[Offer] Are you an RAoC mod? Let me send you a handmade thank you card [US to WW]

Just like the title says. Are you a mod? Then go on and claim if you'd like one! The card will feature a doodle relevant to the topic at hand. I know there's like 50 mods but I'll be happy if even a couple claim. Card will be suitable for display, for handing down to grandchildren as an heirloom, for sale on eBay as outsider art with no credit given to me (suggested retail price: $5 USD), or for simply throwing in the recycling bin (I hope you recycle). Really, you name it, these cards are multi-purpose and ready to brighten your day.

Again, RAoC mods only. Thx!

[Offer] 2 More TARGET: RATS Chicago signs [US to WW]

https://imgur.com/a/Y4F83Uv

These iconic Chicago signs were ethically harvested from alleyways after the relevant dates had passed.

These are from our Department of Streets & Sanitation and their insane artwork and crazy wording have made them a treasured piece of public art for locals. Definitely a very Chicago sense of humor/attitude for our official propaganda.

One is kinda faded and one is super faded, as shown in the picture. These are pretty big -- approx 15" x 8.5". Will be mailed folded once.

Comment if interested!

38/F // Feel like writing a first letter or two.

Hola, cześć, привет, merhaba, etc.

I am caught up with my existing pen pals and would like to write a chatty first letter or two. If you believe we would be compatible as pen friends, you may just receive one of them!

The first step to compatability: would you enjoy receiving a somewhat lengthy first letter, provided the letter was conversational and asked you questions throughout (ie, not just a wall of text about myself)?

If you answered YES, you may proceed with the post.

As the subject states, I'm a 38 year old woman. I live in Chicago, which is mostly ok. I'm currently in the process of changing careers, and my first day of school is tomorrow! Wowza! I'm also engaged and not really looking to change that, except for when I get married (but that will be to the same person).

I'm definitely a nerd and kind of a weirdo. I like riding my bike, making art, listening to and making music, reading, horror movies, true crime, video games, taxidermy, languages, and community service. I read tarot and have done so for about 15 years now. I do a lot of mail swapping/mail exchange, and like to trade art, ephemera, etc.

Other misc stuff I like: clowns, dragons, Furbies, woolly mammoths, guns/weapons, succulents, Monster High, photography, conspiracy theories, emergency medicine.

If you are still reading: whoa, why? Don't answer that. Instead, comment below 👇🏻 or send me a message 🫵🏻 👉🏻📧

Tell me your favorite horror movie, or your favorite non-horror movie if you're a coward. What was the last thing you read? A goal you have for the remainder of the year? Just some things you may consider telling me other than the basics about yourself.

🤹🏻‍♀️👽🔮🍄🎡🩻💯💯💯🔥

[38/F] feel like writing a first letter

Just like the title says. I'm hanging out enjoying my last day of freedom before going back to school (something that is only a tiny bit nerve-wracking) and I'd like to write a letter! I like horror movies, making art, reading, clowns, Furbies, bicycles, and reading tarot. It would be cool if you liked some of these things. It's also cool if we superficially do not have much in common. I find that as long as I vibe with a person, those things don't matter so much.

I don't want to get into weird romantic shit about what your favorite childhood memory tastes like or the number of freckles on your arm or whatever the fuck else Carissa's-Wierd-song-title bullshit some of you are on. I just want to gossip and send you doodles, maybe talk about our interests and lives and whatnot.

Sound bueno? Sí, sí bueno. Leave a comment or shoot me a message.

[Offer] emergency medicine blues haiku [US to US]

I'm starting EMT basic school on Thursday, and this past weekend started volunteering with "basically" tech duties in an Emergency Department. I also spent 40-odd clinical hours in a Trauma 1 just because I wanted to, prior to this, though I mostly cleaned fast track rooms there.

To celebrate this new chapter of my life, I want to send out 5 postcards with haiku about emergency medicine, in general. I will draw how the haiku topic makes me feel on the front of the card.

To claim, please be flaired and comment an emoji (or description of an emoji), real or imagined.

Medical Imaging in Films and My Ratings Thereof

Backrooms (2026) - MRI is central to plot, but its inclusion barely makes sense. However, we do see the machines -- as well as X-rays -- appear to be in working condition. 8/10

Mothman Prophecies (2002) - Mary sets a bad example for the general public by moving her head right before the scan. It leaves one wondering if the tumor / mothman prophecy she's diagnosed with is simply an artifact because she won't stay still. Maybe they should have redone this scan with some sedation. 3/10

Hola, me llamo Nunca; soy voluntaria en una clínica gratuita para inmigrantes en Chicago. Mi español es muy limitado. Lo estudié durante un año hace mucho tiempo, pero mi única experiencia reciente es en la clínica. Tomo los signos vitales y realizo el triaje de los pacientes. Utilizo mucho un traductor, pero siento que voy aprendiendo sobre la marcha. El proceso de obtener una traducción precisa revela mucho sobre la estructura del idioma. También estoy aprendiendo vocabulario, algo más importante para la clínica que la ortografía o la gramática.

