#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.

@kevin Back in the 1970s, I learned that you could address a letter to

Someone's Name
City, State

and the USPS would deliver it. In 1977, I decided to try it. I wrote on an envelope

Parent's Name
Valparaiso, Indiana

I added a stamp and threw it in a mailbox in Ann Arbor, Michigan. A few days later, the Post Office delivered the letter. It's so cool when human beings, like you, take the time to make that happen. Thank you.

"Effective February 5, 2025, the Postal Service will continue accepting all international inbound mail and packages from China and Hong Kong Posts. The USPS and Customs and Border Protection are working closely together to implement an efficient collection mechanism for the new China tariffs to ensure the least disruption to package delivery."

Shorter: You'll get your package but it will come "postage due."

Spotted this mail box Lock just down the street (Union and Main) from where there was some sort of police incident an hour earlier.

My best guess is that someone tried to dispose of evidence in the post office box?

Sorry this is time stamped 2024-12-06T13:22-06:00 and I forgot to post it till now 🤷‍♂️

Lewis Hine

Harry Cherkos, 435 Catherine St, 7 years of age, sells papers, from 2:30 to 8 P.M. daily. 10 A.M. to midnight on Saturday. Income, 50 cents per day. This boy was caught gambling on Chestnut & 11th Streets. When asked if he gambles said no. Said all earnings go home. This boy has the appearance of being a bit feeble minded. Location: Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

This sepia-toned photograph depicts a young boy standing on the sidewalk next to an old-fashioned US Mail mailbox. He is wearing a white shirt, rolled-up dark pants and brown shoes, along with boots. The child appears focused as he holds several newspapers in his hand. Standing beside him is an adult man dressed in dark clothing, holding what seems like a cigarette or pipe while looking down at the boy. It looks like they are having some sort of interaction on the street corner during that era. The image has historical context and was taken by Harry Cherkos as part of Lewis Hine's work documenting child laborers' lives through photography in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The provided website link suggests this particular photograph is from an archive related to these works.
