I'd like to start keeping penpals. It feels nice walking to the post box down the street from me with my dog. She likes it as well. If anyone might be down, please DM me.

My interests: music (hardcore punk, hip hop, arty shit especially), trading card games, anarchism, comics, horror, people.

My new (first!) postcard set is now available - five photographs and haiku capturing quiet autumn moments.
A small reflection on impermanence, stillness, and change in a spirit of Zen, and wabi-sabi aesthetics.

Getting ready to mail a new batch of stickers next week. Now's a great time to sign up!

Together we can share a little joy, and collect data on USPS delivery times. And it will distract me from current events, a bit, and feel like I'm doing something small and positive.

Please boost, for organic reach!

How it works:

1. You sign up
2. I mail a sticker to you
3. You tell me when it arrives

#ThreeGoodThings
1. Perfect pound cake baked to thank #StExpedite for favours granted and yet to be granted
2. My son managed his first unassisted 300+ points #Scrabble score against me
3. Tidied my room, found three unopened, hence (yet) unanswered #penpal #letters.

Five out of seven nights a week East Coast Flex gets a barrage of texts from me saying things like “
There’s a far off stereo playing in my ears rn” and “Upper body is flying through the air like a super hero. Bottom half is tumbling in space like an astronaut.” And yet he comes back for more every day 😀#penpal #friendship

I really really want a penpal. Who's up for a snail mail friendship? ✉️

Y’all. I’m officially a pen pal to a 6th grader who is dreaming of a career in STEM. (I promised not to drop f-bombs.)

It’s a program that pairs students interested in STEM with adults who work in those industries.

My kid is interested in “computers, human behavior, the brain.” 🔥

We exchange four snail-mail letters over the course of the school year, based on four themes.

I’m stoked.

I believe that kindness towards convicts or ex-convicts is an important virtue in life that I try to live with the ex-cons I know in my building, but I've considered joining a penpal program writing to incarcerated people to go further and maybe provide a little distraction for them if nothing else.