Quiero mantener conversaciones en español. Quiero descifrar lo que escribes y aprender de ello. Luego intentaré responder. Puede que sea como esta publicación o, tal vez, algo más espontáneo.

En cuanto a mí, tengo 38 años. Me gusta la medicina de urgencias, el arte, las bicicletas, enviar correo, los tatuajes, los payasos y los dragones. Leo el tarot.

¡Dime si crees que nos llevaríamos bien! Me encantaría saber de ti; prefiero hablar con mujeres mayores de 25 años. Espero que podamos construir una amistad duradera; te enviaré arte genial o te leeré el futuro.

[Offer] 4 crayon vent art cards [US to WW]

https://imgur.com/a/6Fgz4hb

A depressed person scribbling with crayons? What a concept!

When I triage patients at my free clinic, I have to give out a screener called the TAPS-1. It is about substance use. Not many people seem to answer honestly. Occasionally I will get a patient who wants to tell me the answers verbally even though they are supposed to use a dry erase marker and mark it on the laminated sheet. They are always denying all drug use. Nunca, nunca, nunca, nunca. I enter it into the medical record and we now have even less information on the patient than when we started. It is a pointless ritual that erodes trust half of the time, and builds it the other half, but you can never predict which it is going to be and if any damage is done.

I give out another pointless screener called the PHQ-2, to test for depression. I watch the patients as they fill it out. Many people hover over higher scores, then, as if they can hear the people in their lives telling them not to exaggerate, they move the market over and mark "some of the time" instead of "more than half of days." If they mark "some of the time" for both questions, the doctor does not talk to them about depression. The EHR actually tells me that no depression was detected. This record is the only communication I have with the doctor. The people who max out the form seem like they were planning on bringing up depression during their appointment anyway, rendering this tool beyond useless and letting more than half of cases slip through the cracks. Some of these people probably think they are pinging the more advanced screener, or a "how are you doing" check-in, but they've actually been cleared of all sadness on record. The doctor will never talk to them about it.

These 4 cards were made with that feeling but about a variety of situations in my life. One is in Turkish. None of them are really about the free clinic, but I hope you enjoyed reading about it.

Please be flaired and say which one you want, if any. I'm working on my other offers but I already made these, so they can go out tomorrow.

[Offer] Dear Tasty (it's like Dear Abby but with my horrible reddit-assigned username [US to WW]

A situation have you troubled? Usually I use my tarot cards to mediate, but tonight and tonight only, I'm offering my genuine advice. I understand a lot of people do unhinged advice bits on here, but I think I'm perfectly hinged. Ymmv.

I created a form so you can submit your question privately. Feel free to be detailed. I will send responses in a notecard with an envelope.

If you take my advice and something bad happens, you are agreeing to release me of all liability by clicking the link below:

https://forms.gle/sdaqGXKiQ2ShLNAT6

Please make sure to comment if you fill out the form.

Btw, if you are wondering if it is a burden that I know the correct way to live your life: yes, it is, but I forgive you. I already forgave you when I read your cards, but it feels good to formally absolve you of all guilt now.

Thank you for reading!

This one-of-a-kind postcard features bright and playful colors as stark juxtaposition with the mirrored words "NEVER ENOUGH". Made when I felt like I was going crazy. I hope you don't feel like you, personally, are never enough, but consider...

Never enough pasta?

Never enough rights for oppressed peoples?

Never enough plastic bags from the grocery store, or way too many, but never just the right amount?

(your idea here)?

Bunny by Mona Awad

Ok, I know a lot of people have this book and haven't read it, or are looking for a reason to read it.

Let me be your reason.

"Why?" you ask. "What makes you, a 38/F from Chicago, different from all of the other Bunny posts?"

Well, if you're the first or second person who was supposed to read this with me, that's a fair question: I'm the same person (though I responded to your post, to be fair). But if you're a third, fourth, or fifth person:

• I will make an illustrated book report and mail it to your house. I already did this with another one of Mona Awad's books on a snail mail swap site (but that site is kinda dead atm). If you're scared of giving me your address, I will send you a picture of it.

• I can read fast or slow, but ideally I'd like to read it in 3 - 4 weeks, because I am reading a PKD book with my fiance as well.

• I have experience hosting book clubs, swaps, and meetup groups -- so I can structure things if you want structure, or roll with something more casual.

• I already have a copy of the book.

• I will not flake, even if I go silent for a bit (I am not the person who flaked in the other two situations)

• After this, we can read something else together. I like WGL but I also like weird literature written by men. Do you want to read Lapvona by Ottessa Moshfegh? Cool, I want to reread that. Do you want to get into Philip K Dick? Boy, I sure have a lot I could tell you about that and also a lot I want to read/reread.

• I'm a lot of fun. Don't believe me? I'll get you testimonials.

Did you read this far? Shit, you could've read the first chapter of Bunny in that time. Don't make that mistake again, and comment or message me now!

I will wait for you to obtain the book if necessary.
