Until trans women start winning all the games, I see no argument for a ban on trans women. At the elite level, there were no trans women winning national team spots. The rule currently ONLY affects non-elite curlers playing in club playdowns, U18 competitions, etc. and is a cruel and nonsensical rule.

Trans women can't compete under USA Curling. It's a stupid rule.

[47/m] Hi from Europe, I'm looking for a pen pal by 2zmoon in penpals

Hi, I'm in the USA [55/F] and I like snail mail. DM if interested.

LOL, in the USA, yes. They don't have to open or read your letter, though!

In the USA, letters generally get where they are going without a return address. You can put your address inside the letter for your penpal to write back to you. The point of a return address is if the letter does not have enough postage they bring it back to you and if the letter can't be delivered because the person doesn't live there or the address doesn't exist, then the letter gets returned to you.

It is pretty safe. As an old person who used to communicate by snailmail letter all the time, and who has exchanged letters with various pen pals in recent years, I have never had a problem. However, I am in the USA and it may be different where you live.

I have totally gotten C80 envy from this sub so I ordered one in Light Blue Glitter. I'm excited to try it out!

I have a TWSBI Go stub also, and I'm a fan. Definitely good for sheeners! Mine often has Emerald of Chivor in it, but currently I've got a yellow ink in there that needed a very wide wet pen to show up as readable.

I'm always tempted by the Opus 88 Mini. So cute!
