The USPS posting a NINE BILLION DOLLAR LOSS!!! sounds terrible. Certainly worse than if you said "USPS costs thirty dollars per person per year" even though that means the same thing and more accurately describes a government service

It's important to write hand-written letters to your friends when you need to send them something. Ideally while doing a bit. Maybe you're a union soldier, separated from your ladylove. Maybe a hot air balloon operator.

We mustn't let the realities of today restrain the nonsense within us.

"Mail art was part of the nascent boom in zine culture," local mail artist Musicmaster says. "It predates punk."
Correspondence Artists Celebrate 'Decades of Mailing It In' at Squirrel Haus Arts - Racket
'Mail art is a utopian practice—it’s people participating, cooperating, and exchanging without worrying about money.'

I’m super psyched for this new publication that is an online mag AND a literal vending machine that dispenses awesome zines made by real artists. If you’re in the Indianapolis area, you can visit one of the actual zine machines at Tomorrow Bookstore. (I really wish I lived closer 😭)
✨Zine artist reveal!✨ Lindsay Lusby is a poet, editor, writing coach, letterpress printer, and graphic designer who loves to experiment with all forms of art at the intersection of text and image. Don’t miss her zine, “A Brief History of Perfect Happiness,” in our Summer ‘25 Edit!

I don't want to start a thing so I'll just say that there will never be a good argument for privatizing USPS. That would be like privatizing libraries. The aim of services isn't to be run for profit, they are for serving the greater good, which USPS has been extremely successful at.

This postbox, in Amsterdam’s Central station, can’t quite remember why it’s holding up a blank sign over its head. Maybe it was protesting (‘what do we want? More letters!’) Or perhaps it was part of the station’s signalling. It was a long time ago. It sighs wearily, & feels old.

One of the most uplifting morning thoughts is suddenly remembering “Oo, I wonder what exciting post might arrive today?” Moral of the story: make mornings uplifting. Send a friend some post. (Bars of chocolate optional) ☺️📮🍫🌤️
