Postage stamps are pop culture! Celebrating and bollocking philatelic design and the collector life. Co-host of the Stamps Aren’t Cool podcast.
Some in-flight wifi presented an appropriate opportunity to finally catch up on this joyful and ridiculous project by Graham of Exploring Stamps. 🙌 (Fortunately my plane did not attempt a similar manœuvre.)

Graham Beck from Exploring Stamps sent me a postcard from the 2025 Great American Stamp Show, featuring the classy new Boston 2026 Expo stamps under this amazing postmark! (And also Betty White. 🙌) Hard not to get excited with this kind of early promotion.

If you happen to be in my town of Melbourne, Australia next Sunday, I'll see you at the stamp fair celebrating the 75th anniversary of the Brighton Philatelic Society (@bps-stamps.bsky.social)... won't I?
One week until BriPex 75th, our birthday stamp fair! Here’s a sneak peek at some of the limited-edition collectables available to all attendees on the day. The first 50 members through the door will receive additional souvenirs in a gift bag (and yes, you CAN join on the day)! 1/2 ⬇️

If we share a home town (Melbourne, Australia 👋) then you might like to get along to Brighton Philatelic Society tonight (Tuesday 12 August) where I'm talking about online philately at 7.15pm. It's followed by a thematic display on Martin Luther King. ⬇️
What’s on Tuesday, 12 August? 🧵1/3

This was a fantastic night, and a great example of the enjoyable looseness of club displays compared to the seriousness of competitive exhibits. I learned a lot about dahlias and even tempted Mrs Punk into the clubhouse for the first time! Nice one Deb 🙌
The Brighton Philatelic Society recently hosted the very talented Deb Collett, whose philatelic display on dahlias was carefully curated to match her glorious award-winning blooms. A stunning and informative evening! Check out the pics! 🧵👇🏼

I discovered the daytime hideout of the local family of tawny frogmouth, the star of this stamp from Australia’s 2021 issue, ´Nature’s Mimics’. Being nocturnal, they adopt strange poses to disguise themselves as tree branches during the day. Unfortunately their snoring gave their position away. 🙄

This optimistic little piggy is all of us heading into 2024. Surely the year can only bring good fortune and wonder! The future is all his! He could be anything! What could possibly go wrong?

Chinese-speaking friends, can you tell me what these inscriptions say on the back of a sheet that has come my way? The auto-translations are intriguing, but unclear. I’d love to hear what a human says.

I don’t know if there’s a #catsofbluesky yet, but if you like #cats - especially if you can’t actually keep one - then collect #catsonstamps! No feeding, no cleaning up, and you can house thousands of them on a bookshelf or in a cupboard! For more on this guy: punkphilatelist.com/2024/11/17/j...

Surprised to find Australian Rules football on a stamp from the Caribbean! I like how the artist has faithfully replicated a photograph of three players totally missing the ball. Extra proud that two of them are from my old Victorian Football League team, the might Fitzroy Lions 🥲🦁🇷🇴
