I like this idea for a #LettersToTheEditor #preprint server.
https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s12109-025-10022-y
"Such a preprint server would offer three major benefits…: format-free ease of swift communication, increased author visibility and accountability, and avoiding the homelessness of unpublished [letters]."
PS: I've sent letters to journals that had policies not to publish them, but without saying so anywhere. Once I sent a letter to a new journal that had never received or published one and needed time to think about it. Right now #SocialMedia takes up this slack and does a pretty good job. But posting letters as preprints would give authors more space, prevent even published letters from languishing behind #paywalls, and offer better opportunities for #PIDs, #metadata, and #discoverability.
“Letters: Poilievre shows sudden change of heart on 'broken' Canada
Readers offer their opinions on Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre's shifting messages about Canada and an opinion piece on charter schools in Saskatchewan.”
An interesting read about "transvestites" in the '60s and social ephemera surrounding those exploring such feelings.

Reads: Dear Abby
By Abigail Van Buren. 7/9/69
DEAR ABBY: This is for "Too Much Ironing," who com-plained about having to iron her husband's undershorts:
Dear Madam: You really have high-class problems. I wonder if you know how lucky you are? I would gladly iron 7, 10, or 20 pair of shorts every week if my husband would leave my panties alone.
When I first found out that my husband was snitching my panties to wear under his shorts, I was bewildered and sick. How long he had been doing this I didn't know, but I'm sure it must have been most of the 11 years we had been married because when I look back, a lot of things make sense now that didn't some time ago.
My first reaction was to pack my bags and leave him, but there were three good reasons why I staved. They are three adorable children who deserve a father and mother, and as long as God gives me strength, I'll keen my home together until our children are on their own.
I am not a martyr, nor do I enjoy being married to one I consider less than a man. Love and respect for him have flown out the window, and my marriage has become a "job" and nothing more.
So, to "Too Much Ironing," I say, "Keep that iron hot, lady, and don't complain."
"OLD AT 35"
DEAR OLD: Since this problem is so close to you, I am amazed that you have not made an honest effort to learn more about it instead of flatly condemning that which you do not understand.
A man who secretly wears feminine attire is a "transvestite." And though it may seem unbelieveable to you, a transvestite is NOT necessarily a homosexual. So when you describe your husband as something "less than a man" you may be doing him a disservice.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR: The school district in Hannibal is broke. What are we doing about it?
I am writing after attending the Hannibal Public School District monthly meeting on Tuesday, Nov. 19.
Our district has been in financial distress for quite some time. This has led to difficult decisions for the current board. As the board navigates through difficult spending decisions, the

@mina @Nickiquote not only that, but anything that even closely resembles #cash in terms of #anonymitiy anf #fungibility like #Monero gets criminalized.
- Not to mention cash just works and IMHO curbing on it's use is inherently bad, to the point that I thing the #ECB should make an #ES2 version of the #500EuroBanknote as the rising #Greedflation makes it more "necessary" than before...
People who argue one doesn't need cash because #card and #NFC #payment and #SEPA #WireTransfer exist would also argue people don't need #PressFreedom because they can write #LettersToTheEditor...
- TBH I think that cash should be enshrined as acceptable payment methods, as the only exceptions I know [i.e. #RealEstate and #CarRental] are grounded in #security concerns:
Most car rental places don't want to handle cash and demand #KYC for insurance reasons and most banks and notaries (who also have to do KYC & #AML anyway!) have less money onsite than the average Supermarket has in a single cash drawer and don't like having that much stuff onsite anyway.
#LetterstotheEditor: #Bullying of a #transgender #member of #Congress is a #waste of the #American #people’s time.
#Republican's trying to limit SarahMcBride's use of #women’s #restrooms at the #US #Capitol is #disgusting, #barbaric and, dare I say, #unAmerican.
#LetterstotheEditor: #ConvictedFelon #DonaldTrump is actually a #threat to #democracy. It’s #OK to #speak the #truth
While I’ve been #critical of #columnist #JonahGoldberg in the past, he hit the nail on the head regarding #political #rhetoric in this year’s #election, particularly regarding the #truth behind former President #Trump being a “#threat to #democracy.”
#LetterstotheEditor: I was #deployed to #Iraq. #TimWalz’s #militaryservice deserves #gratitude.
I am #ashamed of the 50 #Republican #veterans who signed a #letter #denigrating the #militaryservice of #Minnesota #Gov. #TimWalz, the #Democratic #vicepresidential #nominee.

PUSH-CARTS AND TRAMS
TO THE EDITOR.
Sir,—Half-past two, and just about to board a tram to town, a conductor called out to me: “Madam, you cannot lake your push-chair on this car.” Well, Mr. Editor, rather than take a ride to town on business and leave my push-chair at any old place, I decided to return home. Tramway authorities in #Wellington want to wake up and adopt the Christchurch system of collapsible carriers fitted to the trams for this purpose. Failing this, will they publish measurements of chairs allowed on trams?—l am, etc.,

TOSETTI: A plea to Montgomery County
What a great county we live in. Where town and country meet, the best overall location in the State. Close to many major highways, hospitals, colleges, lakes, major cities, churches and we have good soils.
We are far enough away to keep nearly all the local items and conveniences we need and nearly all the recreational things neede
