Comrade of the Courier

Skyler's blog specifically dedicated to epistolary activities. Letter Writer's Alliance member. I'm not the quickest to respond, but the quality of the letters will make up for it! Μπορώ να διαβάσω και ένα μικρό ελληνικό, έτσι μπορείτε να μου γράψετε αν σας ενδιαφέρει!

It's my 9 year anniversary on Tumblr 🥳

You wanna send snail mail, but you don't feel like you have the time and energy for a whole long term pen pal relationship.

May I suggest postcard exchanges! Here's a couple.

Postcrossing - you get assigned a random address, send a postcard. Then once it's received, someone else gets your address.

Postcard United - Same as Postcrossing, just a different site

PostFun - same as the above, but it's an app on your phone

Now, if you wanna have a little more long term relationship with someone via snail mail, but you don't feel like you have the energy to write big long letters, or spend time on mail art (y'all who do mail art, it's gorgeous, I'm exhausted just watching y'all), what you're looking for is a Postcard Pal. It's a penpal you agree to send postcards to! You are constrained by the writing section of the card! Much more condensed! Where would you find such a person? Here's a couple of places.

The Letter Exchange - the print zine mailed quarterly has a category for postcards. Bonus - it's a letter forwarding service so you decide when you give your postcard pal your address.

Postcrossing Forums - you will need to sign up to get access, there is a Penpal forum.

r/penpals and r/penpalsover30 - Does what it says on the tin, but you do have to sort through people who want emailpals as well.

A vintage (antique? Idk how old it has to be to count) postcard I picked up last summer in Nashua, postmarked 1907. I've kept the misspellings but tried to write out the message as clear as I can see it in the alt text.

I think it’s safe to say my wax seal “hobby” has passed well into the territory of “obsession”

Having a pen pal during this digital age is priceless.
