there's something really nice about sending something physical in the post! i like trying to pick out charity cards with the nicest designs (this year I have dogs and christmas jumpers) and I always make sure the message is about how great the person who's getting it has been this year

this year, though, workers at Royal Mail (Britain's six-day-a-week postal service) are on strike over christmas. Like most Brits, their employer has been ridiculously profitable but they were offered a 2% pay rise, despite inflation running into double digits.

I'm a proud CWU member -- both in my old job and in my new one, as part of its UTAW branch -- so I'm showing a little solidarity by using this lovely sticker design and popping it on every card I send. if you've got the means to make or order some stickers and you have something to post this christmas, maybe give it a go yourself! Victory to the CWU!
