A NOTE ABOUT COVID-19
The Center for Disease Control and Prevention and says the risk of transmission of the novel coronavirus via mail and packages is very low.
Even with that in mind, remember to wash your hands often and avoid touching your face. Even if you really, really like your card, please don’t put it in your mouth!
Frequently asked questions
Why are you doing this?
I used to give these out at live shows of The Adventure Zone, and often got asked if I can mail them to people who can't come to the shows. It costs money to do that, and I thought to myself: what will I use this money for? I love donating money to charity and supporting causes that make the world a better place, so just think of it like I'm matching your donation!
What do I get?
One postcard in exchange for each act of kindness. My current postcards have art from The Adventure Zone on them, and come in a bunch of different designs that you can choose from.
What counts as "something nice for the world"?
That's up to you! All I ask if that you do something nice and tell me what you did. This is an honour-based transaction, so I'm not going to check up on you. I just want you to brag to me about how you made the world a better place.
Money-based ideas: Donate to Watsi or another high impact and transparent charity. Help fund surgery or free shape-wear for trans* folks. Fund Planned Parenthood's fight for reproductive rights. Give money to a local charity or cause. Give money to an individual who needs it.
Time-based ideas: Volunteer at a soup kitchen, a pet rescue, or a tutoring program. Pick up groceries for someone who can’t go to the store. Protest for something you believe in. Spread the word about an important cause.
Cheap, quick ideas: Call your political representative and leave a quick message that will make a huge impact (US service). Tweet/share a link to a donate to a cause. Do something nice for someone you care about, like making them a card or taking them to lunch.
When will I get my card?
I'll send them out in batches (probably when 20 of that particular card has been ordered) and they'll arrive at some point in the future after that! If you're not in the United States it will take longer for me to send you your card since I have to mail it manually, but I promise I still love you and am happy to send it!
