Stamp Requests

A recent Ukraine Post stamp had one million copies made and very quickly sold out. The stamp is based on an actual event on the first days of the 'Special Military Operation' (aka Russian Invasion), and was popular on the news everywhere. A Russian warship (the cruiser 'Moskva' (Moscow), their flagship in the Black Sea Fleet approached an Ukrainian coastal island. And they sent a radio warning to the defenders, giving them a chance to surrender. The Ukrainian special forces operator responded, telling them to buzz off in more graphical terms. The UA stamp shows the island, the soldier giving a Russian ship the finger. I understand you might not be able to reproduce their design, but a related stamp could be interesting. And if sold as a Premium Stamp (either 50 Coins, or a special 100 Coins price), with proceeds going to the relief effort to the displaced people in Ukraine, this could help and allow us in the Slowly community to show solidarity. I made a post on Reddit with a more detailed story. And there's also the aspect that the ship in this event was sunk by Ukrainian missiles recently. https://www.reddit.com/user/yann2/comments/u87ym2/a_historical_ukrainian_stamp_rapidly_sold_out_a/ Attachments : photo of the Ukrainian stamp release. photo of the Russian Moskva cruiser.

His name symbolizes the resistance and struggle for freedom that is deeply rooted in the history and identity of the Honduran people. Lempira Day holds great importance for the Honduran population, serving as a reminder of the country's indigenous heritage and the spirit of resistance against oppression.

Lempira's legacy continues to inspire generations, serving as a symbol of courage and resistance against injustice. His story serves as a reminder of the importance of honoring and preserving indigenous cultures and the contributions they have made to the rich tapestry of Honduran society. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_holidays_in_Honduras

Plato, also known as Platon or Eflatun, was an ancient Greek philosopher and sage. He was the founder of the Academy, one of the first higher education institutions in the world and the origin of the term "academy" itself. Plato marks a turning point in the history of thought and laid the foundations for many debates in the history of philosophy and science. His ideas have deeply influenced major religions such as Christianity and Islam. Together with his teacher Socrates and his student Aristotle, Plato is regarded as one of the most influential figures in the history of philosophy. Many of his claims remain significant and continue to be discussed today, contributing to various fields of thought. Plato is considered the founder of political philosophy. His Theory of Forms, which argues that universal truths can only be known through reason, his conception of the soul as composed of three parts—reason, spirit, and desire—and his belief that harmony must be achieved through the rule of reason, form the basis of his ethical and political thought. These theories have played a major role throughout history in discussions on reason, soul, body, universals, ethics, and the state.

I chose United states as the category because I can't choose multiple countries, but I believe a Cryptid stamp set would be very very interesting!! It could feature popular cryptids such as; the Loch Ness monster (more affectionately known as Nessie), the Abominable Snowman (also known as the Yeti), Mothman, Chupacabra, Bigfoot, and maybe the Jackalope or the Mongolian Death Worm. I don't know too much about cryptids, so there could definitely be more common ones that'd be better suited together-- or there could be a "rare" cryptid set, that showcases less commonly known ones so people can learn more about different cultures and their myths and/or folklore! I just know that I, personally, would love to see it. :]]

The type of artistic drawing and lettering, with stylised lines and flowered, climbing plants, typically used in Buenos Aires, Argentina. It is used to adorn all kinds of beloved objects: signs, taxis, lorries and even the old colectivos, Buenos Aires's buses. Filetes (the lines in fileteado style) are usually full of colored ornaments and symmetries completed with poetic phrases, sayings and aphorisms, both humorous or roguish, emotional or philosophical. They have been part of the culture of the Porteños (inhabitants of Buenos Aires) since the beginnings of the 20th century. The filetes were born as simple ornaments, becoming an emblematic form of art for the city. Many of its initiators were European immigrants, who brought from Europe some elements of what later fileteado, which became the distinct Argentinian art form known today when mixed with local traditional art styles. Fileteado was recognized as a unique art after 1970, when it was exhibited for the first time. Inscribed in 2015 on the Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity https://ich.unesco.org/en/RL/filete-porteno-in-buenos-aires-a-traditional-painting-technique-01069
