Non-binary?
I remember seeing a book teaching you how to read closed letters through the envelope with your willpower. Maybe they are already a level higher 😆
Envelopes, the ultimate encryption. Just break the adhesive on the back and use a similar adhesive to reclose it. Most people don't pay attention to things, you could probably just use a gluestick lol
Bring back wax seals and signets
Ive done so before, but I rarely send letters now
Send more letters. On fancy heavy parchment. With illuminated letters on the first line, and your signature at the end in obnoxiously large cursive preceded by seven titles of escalating pretentiousness.
It's the only way to really get their attention.
I shall, lol
The lick-able envelopes can be opened and resealed with the steam from a kettle.
So you're saying that they're tamper proof in the US?
Funny joke… but you do happen to be talking to a tea drinker who lives in the US… we have three kettles…
Is that what parent meant? Who doesn't have a kettle?
US people are traditionally supposed to rely on the microwave. Or so it goes.
I mean it's not hidden just very small
the wonderful story of henry sugar?
That sounds close! I did research, and the book I remember was actually written by William W. Hewitt.
Easier to use the butterflies

This is what you had to do back in the day if you were too poor to afford a CD-ROM drive for your PC.
What discs are those? I can't make out the label.
Can somebody tell me where the battlestar Galactica is parked? I just hope I get there in time.
The only person who probably could read a CD/DVD with their naked eye is Cyclops from X-Men. Still need his visor to control the laser's power tho.

Didn't that teen drama Roswell High with the aliens have one of them "listen" to a cd?
Yeah, you can listen to CDs if you put them in an audio CD player but is just awful noise
You must be thinking of cassette tapes.
I bet Spock could do that if he felt like it. He just never felt like it.
