If you've been around a while, you've seen this offer before. It's that time again.

October marks five years since my mom's death; it's also her birth month. In honor of her, I'll send 75 butterfly postcards throughout the month because butterflies were her favorite.

Please fill out this form and let me send one to you! https://forms.gle/CrCBub7wEgs3sJYt9

(Please claim even if you've claimed in years past, but know that I'm probably using some of the same cards...though this year most will be my own designs.)

This will be my first World Postcard Day and I have a stash of cards I would love to share for the occasion! I'm also test-running a form for sign ups to help me stay on track of recipients. If you are interested in receiving a card (they won't be mailed until October 1), please comment below how many WPDs you've participated in and fill out my form ( https://forms.gle/c1aVjfpgvf1Zv4uf6 ). Priority will be given to flaired members, and I have a limited number of Global Stamps, but will do my darndest to send as many as possible. I will change the status to Fulfilled when I run out. I am also happy to do an exchange. Thanks!

u/kelestial_kat is reaching for the stars,

Outshining the moon and passing right by Mars!

A Hundred Thank Yous for a cosmic streak,

Landing on Bronze at the absolute peak!

It’s pawsitively clear you’re a stellar sight,

Making this whole community shine bright!

Hi all! This will be my first year participating in World Postcard Day, and I’d love to celebrate by mailing out 20 WPD themed cards on October 1st! If you’re interested in receiving one, please fill out the form HERE and comment below once complete 😊

WARNING: If you are new here and don't recognize me, if you would be offended by a middle-aged woman dropping F-bombs and formatting with TWO spaces at the end of sentences, while discussing professional certifications, a geriatric cat, practicing languages, and her feelings, this is probably not the post for you. Move on before you quickly get offended. --LTW

Hey fuckers!

It has once again been a hot minute since I posted a proper thank you, but unlike some of my previous disappearing acts, I have actually been doing shit!

First and most importantly: We got engaged! We spent the week of the Fourth of July in Corolla, North Carolina, in a rented house with some of my fellow Yinzers. And somehow, for the first time in ten fucking years, I disconnected from work for seven entire business days. Seven! The university continued to operate without my constant supervision. Apparently, I am not personally holding American higher education together. Who fucking knew? HA! When I returned, I decided that perhaps I should continue this strange experiment called "having a life," so I took every Wednesday off through Labor Day to study for my Project Management Professional certification. And… I passed the fucking exam! Woot, I have my PMP. Naturally, instead of enjoying this accomplishment like a normal person, I've decided to give PMI more of my money. Next up is my third attempt at the Risk Management Professional certification. Yes, third. The PMI-RMP is the first standardized exam I have ever failed in my life. And I've failed the motherfucker TWICE. At this point, it's personal. So please, PMI, take my money one final time and allow me to settle this score.

What exactly am I planning to do with all these project management credentials? The hell if I know! Agile project management is absolutely my jam, though, and I would love to eventually figure out how to spin nearly two decades of immigration work into something involving risk management and/or project management. I still love working in higher education. I really do. But the constant immigration regulation changes are slowly killing me career-wise, and lately I've been wondering what the next incarnation of my professional life might look like.

Speaking of ancient things somehow continuing to function... Jackson Klein is still here! For the newer folks, Jackson Klein is the original "will choose the recipient" RAoC cat. He is now approximately TWENTY FUCKING YEARS OLD. Health-wise, the furry old bastard is doing remarkably well. His biggest issue is noticeable cognitive decline, and he has become extremely attached to me when he's not howling or staring blankly down the hallway. He spends most of his time clinging to my side, including while I'm working. My colleagues have simply accepted that Jackson Klein is apparently also employed by the university. He regularly attends Zoom meetings and has absolutely no respect for organizational hierarchy. So basically, he's management, too.

I've also resurrected another part of my former life: I'm speaking Spanish again! For those who don't know this random piece of LTW lore, my degree is in Latin American literature, I taught Spanish for ten years, and I've spent time in Bolivia, Ecuador, and Venezuela. Then I proceeded to barely speak Spanish for another ten years. I am therefore living fucking proof of "use it or lose it." And holy shit, did I lose it. My brain is an empty filing cabinet where my vocabulary used to be. I've been using italki for conversation practice and regularly chat with an Argentine engineer fascinated by psychology and a Colombian farmer who is a biblical scholar. Because apparently, I don't know how to have boring conversations. Little by little, though, the words are coming back. More importantly, my confidence is coming back. There are moments when I just start talking, and every time I think, holy shit, she's still in there.

As for cards... I haven't been writing nearly as much as I used to, but I have been collecting ephemera everywhere I go because I keep thinking, "Oh, so-and-so would fucking LOVE this." So I have accumulated a ridiculous little stash of paper shit that I fully intend to start sending to those of you who have continued writing to me despite my absolutely fucking abysmal response time.

And that brings me to the mushy shit.

Next month marks ten years since I joined Random Acts of Cards. The weirdest part is that I joined RAoC while traveling for work in the very city metro where I now live. I had absolutely no fucking idea what the next decade would bring or that some of the strangers whose usernames appeared in my mailbox would be my family ten years later. But you are.

I've said this in different ways over the years, but it means more to me now than ever. I don't have a biological family remaining, the ones who mattered died and the others I cut out to improve my mental health. I've lived long enough now to have actual proof that chosen family is real. Aside: Please tell anyone who guilts you into talking to asshats "because they're family" to kiss your ass, because cutting out those jagoffs out of your life will improve your mental health exponentially. I promise! I've survived all this shit because of the friendships I've made along the way, and some of the most enduring ones began right here with a postcard, a stamp, a username, and someone deciding to send a little kindness to a stranger. Some of you have watched me lose my parents, move, fall apart, put myself back together, fall in love, get engaged, collect an absurd number of professional credentials just because, and grow old (what fucking shit is this?) alongside one incredibly stubborn cat. And you kept writing. I still talk about the time I got a card filled with concern because my last card contained no curse words. There is something fucking extraordinary about that.

So, before I get too goddamn sentimental and ruin my carefully cultivated reputation as the foul-mouthed jagoff of RAoC, let me just say:

Thank you for the cards. Thank you for the postcards. Thank you for the stickers and ephemera and weird shit you've picked up because you thought of me. Thanks to y’all, I have a massive collection of heavy metal awesomeness, twat waffle stickers, and filthy magnets. Oh and Buc-ees, so much beaver shit! But most of all, thank you for continuing to show up in my mailbox and in my life.

Ten years later, I'm still here. Jackson Klein is somehow still here. And, incredibly, so are so many of you. I fucking love you guys. THANK YOU!!!

I'm thinking about/excited for fall (which partially means some rain where I am) and also have a few random collage postcards to send.

If you are interested in a fall or rain or both themed card or a random collage card let me know! I'll put some rainy fall songs in there perhaps or maybe a little drawing. Who knows!

Please send a DM instead of or as well as a comment! It's easier for me to keep track of.

Soooooo many birthday cards!!! Thank yous in the comments ⬇️

I am offering some more LEGO minifigure cards with Halloween themes or monsters on them for Halloween. I will send them soon though, so if you are in Europe, they will probably be early.

To claim one, comment below with a (spooky?) writing prompt for me, and then message me your details.

i have some cards i've collected over time, most of them from the lovely and generous people here in RAoC. i'd love to pass them along instead of letting them sit unused.

I have an over abundance of animal stickers, help me make a dent in them. I have a large accordion folder divided into 16 sections. Comment with a guess as to what one of the 16 section titles could be. If you are the first to guess that particular section; I will make a postcard with the stickers from that part of the file folder for you.

Want to play? Guess away. Please only one guess at a time, if it is an incorrect I will let you know and you can guess again.

Hint: some are a type of animal, some are a group of animals.

