These stamps pay tribute to the fine artistry of wooden statuettes, which were commonly used for advertising in the 19th century.

throwing up in the bushes ? 🤨

literally.....the scene where they go back to the house he found her and he tells her about what he did to her.......the scene where she tells him she loves him & that they need to kill lestat bc what louis did was bad but what lestat did & has been doing is endless and unforgivable......all the kissing.......and the crazy part is the show keeps so much of the enmeshment and the resentment and the way lestat's abuse pushes them into each other's arms, essentially, amplifies all of the mutual possessiveness that would've faded with the advent of claudia's adulthood. i just saw the lesgabrielle gifset it's kind of crazymaking icl i'm so glad i'm not watching the show i can't get into all that right now. but they'll never be LC bc LC actually like each other as people

And so the sorting begins

While this stamp pictures Bernard Revel and was initially scheduled to be issued on his 101st birthday, it also was issued to honor Yeshiva University in New York. The school’s roots stretched back to 1886, when the first school of Talmudic studies in the US was founded. 1986 marked the 100th anniversary of the event. In 1985, the USPS established new guidelines forbidding stamps that honored school anniversaries, and also stated that stamps honoring people should be issued for significant anniversaries. In effect, the USPS was breaking two of their own rules with this stamp.

To commemorate Eliot’s 98th birthday.
