#SaveSpeech I made a simplified version of this graphic for low vision and/or neurodivergent folks, and anyone else who might benefit! Please let me know if any changes need to be made for accessibility and thank you to the OP! USPS letter mailing guide: www.usps.com/ship/letters...

#SaveSpeech Physical Mail Guide

Based on dieselbrain.bsky.social's infographic, and information on
stop-paypros.neocities.org and yellat.money

Why physical mail?

Payment processors have begun showing resistance to phone calls (hanging up, changing numbers, verbal abuse). In addition to continued phone pressure, we are now adding physical mail as another pressure point.

Tips (bulleted list)
(Bullet one) If you are able, it is ideal to write letters by hand for larger impact, but printed letters are an effective alternative
(Bullet two) Writing your own letter in your own voice is ideal, but scripts are available to copy or reword
(Bullet three) Be polite and do not make any threats
(Bullet four) Within the US, a return address is not required and is only used when the mail is deemed not deliverable. You can drop your letters off at any USPS blue collection box or post office location for increased anonymity
(Bullet five) Supplies: Use whatever you have, or purchase the necessary envelopes and paper for cheap at a dollar store. Some have successfully recycled cardboard trash to make postcards. Stamps are available online at USPS.com or any postal store, including self-serve kiosks.

Talking Points (bulleted list)

(Bullet one) Express concern over payment processors attempting to control what fully legal items adults are allowed to buy
(Bullet two) Content “guidelines” are vague, unclear, and disallow content that is legal in fiction or between consenting adults
(Bullet three) These policies have been targeting LGBTQ+ content (Stripe specific: Express concern over anti-LGBTQ+ comments made by multiple customer service representatives)
(Bullet four) Urge them to cut ties with far-right groups pushing for censorship like Collective Shout, Exodus Cry, GOSRN, and NCOSE (Morality in Media)
(Bullet five) These actions are harming legitimate, legal businesses, LGBTQ+ individuals and minority groups, and limiting artistic and consumer freedoms
(Bullet six) You will support any position or legislation that will put restrictions on what the company and other payment processors are able to do

List of addresses for Stripe, Mastercard, PayPal, and Visa. The contents of the list are as follows:

South San Francisco, CA 94080

Like many technologies, AI is designed to kill humans, but in the most soulless way possible, stripping away even our ability to own and express our pain. Bertolt Brecht: "In the dark times, will there also be singing? Yes, there will be singing, about the dark times.” AI: NOT SO FAST

I can enjoy folklore, tolerate differing political opinions, & have fun with a good flying saucer story, but where I see red flags is when we're unable to agree on facts. We can debate what facts *indicate* but we can't be in conflict about what has & has not been established as fact.

Last week Prasad and Makary announced their new plan to make COVID boosters not available for those without high-risk conditions. Even they recognized pregnancy as a high risk condition. Today their boss said nope, no COVID vaccines for pregnant people. Another decision that will kill people

Prasad and Makary’s terrible opinion piece from 5/20 in the NEJM

Table from that Prasad and Makary article with “pregnancy and recent pregnancy” listed as an “underlying medical condition that increases a person’s risk of severe COVID-19”

I went into my library's database of Chicago area newspapers to confirm this isn't fake, and it's not. @chicago.suntimes.com Why the hell are you using ChatGPT to make up book titles? You used to have a books staff. Absolutely no fact checking?

Image of a page from the May 18, 2025, edition of the print Chicago Sun-Times. It has "Summer reading list for 2025" as its headline. It is an AI-generated list of books–the authors are real but none of the book titles are. For example, "The Last Algorithm" by Andy Weir, "The Collector's Piece" by Taylor Jenkins Reid, etc. None of the descriptions of these books are real either.

Pritzker: It’s time for us to be done with optimism about their motives. Time to stop wondering if you can trust the nuclear codes to people who don’t know how to organize a group chat. It’s time to stop ignoring the hypocrisy in wearing a big gold cross while announcing the defunding of children’s cancer research… Autistic kids and adults who are loving contributors to our society don’t deserve to be stigmatized by a weird nepo baby who once stashed a dead bear in his car. Our military service members don’t deserve to be told by a washed-up Fox TV commentator, who drank too much before being appointed Secretary of Defense, that they can’t serve their country simply because they are Black, gay, or a woman.
