What is shared about oneself:

Hi! I'm Collin. I'm 26 and from Alabama, but I live in Kentucky with my husband. I am genderqueer and use any combination of he/she/they pronouns. It's nice to meet you 😊

Life's too short to take things so seriously. We're all going to die and quickly be forgotten anyway. Nothing really matters! Embrace whimsy; reject seriousness!

My BA is in history of art, and I love traveling (especially by train!), as well as gardening, cats, good wine, and live music. I've been some combination of vegetarian/vegan for going on 12 years now, and I love veganizing old recipes.

Medieval and Renaissance paintings are my favorite, as well as high Gothic architecture, but I'm a big fan of the Rococo too.

I've only worked for nonprofits, from LGBTQ+ advocacy to food banks to, currently, a sustainable rural development NGO. I'm a big fan of writing letters/cards, and actively volunteer to write letters to socially isolated senior citizens, hospitalized children, and inmates on death row/serving life sentences. I firmly believe in showing empathy no matter what someone's done.

I also love board, card, and video games! Some of my favorites include Ticket to Ride, Carcassonne, and Disney Villainous; classic card games like Rook, Rummy, Hearts, and Spades; and retro (ie GameCube and older) games, but specifically Pokemon, Mario, and Super Smash Bros.

I don't watch a lot of TV or movies, but Avatar: The Last Airbender is my favorite show of all time. I mostly read nonfiction - I love reading history, religious texts/theology, biographies, and memoirs.

I've been to 33 US States/Territories and ~17 countries so far. I'm hoping to move to Spain (specifically the Madrid metro area) some time in the next year or so.

I've recently started embracing my affinity for postal systems, and am very excited to grow my budding collections of stamps, postcards, and currencies. I just love that, through the post, I can reach so much of the world from my little house in rural Kentucky. That's truly incredible, and I try to not take this for granted. I like revisiting my collection so I can remember all the connections and memories I've made with or through them. I like to think of my collection as my own little museum of correspondence and connection.

Lastly, I'm American by affliction; I am ashamed of my country, and I'm terribly nervous about where the US - and the rest of the world, consequently - are headed. And I am deeply, deeply sorry; I did not vote for this.

Happy mailing ! ❤
