"At 77, Jiang may be the last remaining writer of qiaopi — remittance letters exchanged between Chinese migrants overseas and the families they left behind. Often sent together with money from abroad, the letters once served as a vital lifeline between relatives separated by migration." #qiaopi #china #letterwriting

Tarot and the Lo-Teks
Yesterday’s post was, obviously, about a new shop item on my ko-fi page. All the proceeds from my ko-fi page go toward web-hosting Sage Sips without ads, keeping the Substack paywall-free, and maybe generating a few donations for causes I care about (more about that in a later post.) I’m not going back into business. Handwritten Tarot readings are not a money-maker.
Trust me, I’ve tried it before.
I originally offered tangible, pen and paper Tarot readings years ago, when AI was the stuff of cyberpunk fiction – not anything anyone actually used in normal day-to-day life.
I’ve always been a William Gibson fan, dating back to Neuromancer. I originally offered handwritten Tarot because it was cool and niche. Bringing back handwritten Tarot is more the Lo-Teks from Gibson’s short story turned Keeanu Reeves movie, Johnny Mnemonic.
I never imagined that a person to person email with a digital photo would seem low-tech next to computer-generated art and writing, but here we are. Physical paper and handwriting seems like ancient, mysterious wizardshit by comparison.
If you want a talking type of reading – eesy peesy. There are psychics by the dozens out there doing that and it is up to you to figure out if they are trustworthy or not. (The Tao of Finding a Psychic might help) As far as I know, there are only a handful of us working in the typed-word and email formats, and fewer still that do handwritten pen and ink readings.
“A thought is powerful, the spoken word even more so, but the written word is the most powerful of all”
Sallie Christensen, psychic and author
I’m not going back into business, but I am offering these readings as a quiet rebellion against AI. This is my Lo-Tek Tarot.
Handwritten Tarot is magical and powerful – arguably even more so than spoken in-person ones. This kind of Tarot can never be digitally replicated. My bad handwriting and cringy doodles show you they are 100% real, 100% HUMAN .
Handwritten Tarot has all the advantages of any distance reading: You can’t unintentionally give body language cues. There are no leading questions, no stage mentalism, no tricks – these readings are pure spirit and intuition. No drama, no AI slop – just quiet wisdom in the ancient way of pen and ink writing.
Please include your name, U.S. mailing address, and question for the reading with your order. If you don’t include a question or topic, no problem! I’ll automatically do an open style reading and let intuition lead the way.
Sent folded into a standard #10 envelope, this Tarot reading is discreet and private. This is highly customized folk art with no refunds or exchanges. Available to USA mailing addresses ONLY.
This nominal charge is only to cover the cost of paper, postage, driving to the post office and the extra effort that these take to create.
Just like always, these readings are highly customized ephemeral folk art for entertainment and personal spritual enrichment, and do not predict the future. No refunds or exchanges or any of that other business-y stuff. Caveat emptor and whatnot.
Order one from my ko-fi shop HERE if you are interested in giving it a try.

It has to be fountain-pen friendly.Currently using Clairefontaine Triomphe A5 plain, but that seems to be getting harder to obtain.

