One of two main text/image blocks I’m currently printing & attaching to my postcards (although this one has no image, I had too much to say!). The stuff handwritten on the left edge and the ‘fortune cookie’ glyph sequence are unique to each card. The other one has the last paragraph from this text block with an image taking the rest of the space:
"The Set of Modernistic Identities" (Excerpt) lostinmist.blog/set ::: “We get up and have coffee. We shower or not. Have that run or not. Turn on the TV or radio or other background noise. We drive to work or school or the grocery. We say ‘hi how are you’ and ‘im good’ and ‘thatll be seven fifty-one’ and ‘how was your weekend’. Occasionally we say ‘terrible’ instead of fine, but mostly we lie. We move things in warehouses and stock shelves and click mice and answer phones. We get blinded behind the wheel by the setting sun. We engage in audiovisualdigital looping behaviors. [..]
What do we need? –→ Policy ideas which are unequivocally good. == Example: Reinstating the doubled child tax credit from the pandemic years. –→ Things {nearly} everyone can agree on. == Examples: Clean Air, Clean Water, Expertise and Capability not Idiots, Ideologues, and Billionaire Disinformation Discourses. And see below. –→ Ideas to spread. –→ Example: Greater participation in primaries. == Resulting in: Less dominance of extremists and dishonest Scorched Earth politickers. RunForSomething.net, OpenPrimaries.org, VoteForward.org, LetUsVote.org. Example: Top to Bottom ballot participation and information. == One place to Start: StatesProject.org

At least cards 1148-1154 out of the limited edition print of 1500 are getting mailed out today. Plus the ones I dropped yesterday (no mail Sundays).
Here are 2 of the postcard poems, the first of which was sent to a US House of Representatives member (or whatever intern is opening their mail and deciding whether to pass it along), the second of which sent to the manager or owner of a Free Little Art Gallery (https://freelittleartgalleries.art):
Hubris & Malice Clatter & Candor Sound & Fury Signifying Nothing Loaded Silence Signifying Much Is this really where you still want to be?
Late Late Midnight 4am witching Hour Latte In the dark of the moon Keep your eye to the bottom line & stay in the black Turbulence Ahead
And the front of the postcards, same as always:
