The priority mail service by U.S. Postal Service used to be a good service. Sadly, it’s a complete scam these days. They promise delivery within 3 business days, but in my experience, that’s a complete myth now

I go back to school today. Amazingly, the nearest Royal Mail has ever got to issuing a stamp celebrating school is this LS Lowry painting (1967, British Painters).

Two advertising covers from 1850s (both sometimes between 1852 and 1855). Envelope folding machines were invented just a few years ago, and advertising on envelopes was a very new phenomenon back then

As an immigrant, I find few things cause more anti-immigrant sentiment than when people you deal with can't communicate and follow instructions in their job due to lack of basic English skills. Companies hire cheap labor but create anti-immigrant resentment #doordash #fail
