Mod Post [Mod Post] ONLY RAoC Activity in Thank You Posts PLEASE

84 Upvotes

IMPORTANT NOTICE RE: THANK YOU POSTS

Recently, we have had an influx of thank yous for users who do not participate in RAoC, as well as thank yous for offers/exchanges from other subreddits such as r/RandomActsofHappyMail,r/postcrossing, r/penpals, etc).

We only allow RAoC activity on our thank you posts. Our Flair system is not for participation from other subreddits.

As a reminder, every single thank you that is posted is manually tracked as Flair by a small group of volunteers who give their time and energy to the subreddit. When non-RAoC activity is included in a thank you post here, it creates significantly more work for the Flair Helpers and Mod team. This is not what RAoC Flair is intended for.

Please only thank people for cards that were received directly from this subreddit. If it is suspected that you have thanked a user from activity outside of the subreddit, you will receive a message from the Mods. Repeat offenders run the risk of being banned from participating here.

If you have any questions, feel free to post them as a comment below and we will respond. Alternatively, feel free to send us a modmail.

Thank you,

Your dedicated Mod and Flair Helper teams

Fulfilled [Offer] I have too many postcards! [World/Mostly US]

32 Upvotes

***International cards are all claimed. US only now!**\*

***All cards now claimed. I will be working on these today and tomorrow. I will send mine out as requested when I am working on yours.**\*

This was so much fun, I will restock on stamps and post again soon!

I am a big postcrossing fan, but I always end up buying more cards then I can send. Please take them from me! I am low(ish) on stamps, so the first 30 (US) to sign up will receive a card from me. I can send 5 globally, so first 5 there as well. I have a wide variety of cards, so feel free to put a preference in the form. I have a lot of random things, so if you have a special interest not in my list add it in the form too. Here is a non-comprehensive list of things I can offer:

  • Beautiful floral LGBT+ cards (made by Transpainter on Etsy)
  • Legends of the National Parks (cryptids!)
  • Art from Japan or Alaska
  • Various liberal political cards (BLM, protest related, etc)
  • Post-punk minimalist versions of classic album covers
  • Ulta/Milk Makeup cards
  • McDonaldland cards
  • Paint your own watercolor cards (unpainted)
  • Weird vintage cards from antique stores
  • Lora Zombie cat cards (cats in a box, have full set right now)

I added a check box to my form if you would like to send something back to me. This is 100% optional, don't feel like you have to!

Here is the link to sign up

I am incredibly bummed out. I was supposed to get two orders of blank postcards today to work on my fortunes, and someone stole them. So I guess I won't be doing that yet.

I'll write out 5 more haikus about the movie Backrooms on 5 random postcards for the first 5 people who respond who have NOT received one of these poems or an Obsession poem.

Please be flaired.

Offer [offer] Atlanta, GA aquarium/ other GA postcards. 10 US, 5 non-US! [US to WW]

21 Upvotes

EDIT: mention if you are US or non-US

Hi there!! I discovered I accidentally brought 10 forever stamps with me on my trip to visit family in Georgia (stuffed in the pocket of one of my sweatshirts, in true stamp obsessed fashion haha). That means, while I will be slightly overpaying, I can send out some GA postcards 🤩. (For the non-US cards, I will send those out next week once I’m home and have access to more stamps!)

Comment below your favorite sea animal and why, or your favorite thing to do in GA, and I’ll DM you for your address if you are chosen. I will pick the 15 people at random by sometime tomorrow :)

(If you would like to send a card in return let me know when I message you and I’ll provide my address, but this is not required!)

Request [Request] Halloween Cards [US]

11 Upvotes

Halloween is my favorite holiday, and I wish we could do Halloween year round! I would love it if anyone wanted to send me a Halloween card. I know, its not quite that time yet, but I plan on starting a Halloween All Year Long Junk Journal soon, so I'd love to start collecting some Halloween cards for it.

Bonus points if the card combines Halloween with another holiday or time of year. Like a ghost wearing a Santa hat or something.

Thank you!!

Offer [Offer] Handmade Motivational Doodle Postcards with Tiny Original Stories 🐝🦕🎈 [India to India]

9 Upvotes

This is my first time offering postcards, so I'm a little nervous, but I hope they bring a smile to someone's mailbox.

I've been making some handmade postcards with little doodles and tiny original motivational stories, and I'd love to send them to fellow RAoC members.

Each postcard is unique and features a cute doodle (like a bee, dinosaur, balloon, or other tiny friend) paired with a short, uplifting story or encouraging message. They're simple, a little whimsical, and made with lots of care.

I'm offering postcards within India.

If you'd like one, please comment below with:

* Your favorite animal or comfort character 🐻🐝 * One small thing that made you smile recently 🌼

I'll randomly choose people and message them for their mailing details.

Happy mail! 💛

Offer [Offer] Postcards of Encourage to concerned youth/public [SG to IN]

16 Upvotes

A few days ago, I heard from a friend in central Delhi that Indian police were brutalizing both peaceful student protestors and civilians. I was aware of the NEET & examination irregularities for the past month, but not of the recent police escalation and violence. My friend has told me she is too scared to even walk on the streets of Delhi in fear of police brutality. Indian Police have also enacted Penal Code 153 and 163, and communications blackout across Central Delhi.

