5 Weird Stuff You Can Actually Buy Online



Believe it or not, I have tried selling textured paper (namely, paper I have crumpled and then scanned) online. Ever scrolled through online marketplaces and stumbled upon some real head-scratchers?  Here are five things that'll make you raise an eyebrow and maybe even crack a smile.


1. Digital Art of Crumpled Paper: Yep, I've sold photos of textured paper. Some folks are turning crumpled paper into digital art. It's like finding beauty in the crinkles and creases of everyday life. Sure, it sounds a bit out there, but hey, art is subjective, right? Who knows, maybe a crumpled paper masterpiece is just what your digital gallery needs.


2. Cat Pics with Attitude: Cat lovers, rejoice! You can now snag photos of our feline friends making the goofiest faces imaginable. From derpy grins to puzzled looks, these snapshots capture the essence of cat shenanigans. Perfect for spicing up your Instagram feed or giving your walls some purr-sonality.


3. Dog Pics That'll Make You LOL: But wait, dogs want in on the action too! Sellers are peddling pics of pups pulling all sorts of hilarious faces. Think tongue-out poses and bewildered expressions that'll leave you chuckling. Whether you're a dog person or just appreciate a good laugh, these doggo pics are guaranteed to brighten your day.


4. Vintage Goodies: Ever browsed through vintage stuff online and stumbled upon the downright bizarre? We're talking vintage medical gear and retro kitchen gadgets that'll make you do a double-take. It's like stepping into a time machine and discovering a whole new world of quirky treasures. Who knows, maybe that vintage toaster with a mind of its own is just what your kitchen needs.


5. Spooky Stuff: Feeling brave? Dive into the world of haunted dolls and cursed objects. Sellers swear these items are packed with paranormal energy or cursed by spooky happenings. Skeptical? You're not alone. But for those who love a good scare or enjoy a dash of the supernatural, these eerie artifacts are the stuff of legends.


I need not tell you that the internet is a wild place, filled with all sorts of weird and wonderful goodies from oddball people who would sell them. Whether you're into offbeat art, animal antics, vintage oddities, or the occasional ghost story, there's something out there for everyone.

Why Every Library Needs a Hometown Authors Shelf and How to Promote Them

 I have previously written about building a Local Authors Collection in a library in a previous post, How to Start a Local Authors Collection .

All libraries often highlight international bestsellers—but what about the author who lives just down the street? A Hometown Author Shelf tells the story of your community, written by its own people. Local authors offer unique perspectives that national voices can’t.  Their work may reflect regional issues, dialects, history, or folklore that rarely reach mainstream publication.

When patrons see familiar names or places in print, it deepens their emotional connection to both the library and literature. It says, “Your story matters here.” It also attracts local media attention, potential donors, and mo...

Short Story: The Vampire Next Door

Categories: FRIENDSHIP, TEENS & YOUNG ADULT, ROMANCE Nineteen-year-old vampire billionaire Welton Perry III stepped inside his new townhouse in suburban Maine already bored with the droning voice of the realtor. He held up one hand to stop the lady’s overeffusive description of the basement kitchen with the cold storage facility for his special dietary needs. He didn’t really need a fancy house, but his parents insisted. They wanted him to get as much rest as he needed after the ruckus he went through when his girlfriend and childhood friend sued him for assault, which was ludicrous.

What Librarians Do in 2024: Keeping Up with Everyone's Needs

They're about people – all kinds of people. And in 2024, our job is to make sure we're keeping up with what everyone needs, even as those needs keep changing. So, how do we do that? Let's dive in.   Getting to Know You   First up, we need to really understand who's using the library. This means looking beyond just the numbers and getting to know the community. What languages do they speak? What kind of information are they looking for? Do they need places to study, meet, or even just hang out? The more we know, the better we can be at making the library a welcoming place for everyone.   Technology is Our Friend   These days, almost everyone uses some form of technology, whether it's smartphones, tablets, or laptops. As librarians, we're jumping on this tech train too. We'r...
