Unable to keep up with text massage conversations consistently with my schedule, I am looking to develop a correspondence through postcards. My dear long term-long distance friends who I’ve wrote to, have proven to be poor pen palls. As of now I am considering opening it up to estranged best friends and random instagram followers, I believe this is my new frontier for social connection. This was only intensified by the Cruising Utopia chapter on the New York Correspondence School.

📬Sometimes there’s too much ongoing-ness in texting for me. Write 3 sentences and put a postcard in the mail - you may never get a reply!

📬I find a long letter to be a bit daunting but I would love to send people postcards! I have a lot that I’ve collected and I like the quickness of a short note!

🎪If you love ephemera and old photographs, and would like to exchange stories and interests via the postal service- keep reading! do you make a mean art and craft and need somewhere to put it? have you ever thought to yourself: "man oh man I love stamps"? does the photo on my profile evoke inspiration of headstrong women, and the possibility of someday riding a horse? have you ever had the urge to larp in a casual new age way?
I've written letters as a hobby for ages and have found that it scratches an otherwise unreachable itch- one that I can only compare to how a small business owner might feel about selling their creations. Except that the creation is and will be whatever has been on my mind, but still accompanied by beautiful packaging and a personalized opening experience (this is where you jump for joy). I hope to find a new friend, someone to read all about in 1-5 business days.
If you think this could be you, reach out! Consider this an application for a shiny new penpal, and connect with others as well- lotsa interesting folks on here.

💿I have been making monthly playlists for the past 4 and a half years, I do not skip months. They have been the most consistent tracking of my life over this time. There are a few rules, no full albums can be added and no songs can be repeated from past playlists. They range from 10 to 30 songs. I can tell how I was doing based on the number of songs and how congealed the musical narrative is. At this point they are habit, I make them to listen to during each month but I also make them to look back on. Producing a nostalgia for each month of each year. There are no overarching themes and these playlists decentralize my music taste, the yearly review lacks month to month consistency.

🖼I love the focus of everyone in the room, for 5, 10, 20 minutes at a time everyone is just there, observing and drawing. I do it only for me, it is not for a class and it is not a skill I am in desperate need of improving. I make work, some good some bad, and I enjoy the act of making and the grounding it gives me. I like the vulnerability of the space, there is no hiding the work you’re making.
As an architecture student I do not trust the art students who do not come to the open figure drawing sessions, like what are you scared of?
