I spent 10 minutes trying to locate a specialty paper store that was reposted by an artist I follow. I deducted they were in Massachusetts, but couldn’t find any other information. There IG account had no website, no state, no hours.

Hey - something tangible you can do is ask your postal clerks if they know when their next audit is (might be called a function four) and then GO TO THE POST OFFICE ON THOSE DAYS so they have better numbers!! That's how we keep postal jobs.

The USPS is being threatened with massive layoffs and privatization. I made these postcards which—when mailed—will be seen by mail handlers, scanners, carriers and the recipient. I just printed 3,000 more. Order cheaply from halfletterpress.com or message me your email for the PDF to print them.

Congratulations May Day! I worked at May Day Cafe in the early 2000’s & love seeing this place live on as a worker owned coop! Now a part of deep radical coop legacy in the twin cities!
Congratulations to the worker owners of May Day Cafe in Minneapolis! Not only does May Day stand as a cooperative today, they own their building. They also raised over $100k to help fund working capital. Go visit May Day soon! maydaycafe.coop

I can't tell who's on here yet, so I'm not tagging people, but Xandar's substack rules. This was the Saturday night read I needed.
A PRESIDENT'S DAUGHTER IN PROVIDENCE and the case of the mysteriously disappearing student cooperatives
I started working on this piece before the inauguration and the ensuing shitstorm of executive orders, which are so clearly an onramp to fascism that it is hard to psychically think outside of them.
