@ajroach42 's article [1] convinced me to get back into physical media so I picked up these supplies for fun, might make a shareware CD later. I already had a bunch of CDs and paper sleeves, but i did buy a long stapler and some 9x6 catalog envelopes.
Bill Nale wrote in 2018 [2] that he could get away with using a regular Forever stamp on these, but the USPS website says you're *supposed* to use a Non-Machinable Surcharge stamp for 'rigid' mail. They're just like Forever stamps but they cost extra, currently $1.19.
Since Forever stamps are worth $0.73 right now you *could* just use two of those, for $1.46 total, and write "non-machinable" on the letter yourself. In hindsight I should have done that, and saved myself some trouble. Oh well, it was a good excuse to visit my local post office!
Now I just need to actually write something worth printing...

I've read a lot of books on independent and alternative media over the last 50 years, and there's a period in that history that I tend to ignore, but which I think it's time for me to revisit.Retro Social
