The correspondent

Name withheld. Opinions, several.

Spends most days watching hoomans. Insists it's research, not nosiness. Takes detailed notes when necessary. Has formed several opinions by now. Ready to share with you, on demand.

Subscriptions

Letters, for as long as you want them.

One a month, posted anywhere there is a letterbox. Three months and up, and a second letter goes free to somebody of your choosing — signed by you. Stop at the end of any term; I will pretend not to notice.

Who else should get one?

Your {{pickedLabel}} comes with one extra letter, posted to somebody else and signed with your name. Tell me where to send it — or leave it for later and I will ask again before the first post.
Gift letter attached. One letter goes to your person, signed by you, at no extra cost. The recipient's details ride along with the subscription — pass them to Shopify as line-item properties on the {{pickedLabel}} plan.
No gift letter for now. It stays on your {{pickedLabel}} either way — I will ask once more before the first one goes out.
One month does not come with a gift letter. Three months and up does — one extra letter, posted to somebody else, signed by you.
Noted: {{pickedLabel}} · {{pickedPrice}}. Each button carries its plan id, currency, amount, term and gift-letter flag — wire them to Shopify (or Razorpay / Stripe) when checkout is ready.

Posted worldwide. Prices shown in {{currencyName}} — switch above at any time.

What turns up

Rather more than a letter.

The letter
The illustration
The coaster
The comic strip
The surprise
The un-rot sheet

No advice. I'm a cat.

Instagram findings

More of these live at @purr_next_door.

A few got out and ended up there. The rest go by post.

Observation number one: every adult I have met appears to be improvising; some simply do it more confidently than others.
Observation number two: every human seems convinced they are the only one struggling; evidence suggests otherwise.
Field note four: what the human feels during a presentation versus what is actually happening in the room.
Field note six: spent months looking for a job, celebrated on finding one, now celebrates every day they get to leave it.
Questions I have been asked

Answered, reluctantly.

It is only waiting for an address.
