JANUARY A postcard writing game for two people, set in a kaiju-filled alternate history, about distant but persistent friendships.

JANUARY is a postcard-writing game about two artists living ordinary lives over five decades, in a world besieged by giant kaiju.

By Indiecade-winning, Ennie-nommed game designer and artist Shing Yin Khor, in collaboration w/ illustrator Jared Andrew Schorr.

Here's a closer look at one of the valentines 🥰

A handmade card featuring a small conical tree made out of a folded page of a dictionary. Two paper hearts decorate the tree, which has a trunk made out of patterned red and white paper. The same patterned paper also forms starburst lines coming off of the top of the tree. The card rests on top of a white envelope adorned with a USPS Forever stamp showing a purple-hued image of the sun coronal hole from the "Sun Science" series.

Sending out love and thanks!

An infographic sharing information about the USPS postmark change effective December 24, 2025. It explains that mail dropped into a USPS collection box used to be postmarked the day it was collected (i.e., same day as drop-off as long as you were ahead of the posted collection time). However, as of December 24, 2025, mail dropped into USPS collection boxes will be postmarked on the day that items are PROCESSED, which will generally mean 1-2 days after drop-off. If you need same-day postmark, you now need to go to the service counter in a post office and request a manual postmark. This is especially critical for items with a "mail by" deadline, such as tax returns and mail-in ballots.

If you need a same-day postmark from USPS, make sure you visit the counter and request a manual postmark!

A copy of the first commercial Christmas card from 1843 from the Library of Congress. Chromolithograph illustration depicts three generations of a family celebrating with food and drink, along with panels illustrating Christian charity. The message: “A Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to You.”

On this National Christmas Card Day we are pleased to share, from the Library's special collections, a copy of the first commercial Christmas card. It's from 1843, the same year “A Christmas Carol" was published. Both helped establish the Victorian concept of Christmas. blogs.loc.gov/loc/2019/12/...

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

A brown craft paper envelope featuring a USPS Forever Message Monsters stamp. The monster on the stamp has four arms, a multi-color striped body, and is wearing a hat on one of its horns. A hand-drawn version of the monster is positioned next to the address, which is redacted for privacy purposes.

Rawr!

This is a lovely set!

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.

Wishing you kind notes and happy envelopes, especially on challenging days! 💌

A cream-colored envelope features a "250 Years of Delivering" USPS Forever stamp. A hand-drawn scene depicts a shining sun in the top right corner, several clouds across the top of the envelope, and raindrops falling down the left side of the envelope onto a single blooming flower, a few tufts of grass, and a small puddle.

Through sun, rain, and flowers, season after season USPS continues to deliver!

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.'

"Mail art was part of the nascent boom in zine culture," local mail artist Musicmaster says. "It predates punk."

A colorful postcard collage created by Michele O'Brien. It features geometric shapes with different patterns in gently-saturated primary colors.

I love the way you've arranged your sketches so they flow into each other!

"welcome to the jumble" -- love it! 😆

On a cream colored envelope, two gold and blue fish are collaged next to and above the recipient’s redacted address, which floats above a green, gold, and black wave-scape. Cut and pasted text reads “love has been poured into our hearts/hope and joy, we thank you.” A USPS stamp depicting magnified pink moss leaves is in the top right corner.

Swimming? Jumping? Flying? One way or another, it’s on its way!

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 😭)

Postcards are so great for sending a random thought, a favorite memory, a compliment, a thank you, or whatever else strikes your fancy and are the perfect choice when you need to not feel pressured to write more than a few sentences. 📬💌😊

A black and white photo of a baby is adorned with a collaged party hat and surrounded by an asymmetrical paper frame. The embellishments feature of a variety of patterns in predominantly green, peach, and cream. A verse from the poem "Maternity" by Dorothy Kelley Aldis reads: "Why, when I was told the news, / I felt wings upon my shoes / And gallivanted down the street / Wanting to be indiscreet / And shout to all the world that I / Was about to multiply."

This snippet of poetry seemed the perfect verse for a card carrying happy wishes to a newly-announced mother-to-be!

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.
