most depressing twist.

my head canon is Kai doing finger guns, excusing himself to the bathroom, leaving the letter with "I wish I were gau" and "he is a CHAR", and then never leaving said bathroom for the foreseeable Gundam Zeta future bc he has a horrible IBS attack lasting several years. truly a bisexual icon

I will never forgive AI for many things, but most of all? Vilifying em dashes. I am a writer with ADHD damn it. Now I have to change them all to commas and THEY DO NOT HAVE THE SAME FEEL. Like drinking a soda that got changed from sugar to high fructose corn syrup, damn it.
