Hello, friends! As I mentioned in the video, I’m starting the No. 3 Post, the first socialist snail mail club! Each month, subscribers will receive a hand-signed letter from yours truly, along with a themed assortment of analog goodies. The theme of the first month’s dispatch is Revolutionary Optimism, and I’m so excited to share it with you! If you want to join the club and get a hand-numbered, first-month-only Founder’s card, be sure to subscribe before August 20th! Subscribe here: no3supply.com If you’re an artist looking to collaborate with No. 3 Post, send me an email with examples of your work at no3supply@gmail.com We Won’t Retire, I Guess – Second Thought SUBSCRIBE HERE: bit.ly/2nFsvTS New video every other Friday!