#ShieldAlert: #AndSteiner, GenderDiverse #HumanRightsActivist, targeted for #PatientAdvocacy at #LemuelShattuck.
Urgent Update: #Whistleblower And Steiner Still in Danger Despite Recent Concessions
September 22, 2025: "#MindFreedomInternational (#MFI) is pleased to report that, in response to our previous Shield Alert update, Lemuel Shattuck Hospital has allowed And Steiner to see a covering provider of their choice and assured that And’s requests are being taken seriously. However, MFI remains concerned about And’s safety and well-being despite these concessions.
"As a reminder, And is a #Massachusetts (MA) Department of Mental Health (DMH) patient at Lemuel Shattuck Hospital and whistleblower alleging criminal misconduct and abuse within the Massachusetts #DMH system, and has faced a pattern of retaliation including illegal #ForcedTransfer, assault, and harassment and denial of #DueProcess. A staff member has also warned that DMH plans to continue this targeting and harassment."
See link below to learn what you can do.
"Main talking points:
- And Steiner is a whistleblower who has reported alleged criminal misconduct and abuse within the Massachusetts Department of Mental Health system.
- And is currently under the care of those they are whistleblowing about.
- A staff member has warned an MFI volunteer of DMH’s intentions to target and harass And.
- And has faced retaliation, including illegal forced transfer, assault, verbal and sexual harassment, and denial of due process, including recent targeted discrimination and abuse by staff.
- Ivy McCall, a friend of And’s with a masters degree in social work, who has attended many of And’s Team Meetings, has come forward saying she believes DMH is targeting and abusing And and that And is not safe.
- All Massachusetts State entities have refused to intervene despite an easily provable #patternOfAbuse and targeting by DMH towards And for at least 3 years.
- Many staff members have filed complaints regarding And’s care.
- #MindFreedom and many advocates and you remain concerned that this pattern will continue without intervention."https://mindfreedom.org/front-page/and-steiner/

[Click on the link] to see a shocking letter just released by Disability Law Center (DLC) to the Commissioner with damning evidence that I was brutally and illegally restrained punitively.
You can help!"
______"It’s been four years. I’ve filed over 300 DMH complaints. We’ve written hundreds of emails and made hundreds of phone calls. My story has been plastered on Mindfreedom’s website for years! Staff members have filed dozens of complaints with the Disable Persons Protection Commission (#DPPC). There’s been involvement by a lawmaker and a city councilor.
And it’s still going on!!
We’ve filed dozens of complaints with the Attorney General Cambell, whose office recently wrote me saying they are not interested in helping me, and not a peep about investigating the allegations in this petition."

Danish postal service to stop delivering letters after 400 years (The Guardian, 2025-12-21)
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/dec/21/denmark-postnord-postal-delivery-letters-society
------>> The Danish postal service will deliver its last letter on 30 December, ending a more than 400-year-old tradition.
>> The Danish postal service has been responsible for delivering letters in the country since 1624. In the last 25 years, letter-sending has been in sharp decline in #Denmark, with a fall of more than 90%.
>> But evidence suggests a resurgence in letter-writing among younger people could be under way.
>> ... research had found 18- to 34-year-olds send two to three times as many letters as other age groups, ... young people “looking for a counterbalance to digital oversaturation”...

✉️🖌 Briefeschreiben an Gefangene!
🕔 Freitag, 12.12.2025 | 17Uhr
📍Malobeo, Kamenzerstr. 38, 01099—————————————————--
Liebe Freund*innen,
am Freitag den 12.12.25 ab 17:00 Uhr wollen wir wieder mit euch Briefe schreiben an unsere gefangenen Genoss*innen.
Gerade gegen Ende des Jahres ist die Isolation im Knast besonders spürbar. Freund*innen und Familie fühlen sich besonders weit weg an. Lasst uns die Einsamkeit durchbrechen und zeigen, dass wir bei unseren Genoss*innen stehen, auch wenn die Mauern uns trennen.
Kommt gerne bei uns im Malobeo vorbei, es gibt Kuchen, Tee und Kaffee.
Schreibsachen sind alle da und wir unterstützen euch darin die richtigen Worte zu finden.
Wir freuen uns auf euch!_________________________
Dear friends,
On Friday, December 12, 2025, starting at 5 p.m., we want to write letters with you again to our imprisoned comrades.
Especially at the end of the year, the isolation in prison is particularly noticeable. Friends and family feel especially far away. Let's break through the isolation and show that we stand with our comrades, even if walls separate us.
Feel free to stop by Malobeo, where we will have cake, tea, and coffee.
Writing materials will be provided, and we will help you find the right words. -
The Painter Goblin: Becoming Corporeal
by @beet_keeperWhen you move country you have to be prepared to change quite a lot about your life. Back at the end of 2020, apart from literally everything else going on my partner and I also moved from Canada to Germany.
For me, this was my fifth or so international move (including shorter temporary stays) in as many years.
Being able to pick up sticks and move like that means living a drastically minimized life. Most of the things you have fit in a suitcase. Most of the things you have are small, and largely not overly whimsical. Sure, you can fit a few treasures into your bag, but you learn to value small ones, not things you might otherwise use to decorate an entire apartment!!
So, what do you do when you do have an apartment to decorate?
You ask the best known painter in your family to conjure some magic, The Painter Goblin!

