Btw am I the only one who has this symbol in my head today and wonders if it’s circulating on 8chan or a Pyncheon subreddit in light of recent USPS developments?
* Pynchon
It’s a muted postal horn, a symbol of a Byzantine Q-like conspiracy involving the post office in Pynchon’s Crying of Lot 49.
Obsessives have it as a tattoo.

It’s a great rollicking fake conspiracy — & much more immersive than Q. (It also knows it’s fiction.)
It involves two postal services, & one is the mysterious private Thurn-und-Taxis Post, which was real & followed the Imperial Reichspost of the Holy Roman Empire. I mean come on

That’s so crazily Pynchon and cool!!
A taste: At a bar, Oedipa sees graffiti of a muted post horn labeled "W.A.S.T.E.,” & chats w/Mike Fallopian, a right-wing critic of the post office, who uses a secret postal service. Turns out Inverarity illicitly sold the bones of forgotten WWII soldiers to a cigarette company.
Why would anyone in the world read halfbaked QAnon instead of fully baked and frosted Pynchon?
