Affiliate Disclosure

Last updated: October 5, 2026

Time’s Ripple is an independent publication written by M. Caelestis. This page explains how the site earns money, and what that does and does not change about what you read here.

How affiliate links work here

Some articles on Time’s Ripple contain affiliate links. If you click one of these links and buy something, I may earn a commission from the seller. You do not pay more because you used the link.

Any article that contains affiliate links says so near the top of the page, before the first link.

What affiliate links do not change

• Commissions do not decide what I write about or how I describe a product.
• Brands do not pay for placement, and they do not review or approve articles before they are published.
• I do not publish reviews written by brands, and I do not invent customer testimonials.
• If an article is ever sponsored, it will be labeled “Sponsored” at the top.

How I research products

Unless an article says otherwise, I have not personally bought or tested the products it mentions. Recommendations are based on research: the seller’s own product pages and published policies, product specifications, and independent customer reviews where they exist.

When I mention a policy such as free shipping, a return window or a warranty, I take it from the seller’s policy pages and include its conditions. Prices, policies and availability change, so please check the seller’s website before you buy. If I ever test a product myself, the article will say so plainly.

Where the links go

Affiliate links take you directly to the seller’s website. Your order, payment, delivery and any after-sales support are handled by that seller, not by Time’s Ripple.

Questions and corrections

If you have a question about a link or a recommendation, or you notice information that has gone out of date, write to timesripple.media@gmail.com. Corrections are always welcome.
