1/21/25 Update Thank you to all who have shared our post or sent supplies. We are so moved (and overwhelmed) by the incredible response! We will continue to accept donations until January 31, 2025.

Dear letter writers,

You may be aware that it's been a difficult and heartbreaking time in Los Angeles. The ongoing wildfires completely devastated beloved communities and have left so many displaced and in need. 

We know creatives, letter writers, and teachers who have lost everything and will need support in rebuilding their livelihoods. As a pen pal club, we're organizing to help restart collections of stationery and ephemera, general letter writing materials, and/or art supplies and tools.  

If you're in a place to contribute any materials, kindly deliver them to the address below. We will gather and hold the items and distribute them at an appropriate time.  

          -----           -----           -----           -----

Sharing this message with fellow pen pals would be equally helpful. Every bit of effort is deeply appreciated.

We're waiting to announce some upcoming gatherings and hope they will soon provide comforting company. To those who are local, may you and your loved ones remain safe. Please let us know how we can support you.  

Sincerely, LA Pen Pal Club

I celebrated Heartstopper tv's 2 year anniversary by going into a much anticipated surgery to remove my gall bladder. Going into anesthesia they ask you to think about something nice, and to honor the day I thought about Heartstopper. Since then I've been renovering nicely, staying in bed resting and doing some small walks. All is going acording to schedule. Longing to be back as normal with you all in a few days! Until then; thank you Heartstopper and the Osemanverse for being there through thick and thin, couldn't do this without you❤️

Repeat after me: My body deserves to be cared for, regardless of whether I consider it attractive or not

the thing about the portrayal of ppd in warrior cats in that, in general, ppd can last for months or even years after childbirth. and considering the lack of any real treatment or support, and considering how cats age a lot faster than humans, isn’t it weird how palebird was expected to ‘get over’ her depression and loss just months after it happened?

“being unable to play anyone that’s not my main because my muscle memory dictates i play them like they’re my main” is literally the most evil part of smash. the good part about this is when i forget i’m not cloud and proceed to be pleasantly surprised when my recovery actually works

In this season there is a very big set up for Charlie’s mental problems and I’m so curious how this will be explored more in the next season. This show has so much good representation and I think it’s so important.

Hey! You don't always have to go for the healthiest option if it's too overwhelming for you. The healthier option is already a great start!

You don't need to say goodbye to soda entirely yet, you can have a sugarfree alternative! It's okay if you still need nicotine patches or gum because quitting cold turkey is too hard! One beer is better than two beers! Three chocolates are better than five!

You get what I'm saying - progress is progress, even if slow! It's better to go slow and steady than to push yourself to perfection and then relapse even harder!