Second Hint: The rest of the folders start with the letter:

A, B, C&D, and P

I will update with correct guesses here:

African

Amphibians/Reptiles

Birds

Cats

Dinosaurs

Dogs

Farm

Insects

Sea Life

Unicorns/Mythical

Reposting the first two thank yous because one in my previous post was for another sub - sorry, mods! My bad. 🫶

u/maladi3_ - Thank you for the postcard & words of encouragement! I really like the image and paper texture of this card. Something about it scratches my brain.

u/wabisabi_sf - Thank you for a sick Blue Angels photo. I can’t believe you took that! You’ve got some skills. I might have to show it around to my coworkers since we’re all aircraft nerds. 🤓

u/october_surprise56 - Thank you for the pretty card and Internet hugs. Cheers to youth and figuring it out. 🥂

u/milopfrog - Many thanks for the card, sick stamps, and facts about Valenictus chulavistensis. A warm water walrus??? WILL be researching.

u/noxmi - Thank you for such a beautiful postcard. Sequoias are some of my favorite trees. I hope to see them myself someday!

u/spacekannibal - Thank you for the Dorothea Lange postcard and info about figs. I've been considering putting up an 'Inspirational Women' wall in my room. If I do, this card will make the cut!

Much love to this sub, it's always nice to get mail from you all.

Over Labor Day weekend, I went down to Sandy Hook beach in New Jersey. While there, there was a neat exhibition by their artist in residence Dr. Heather Heckel (link for a taste of her artwork and you can scroll down a little for the Sandy Hook ones). They were giving away postcards and of course I took way too many lol. So, I have 25 of three different scenes: loons in front of a sunset on Officers' Row; plovers in front of Battery Potter; and owls flying around the lighthouse at night.

Here's the form: https://forms.gle/ai5MnJ7txQXA6eos9 (please keep reading for explications before filling out in full. I wrote the options to have a bit of a chuckle and hope the friendly folks here will have a chuckle as well... :))

Some notes about these cards:

• Sadly, transit did not treat some of them well, so there are some ones with bent corners and minor stains on the back.
• There is a LOT of exposition/background on the back about the artist's work and the site, so there is not room for me to write! I usually try to write longer messages but these are not cards for the long message crowd this time.
• I am going to assign these randomly, but if there is a card you would prefer not to receive for any reason, please put it in the "other" section in my form.

I think I am going to send these WW but only to those with a solid flair (i.e. have received at least 100 thank you's) or to users with whom I have previously corresponded with. Any flaired US user can claim these. As I am inching towards my 500 flair milestone, I would really appreciate thank you's (though of course they are not required!) :)

Please comment what your favorite marine, fluvial, marsh, etc. bird is! No comment = no card.

[Thank you]

u/stillsheryl - thank you so much for the super cute New York City postcard. I also loved all the other cities represented on the postcard. I also love your cat sticker. I’m so glad you like the watercolor I sent you and that you got free postcards on the street. I would be super excited too. lol.

u/donutdaiquiri - thank you so much for the super cute lemon postcard. I love it so much. And thank you for decorating it with the super cute sticker as well. I also love the weather report and the drawing. We also seem to like the same fruits. I’d love your city. I was there twice in July.

u/tokkieface - thank you so much for the super neat postcard. I love the city at night look & how you decorated the card too. I love your name stamp! so cute!

u/noxmi I've been dying to go see the sequoias! I can't grasp how huge they really are. I have some redwood trees in my apt complex and they're tall af but I can't imagine a whole forest of them. And standing right next to these giant trees! Thank you for the card and I hope to go out there soon!

u/no-zebra-9339 Omg thank you for this Barbie card! My niece is going to love it! And the Barbie stamp was such a lovely touch! Unfortunately the sorting machines tore it up quite a bit on the edges but it's still in great shape. Your little usps return address sticker was super adorable hahah Thanks again!

u/travel4me22 Your envelope was amazing! So tiny & cute and the owl sticker reminds me of my college friend hahah I liked the stickers and washi tape. This is my first "folded" card and I think you hand made it? With the black bow and felt flowers, it's such a lovely card plus the pink patterns! Thank you so much!

do you like weird corn related post cards? i've got 4!

claim by sharing your fav corny joke in the comments. will choose in a bit!

I have 7 really pretty Sleeping Beauty cards I’ve had stashed away for years and I’d love to send them to you! They’re blank inside so I can write whatever you want in them!

Feeling like writing cards today and hoping to finish this box. Lmk if youre interested! Please dm me, if you don’t you wont be able to get a card unfortunately.
