It's post office bounty time! Been a while, eh? I'm not sure how many of my readers know this but I have a PO Box for a number of purposes, one of which is that if you want to send me postcards or cards or whatnot, you can!

The layout on these was not my finest, I try to group relevant cards together, but sometimes spacing is an issue. In any case, top image is a lovely pair of socks, a gorgeous Discworldy-style sword and lilacs, a worry stone, and a Maryland Crab lucky coin from @shirokou, along with a super fun Hanukkah card (thanks also for the stamps!); also a fun holiday card from -- I'm so bad at handwriting but I believe @traykor, and I loved the car stickers on the inside!

Next up, starting in the upper left, a lovely photo card that I turned over to the text side of so that I'm not showing anyone's faces :) I do have to apologize too, I thought "tumbalina" was the username and it wasn't; the person who sent it is @algaegirl17 and it took me a month to come back and edit this in. SORRY OH GOD.

Moving on....

Clockwise from left, we have a pretty bird card and fun stickers (I also loved the photo card, and thanks for the giftcard!) from @jadesymb, a new year's card with a lovely "kick ass" sentiment from Inny and Deeks (also I love how you always greet the mail carrier on the envelope!) and a delightfully ghoulish holiday card with more stickers from E in PA (happy to add your username if you drop it).

And finally some more gorgeous holiday cards! Starting with the Hannukatz, top left, from Kris & Josh, and I'm wishing I hadn't covered up the spinning dreidel they're staring at. We got a cute polar bear from @kimmiesue13 -- thank you for including the cryptids in my mailing address, that made me laugh -- and a lovely wreath with some fun Avengers decor inside from W. in CA. Beautiful horses in the snow from @celticjade13 -- thank you for the Hanukkah wishes, Hanukkah cards are hard to find, I should know -- a gorgeous maritime scene from @elopingllama and I promise there will be more Teens On Boats eventually. Lastly, a funny card from Daniel the Tarot Guy, featuring birds looking at a sign that reads "Keep off the Grass" -- I'm sorry for your loss, bud -- and in the center a beautiful folk-art style card from C overseas -- on the flip side of the front of the card, they have outlines so you can cut out the little critters and use them as ornaments, and I just might :)

Thank you all as always for sending me mail to brighten my day even when I am profoundly late in both picking up the mail and sharing it with everyone :)

And for those who wish, the address for my PO Box is:

Copperbadge PO Box A3309 Chicago, IL 60609 USA

AHHHHHDGHDSGKS i am very jealous. and i'm literally bouncing that you liked it!!!

that episode is obvs on my to-watch list, but i'm still working through his movies. he was so freaking prolific, and it only got worse when he turned to television, lmao. his filmography page on wikipedia is almost solely about his movies, because there were stretches in the 50s that he was doing 2 guest appearances on TV a week, and it's literally not possible to list them all O_o

there's a passage from The Camera Man by dana stevens that i think about whenever i think of that Twilight Zone ep:

In a comic episode of The Twilight Zone, [Keaton] played a time-traveling janitor from 1890 who, after some mishaps in the present day, decides to go back to his own era. More than one of his TV roles shared this theme of a desire to return to days gone by. In the 1955 teleplay The Silent Partner he was a forgotten silent comedian named "Kelsey Dutton," clearly modeled on the real Keaton, who watches quietly from a bar stool while his former director accepts a lifetime achievement Oscar. In flashbacks he appears as his fictional younger self, his only de-aging makeup a ludicrous black wig—an odd choice until you consider that, even at age sixty, Keaton was the only one who could do the falls. Somehow these backward-looking TV roles never came off as a bid to rest on his laurels, maybe because they were projects others cast him in rather than stories he created for himself. When asked he was happy to play the part of a pie-throwing old-timer, but in real life he was turned toward the future, a time traveler who had arrived from 1895 and decided to stick around. (366)
