Since summer is nearly over, and folks are near their mailboxes, it's time to send out a new batch of envelopes for my #StickersAndStamps project.
I've used the new "Life Magnified" USPS stamps on these.
Tomorrow (Monday), I'll walk these to the post office, and send out emails to the folks who signed up for them.

45,000 #USPS Workers Aren't Getting Paid This Week Amidst #NRLCA #Union #Decertification Push
Instead of their pay, workers are being offered a money order that must be paid back due to what USPS called a "programming issue." https://www.vice.com/en/article/88xmz4/45000-usps-workers-arent-getting-paid-this-week-amidst-union-decertification-push

Oh! Thanks to @colossal, I found out about these new stamps from the USPS. They're fantastic!
"Life Magnified"
I've ordered a bunch of them and will use them in my next batch of envelopes for my ongoing #StickersAndStamps project.
You can buy your own, too:

The Postal Service is running big deficits today. But you can trace its problems back to 1970, when Congress told the Post Office to start acting like a business. It isn’t a business, and most Americans would be upset if the #USPS ever acted like one. http://www.fromthegovt.com/the-postal-service/
If you ever try to submit a service request to #USPS for e.g. missing mail, and get "There was a problem submitting your Service Request. Please try again later.'", make sure you select "Unknown" for "Package Contents"; don't just leave the choice empty.
There’s something delightfully magical about #USPS click to ship. Pay online, print label out, and set my boxes on my porch to be picked up. Magic to ship boxes this way when I grew up in a rural area and had to drive 20 minutes to a post office and then wait in line for one of the two tellers.
