So I'm trying to do snail mail penpaling with sighted people. One of the issues I come across currently, is how can I, as a blind person, make my letters decorative digitally?

It's not easy for me to download some program and be fine. I could use sighted assistance but that kind of gets in the way of independence, and I'd have to find a sighted person patient and willing enough to assist.

Just some food for thought.

Argh... That was hard coming up with 5 Questions, to be answered by #SnailMail on a #penpal forum. @snailmail

I find myself missing writing letters, and I wonder if perhaps anyone might be interested in becoming casual pen pals?

Blame my current re-obsession with reading regency novels.

* No men, pls. (trans women and Nb folks are entirely welcome tho ofc)

* Preference is for someone I follow already.

Fair warning I'm a socialist and what some might call fairly far left. Zero interest in centrists or right leaning folks to be honest.

Poiché ho solo un #penpal al momento, e poiché mi piace scrivere e scambiare idee in libertà, affido a questo social lo scouting di un nuovo amico di penna.

Scrivo in #italiano, sono amante della #saggistica, della #narrativa e recentemente ho iniziato la lettura della Bibbia, sebbene mi trovi solo nella parte introduttiva.

Se avete abbastanza motivazioni e cercate un corrispondente a distanza con cui sfogare la vostra voglia di scrivere sono a disposizione.

Offro rispetto e gentilezza.

Anyone have a 6yo that would like a pen pal? My kid love to get mail and is learning to write. I think a pen pal would be awesome for him. #penpal

Sometimes, the bug is in the data and not the code. And sometimes, these bugs result in some fun visuals. Well, at least I amuse myself with these. Ha!

This one is from my still-in-developement #StickersAndStamps project

Prepping for #typing a letter to a #penpal and thought to describe some of my #ttrpgSolo PCs - just the ones with journals. I found 37.
Maybe I will just share the #PNW weather.

I finally took some quiet time to write back to a Bulgarian pen pal. Fountain pen, some sort of glossy scrap paper, some international stamps. Taking a moment to acknowledge what she wrote me, express relief she survived Covid, then say a bit about the situation here, maybe describe the approach of warmer days. All in that language that stands between.

I've been away from mastodon for a second. Oops. In that span of time I picked up #reading physical books from the #library again (and a couple second hand) and I started playing with #neocities . What I need to get back to is #studying for my Advanced Admin SF cert and writing #penpal letters. :blobfoxcatmasksweats:

In the spirit of #InCoWriMo I’m going to attempt to write 28 letters this month. I’m already two behind (three of you count today). This should help me get through my penpal backlog.

Who wants to join me?!

Time for #penpal letters~
