postcards

/postcards84

A place to share postcards you found, sent, and received. πŸ“¬ Also, a place to find new frens to send postcards to.

Another benefit of using postcards as bookmarks is that once in a while as you go back to a book, you find a surprise postcard.

Like me today.
I love this card I received today so much.

From a fren in SF who I got into sending postcards. Feels good.
one day,
with more space,
i will find the perfect place
at home to show off this amazing postcard from @vanarman

until then,
very glad i can keep sharing it here ✨
Gm postcards enjoyers,

Catching up on the channel changes after a weekend spent mostly offline. Thanks to @bashobits for a heads-up.

Just sent out an invite to all the current followers, which allows you to share stuff in here.

Hit me up if anyone here is a postcard enthusiast without an invite.😸

Image: postcard I bought while in Tokyo last year.
To celebrate there's 80 members in here - so my nerddom is making a difference... I bought a postcard of a favorite painting by Max Slevogt.

Big fan of how it captures the light and shade in this Bazar street.
Loosely related, applies to postcards too.

Translates to: Send her letters. She won't find your f*cking whatsapp on the attic in ten years.
Just got an unexpected postcard.

Turned a SF tech bro into a postcards person. Maybe that's the impact I'm supposed to have in this world.
Loosely related... I decided to cancel some subscriptions and started to support creators I love instead.

Philosophize this even sent a letter. 😍

Should convince him to make it postcards in the future.
Using this poscatd featuring Gerhard Richters' cow as a bookmark atm.

Keeping postcards of artworks is one way I like to engage with them.
If Caspar David Friedrich was more into drugs...
Sending surprise postcards spreads joy. πŸ“―
Receiving a postcard from a farcaster friend >>>>>

Brb, gonna go touch rocks 😎πŸͺ¨
The kids wrote postcards to their grandparents and we put them in this mailbox.
Cute cards spotted while walking around.
Sorry. I can't today. I have plans.

The plans:
Found this postcard in the mountains. Who shall I send it to?

Name a friend who is criminally underfollowed and tell me why Onshould follow them. Will raffle the card to the kindest replies.
Collected another free postcard in the museum.

I translate it loosely to "in the end your longing for convenience / comfort will be your death."

Interpret as you wish.
Idagio even has postcards from... playlists.

That's such a great idea, I'll try curate one for the city I now live in. So if anyone else wants to make a musical postcard, I'll listen to it :))
Went back to the museum to find the painting in question. 🫑

Now all I need is a postcard of the whole painting.
Went for a guided tour of the Archvie of Avantgardes. Found out that the surrealist artists sent each other postcards of their artworks - the way to exchange art before instagram.
Sent a postcard to a fren in Norway.

This is how he received it πŸ₯²
Won two postcards at a Tombola yesterday night with art from local artists.☺️

Happy to send to a fren here. Maybe it'll bring the bull market back πŸ˜‚
Receiving this card from Brussels made my day πŸ₯Ή

Thanks to @tudorizer, @annoushka.eth, @woj.eth, @chriscocreated, @kbc, @friend, @oxb, @ciefa.eth, @freeatnet.eth and Kiwi fellow Anna whose handle I couldn't figure out.
Now this is possibly the only kind of advertising I'm fully on board with...
