I’ve been sending friends postcards because I got a 100 postcard set for a white elephant gift exchange and need to use them somehow.

The amount of “were you trying to make me cry” texts I have received is stunning. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😳" title="Errötetes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Errötetes Gesicht">

Little things. Five minutes of your worlds. Send love.

I say this because there’s a HUGE lack of a culture of gratitude in the US, and just acknowledging someone and that they’re trying their best in a really fucked up world. Quit trying to be productive when we are experiencing trauma and allow yourself to breathe and rest.

For folks who were curious, I ask my friends their fav color and address, then draw their horoscope sign a bonus gift. The second batch (first photo) was created during @KatVellos’ Connection Club today! https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🥰" title="Smiling face with 3 hearts" aria-label="Emoji: Smiling face with 3 hearts"> #postcardlove

Also it is so amusing to me on how people present their favorite colors:

Non-designers: “like...purplish” , “idk green?”, “idk lol”

Designers: “Azure blue and hunter green!”; “ #FFFFFF” or sends me photos of Pantone squares not knowing they’re getting a Pantone postcard