Today is, apparently, World Goth Day. And I thought I might remind folks of this Gothic Tea Digital Print-it-Yourself art stationery pack I made a while ago:
https://goimagine.com/gothic-tea-printable-stationery-mega-pack/
I think it’s perfectly appropriate for some quiet time away from all the tech.

Hummingbird fans: this one is for you!
It wasn’t until I painted this that I learned about Volcano Hummingbirds in Costa Rica. They apparently live around the caldera’s of the volcanos there, and they are lovely!!
If you’re thinking about giving letter-writing a try, this loose leaf paper could make a lovely little package for your postal epistle! 😊 📫 💌
All the art is Human-Made. No artificial generative slop tool used in any part of the process. Here’s the speedpaint: https://makertube.net/w/hyGuRqjxFYoMU7MzCGPomx

Moms like letters.
Here in the US, Mother’s Day is today. And even though they may not get your letter “on time”, they still love getting them.
Write your mom.

For those of you looking to find ways to indulge in some "me time" that doesn’t have any tech involved, you might consider writing a letter.
This loose leaf paper pack features a Lilac Kingfisher and could be just the thing!
The art is Human-Made by me! No generative “assistance”. I print each sheet in my own studio, pack it, and send it to you!

I know that the male Cardinal gets a lot of attention because of their coloring, but I gotta say I’m much more interested in the female of the species. Their subtle and rich browns are so much more fun to paint.
I made this art stationery paper pack with complimentary tones of blues and purples in an interesting pastel texture. The caramels and corals of the female Cardinal really pop!
https://goimagine.com/illustrated-cardinal-stationery-paper-pack-8-5x11-lined-and-unlined/
This sort of product is for folks who might be interested in spending some time offline connecting without tech. Maybe indulge in some tea, listen to some music, light some candles, get comfy with your cat.
It’s fun to write letters the good old fashioned way if you let it be. The reward is in the process of doing and connecting, not in the expedience. The slow indulgence is the point. Like enjoying a good meal. Yes, you can get fast food but it’s already been proven it’s not healthy or sustainable in the long run…
"The art of correspondence contains the vitamins and minerals you need!"
Okay, that’s a stretch, but you get my point. Haha!

I’ve got some lovely writing papers up on my Goimagine shop, including this one: A Eurasian Blue Tit. This is a European bird, found almost all across the continent.
I think it’s perfect for a nice cozy personal-time session with tea, some soft music, maybe a candle…

I’ve started listening to Rachel Syme’s book, Syme’s Letter Writing, on audio. And not only is she a charming narrator, but I do believe she’s written a sort of “manifesto” that I can get behind!
“But letters still serve a vital purpose, which is that they exist to mock the very idea of efficiency. They require slow, gear-crunching effort on both ends, for the writer and for the reader and for the many hands responsible for transporting the envelope in between the two. Letter writing is a time consuming rebuke to a world that tries to optimize every activity into a seamless slipstream, and there is joy to be had once you fully embrace the medium’s outdated extravagance.”
and
“The truth is, nobody has to write letters anymore. We are all hilariously reachable, and yet the last place anyone thinks to find us is inside our mailboxes. Snail mail’s reputation has become that of an intrusive junky nuisance at worst and, at best, a cringy affectation for people who think they are Jane Austen. But what if we just decided to do it anyway?”
This book is speaking to my soul. We’re inundated with “faster & more efficient” all the time, creating “tools" to cram in more and more stuff.
But slow living, unplugging to reconnect… Those are things experiencing a renaissance. People are leaving social media in droves. Maybe it’s okay to sometimes enjoy the process of communication instead of its expediency?
