Some of the folks who signed up for my project finally got an email from me, thanking them for letting me know when their letters arrived.

Most of them arrived on, or near, the the day I had my surgery.

My recovery is still going well, and I finally had the mental and physical energy for the correspondence.

I'll be returning to working on the data visualization and art of the project soon!

Guess who's just found her penfriend from the late 90s and messaged her on Facebook and SHE REPLIED???? I'm so excited!

Cool local school project: Charlotte Elementary School in Charlotte Maine wants to hear from you. They are trying to get postcards from all states and 20 countries. If you can spare a few minutes and a dollar & send them a card that would be cool.

Mail it to:
Students,
Charlotte ElementarySchool
1006 Ayers Junction Road
Charlotte Maine USA 04666.

Thank you (English), Merci (French), Nkomu ngofu (Tsonga of South Africa). Please send them a postcard with a few sentences about your home state or country.

Saw this pitch by Jayna in the Calais Advertiser. What fun!

So I'm trying to do snail mail penpaling with sighted people. One of the issues I come across currently, is how can I, as a blind person, make my letters decorative digitally?

It's not easy for me to download some program and be fine. I could use sighted assistance but that kind of gets in the way of independence, and I'd have to find a sighted person patient and willing enough to assist.

Just some food for thought.

I find myself missing writing letters, and I wonder if perhaps anyone might be interested in becoming casual pen pals?

Blame my current re-obsession with reading regency novels.

  • No men, pls. (trans women and Nb folks are entirely welcome tho ofc)

  • Preference is for someone I follow already.

Fair warning I'm a socialist and what some might call fairly far left. Zero interest in centrists or right leaning folks to be honest.
