Long Live The United States Post Office!

Don’t ever forget how magical it actually is that there is a system that allows you to send someone a note and items in the mail.

Of all of the things to be grateful for over my life, and especially the past year, the USPS, as well as the postal systems and interlibrary loan networks of the world, are in the top 5, easily. I’ve had a lifelong fascination with the mail, and it has continued to pour its magic into my life.

We saw the USPS come under fire on a whole new level in 2020 as the pandemic raged on and as those who would do evil sought to tamp down its magic for the purpose of voter suppression and disenfranchisement. One of the biggest insults to me was that #45 put someone in charge that seemed to not only not care about the USPS, but held actual disdain for a service that is a lifeline for medications, veteran’s benefits, and correspondence. And, with all of the atrocities piling up, it was hard to get the advocacy it deserves. The people who keep the USPS going are heroes. They deserve better.
