Hi all, I apologize for my sudden absence. My mental health was taking a dip since schoolwork started to increase. I also recently adopted a cat and my spare attention has gone to him. I hope my belated thank yous don't upset anyone.

u/onedarkandstormyknit - thank you for the "get out the vote!" postcard! I really appreciate having a spare one to send.

u/kinkyzilly3018 - Thank you so much for the cute cactus card and special extras, just for me! I do love fall. I also think that fall-scented candles are the best candles.

u/bobcrochets x2 - thank you for the pink polka-dot card. also, it's hilariously misleading that your name is not Bob. Thank you for the earth postcard also! 60,000 subscribers is a lot of people here in RAOC.

u/flufferoo22 - thank you so much for the encouraging card! I love the braided piece you included and I really, really love the stickers.

u/Jaimesayss - thank you so, so much for this adorable avocado themed card! I love avocados an unhealthy amount. Also thank you for telling me about Mufasa and Tracer!

u/skylineprophets - I've had this card set before, and it's wonderful to receive one instead of sending them. I hope you're well.

u/girlofgallifrey - Hello, friend! I plan on joining your subreddit (shoutout to r/fancymailfriends : a place for people that want to have steady mail buddies, but not exclusively a penpal!) (EDIT: r/stationerypenpals)

u/yellowflickerbeat - CACTUS POSTCARD CACTUS POSTCARD THANK YOU THANK YOU

u/quintessential-ly - I am indeed a registered voter! I really like the issues that you prioritize, I also will likely vote mostly (if not all) blue. I prioritize female reproduction rights, anti-racism, and pro-LGBT!

u/veganprincess - thank you for the grumpy owl postcard, haha.

u/shayoy - I enjoy this pastel card with the gold accents. To answer your questions about my apartment - I don't know if I can describe my room with a theme. I just like the things I like! There's also a litter box now. I wouldn't say that's my favorite decor.

u/lovelyandlost - thanks for the women in science postcard! this is the first one I've received. Social work is an awesome major. I like learning about social policies that influence disenfranchised groups. I like learning about different things in the United States that I've never extensively thought about before, such as our systemic racism.

u/velocityoflove - this card is gay and I love it!

u/talipally - Thank you for the thank you, lol!

u/szedecrem - I feel honored to have received a postcard with a stamp that has fries on it.

u/sawz425 - Thank you for the Halloween card! Are you excited for your wedding? It's getting closer and closer!

u/thebleedingheartshow - Thank you for this social work themed card. The quote "nothing can be changed until it is faced" reminds me of an important aspect of our society; it's actually problematic when people say "I'm colorblind, I don't see race!" Well if you're metaphorically blind, then you can't see the problem of racism that still exists, and you can't be part of the solution.

u/sumiimus - I am honored for you to have sent me your poetry. Thank you so much, I think it's beautiful. And thank you for the recipes, too! I like that they're laminated!

u/refreshilize - Hi! It's me! You said on your postcard you didn't see a username, but here it is.

u/hufflepuffpuff_pass - your username gets me every time, lol. Thank you for the fun Hello card!

u/floppypickle69 - Thanks for this cool postcard! I like your return address label and how it has Gary the Snail on it, haha.

u/reclusiverabbit - Sunflowers are one of my fav flowers too! I actually have a tattoo of one on my left forearm. Shoutout to the sub that this user created, r/snailmailswap!

u/chiledpickps - Thank you for the beautiful scenery postcard from Yellowstone. I did not know that was the US's first National Park!

u/theendofmysong - MY SOCIAL JUSTICE KITTEN POSTCARD!!! Hahaha, I love it, thank you so incredibly much.
