…sounds naughty, doesn’t it?
It’s been a while since I posted a linkgasm, and in keeping with my recent week of vacation, here are some fun websites.
Paula’s Art and Illustration includes links to a large number of Flickr groups for vintage photos and illustrations.
Old Time Candy from the 1950s on. I haven’t yet ordered anything from them, but I have been tempted. It could be research.
Radio Guy. Just go look at all his pictures of cool vintage scientific equipment and masks and automobiles and, yes, radios.
Cool Tools. A blog, about exactly what it says.

About Victoria Janssen
Victoria Janssen [she, her] currently writes cozy space opera for
Kalikoi. The novella series A Place of Refuge begins with
Finding Refuge:
Telepathic warrior Talia Avi, genius engineer Miki Boudreaux, and augmented soldier Faigin Balfour fought the fascist Federated Colonies for ten years, following the charismatic dissenter Jon Churchill. Then Jon disappeared, Talia was thought dead, and Miki and Faigin struggled to take Jon’s place and stay alive. When the FC is unexpectedly upended, Talia is reunited with her friends and they are given sanctuary on the enigmatic planet Refuge. The trio of former guerillas strive to recover from lifetimes of trauma, build new lives on a planet with endless horizons, and forge tender new connections with each other.
