#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

If you are a gamer or enjoy any kind of media, I encourage you to watch this video about the Steam, itch. io, and payment processor hit job being undertaken by 'Collective Shout' and their attempt to try and ban/censor video games. It is an important topic regarding censorship in our lives.

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”

HHS secretary Kennedy announcing that Covid vaccine is no longer recommended for pregnant women, including a lie that it is “good science”

Universities and employees are still learning about long Covid and how to deal with it, meaning it’s even more important to offer help and reasonable adjustments

The worst cowards out there are the ones that say things like "it's going to happen anyway so we may as get well get used to it" or "if I don't do it someone else is going to." Mf let it be someone else then?? You win no prizes for being the first to lick the boot. In fact, they respect you less.

If you want to be the first, be the first to say no. Be the first to step up and defend someone. Be the first to fight back. Be the first to say if they're going to do this, it's not going to be with my damn money or attention. Both bravery and cowardice are contagious. Remember that daily.