I completely understand the fear and rightful anger in Delhi and across India at the government.
If you are a student, youth, parent, concerned citizen etc. currently in India that needs a postcard of encouragement, I will be happy to send one to you. Please dm me. Postcard from 🇸🇬 Singapore

Quote she sent me:
"लोकतंत्र में सवाल पूछना, अपनी बात रखना और शांतिपूर्ण विरोध करना हर नागरिक का अधिकार है।"
"In a democracy, it is the right of every citizen to question (authority), express their views and protest peacefully."

Fulfilled [Offer] Mae’s World Travels Postcards [US]

9 Upvotes

Some of you will remember, last spring I helped to clear the belongings of a woman in our Unitarian Fellowship after she passed at 105 years of age. Among her things, there were hundreds of postcards from all sorts of places she visited. I saved them so they could be sent out in her memory.

Mae Woods Bell, age 105, of Rocky Mount, North Carolina left the earth on Tuesday, Sept 19, 2023. Mae was born in the UK, lived in Canada, New Mexico, and California before settling in Rocky Mount in 1951. Mae lived a full and consequential life. She was the founding and longtime Director of the Rocky Mount Children’s Museum, a founding member of the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Rocky Mount, a Twin County Hall of Fame inductee (2010), recipient of the Order of the Long Leaf Pine (2017), and many more accolades. She was a poet, a reader, a maker, a teacher, an explorer, ever curious, and an unflagging servant to her community. She leaves behind a legion of friends who are grateful for having been a part of her extraordinary life. https://tchof.org/mae-woods-bell/

If you’d like a postcard from Mae’s vast collection, please let me know by replying below. Many of you I have addresses for, so if you are familiar to me, I’ll get one out. If you’re newer to me, please shoot me a DM with your info. And if I’ve done gone and lost your address, I’ll message you! 😊

Must be flaired to claim. And if your username initials are TDA…I already sent you one today!

Request [Request] Taco Bell Orders & Stories [USA]

8 Upvotes

Today TB was selling enchritos 5 for $5. So of course we got 10 of them. I have 7 in the fridge & we ate 3 at the restaurant.

Normally I get a Mexican Pizza combo with hard shell tacos. The enchrito was good. But since enchiladas are easy to make at home I probably won’t get it next time. I don’t go to Taco Bell often but I’m always happy when I do.

If anyone has any stories or anything they wanna send regarding Taco Bell the mailbox is open!

u/TheCuriousCur - Thank you so much for the VHS "Ever After" card - I also feel the same way you do about this movie. I was going to say more but it would have spoilers for people who had not seen this movie yet.

u/BubblySunflowers - Thank you for the complaint card. And I have to say, what you wrote about with the pet fees just sucks. Some people get a tiny amount of power and just have to throw it around to make themselves feel important. It sounds like that is what happened to you.

u/JDoodle7 - Thanks for the birthday card! Appreciate the good wishes.

u/Hoolu123 - Thank you for the books notecard. Reading is one of my main hobbies.

u/LeglessShark - thank you for the card in response to the RAOC getting to know you. It is great to learn a little more about you!

A huge thanks to all these amazing people:

u/hoolu123 for the bibliophile cards. I love reading. My goal is to read 50 books this year!

u/Eastern-Witch829 for the handmade geometric pattern postcard. I love getting handmade postcards.

u/Classic-Power-333 for the Christmas in July postcard. It came right after the heatwave week. It made the hot and humid day waaaay better.

u/Ok_Theme7072 for the decorated Pantone postcard. I always love getting decorated cards since it usually shows how creative senders are. That is why it's one of my preferred cards to receive. I really appreciate having another one for my collection.

u/brookuslicious for the Statue of Liberty postcard. I love getting touristy and vintage cards.

u/FunFuzzy767 for the flower postcard. My absolute favorites are all white flowers. I will try to look for the actual name of the flower on the postcard. Congrats on your bronze flair!

u/TyeDyeAmish for the Venetian Pools postcard! I adore the stickers you add on it.

u/ReginaBeatle for the Pennsylvania postcard from your birthday extravaganza offer. Happiest birthday to you!

Request [Request] August Birthday Wishes for my Daughter. [WW to US]

16 Upvotes

Hello all! My Daughters 14th Birthday is coming up on August 27th. I would like to surprise her with a stack of cards from all over the World to help her celebrate.

A little about her…….My little theater kid, that is a quite a social butterfly, that has never met a stranger. She is kind to everyone, always helpful, and she always seems to have a kind compliment for every random person she walks by.

She is the kind of kid who wants to learn EVERYTHING about our world, and wants to try something new all the time. This summer she chose to try to learn how to play the guitar. When she wants something her dedication is truly inspiring.

My wish would be to surprise her with a stack of cards to show her how kind this World can be to random people. In return for all the kindness I’d be happy to return the favor and offer a postcard to any one who sends a Birthday card to her. Please DM me for the address. Thank you all!
