A home to friendly weirdos. The Grey Gardens of the Fediverse (but beige). Occasionally graphically cacographic. Definitely probably not a cult (though you'll never be 100% sure). Beige-bless 🙏

Lance<p>When postal workers see the pre-printed "Handle With Care" notice on my Scotch bubble mailer, I believe they will totally slow down and gently carry it to its destination. <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/USPS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>USPS</span></a></p>
Tobias Klausmann<p>Dear USPS,</p><p>What the actual fuck? Why is everything shipped from the US marked as delivered to Glendale Heights? I don't give a flying freep in a rolling donut about how your internal routing works. I just want to know roughly when the package will be at my COMMUNIST EUROPEAN doorstep. </p><p>Are you cheating yourself about delivery times by claiming Glendale Heights is where Europe is? Is this a result of a byzantine COBOL system?</p><p>I care not. Fix your shit.</p><p><a href="https://mas.to/tags/usps" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>usps</span></a></p>
