@FrChazzz I’m tempted to leave #Reddit but I’m really fond of the #Episcopal subreddit (and a few others) Also, honestly, just by its nature the internet & social media are insecure (not a typo) & have been compromised from the beginning. The problem is that bad actors will always exploit information & use it against those they perceive as enemies faster & more efficiently than the general population. How long before they come for any platform including the #Fediverse #Mastodon #Bluesky I mean, they are even going after the #USPS & #mail so going off-grid & offline doesn’t help.

#BettyWhite now has her own #ForeverStamp from the #USPS , thanks to Boston-area artist #DaleStephanos .

It took him about a year to design and complete. At the request of Betty's family, he included references to her work championing the cause of #AmimalRights , the most obvious symbol being the pawprint earring.

Stephanos' image of Betty brilliantly captures her sense of mischief and fun, by perfectly portraying her joyful smile and sparkling eyes.

#BettyWhiteStamps are now available for purchase through the U.S. Postal Service.

The goal in privatizing the USPS is to make sending regular mail unaffordable to the point most communication occurs online, not in real life.

While the public recognizes mail is a service to the public that is not supposed to be for profiteering, the cheeto admin doesn't care that the costs of online services to the poor & elderly are far in excess of sending & receiving mail.

They just want to skim off as much as they can from people.

Parcels make up over 40% of USPS revenues, but account for just 6% of what the agency actually sends The Postmaster General is stepping away as the (mostly) mail service tries to work out where it stands in 2025. Millie Giles, 3/26/25 As mail’s fallen out of favor — the volume of mail handled by the service has almost halved since 2008 — USPS has become more dependent on its lucrative package business. Indeed, packages accounted for over 40% of its revenue last year, despite making up only 6% of total volumes. Trying to gain ground in the package space by competing with big names like UPSUPS $111.45 (-0.01%), FedExFDX $243.92 (0.11%), and AmazonAMZN $201.31 (0.11%), the latter of which delivered over 9 billion parcels the same or next day alone last year, was always going to be tricky for USPS to deliver. Now, though, it’ll be someone else’s problem.

Mailed my passport in for renewal. Priority mail, eta 3 days. It's been 11. My passport & renewal forms and check for expedited service have been lost in a Jacksonville FL processing facity for 7 days now. Hitting refresh on USPS tracking & sweating bullets over here. Am I f#@%ked? I see that DeJoy is out, just a coincidence I'm sure.

“Rural areas are the least profitable for the private companies. Many companies just give us the packages to deliver. A lot of people don’t realize the U.S. Postal Service delivers more Amazon packages than Amazon does. We deliver more UPS and FedEx because they will drop the last mile off for rural carriers to deliver.”
