Of course I can't mail them today, but I just finished 100 #postcardstovoters for Roy Cooper.

Pictured are 100 postcards to get out the vote for Roy Cooper, the Democratic candidate for Senate in North Carolina. Hand-stamped art on the cards picture a flying chick with a hero cape that says "Voting is your superpower!" and also a dancing chick with an Uncle Sam hat and holding a sparkler above the words "Voting is Patriotic".

The Duck and his plastic cow friend cheer you on with virtual ice cream:

Quirk, a small, white, stuffed toy duck with a yellow beak and underwings and small, black, round eyes poses sitting on the belly of a plastic cow statue, his wings outspread. The cow is depicted lying on her back and holding a two-scoop ice cream cone in one hoof, strawberry on top and chocolate on the bottom. She is relaxed and he is joyful. If you were looking for an excuse to eat ice cream today, this is it. The duck and the cow grant you dispensation.

Quirko Lowry declares this #antiquesroadshow live watch party open!

Quirk, a small, white, stuffed toy duck with a yellow beak and feet and small, black, round eyes poses seated on a navy blue pillow against a dark red backdrop. He is wearing a blazer made from a tweed fabric offered by Bookster, an English textile manufacturer. The fabric is named Lowry in honor of the sartorially spectacular Antiques Roadshow appraiser Nicho Lowry. Quirk’s travel partner had to track down Bookster, purchase the fabric and an appropriate-color liner cloth (not visible in the photo), then hire an artisan to custom-make the blazer. At the end of his beak, Quirk wears a black mustache his travel partner drew on paper. Propped against one foot is a tiny bottle of Champagne—ok, it’s actually bubble liquid, but still.

And! Wanna know what makes #Quirk super-happy? Reposts! He asks all who join the #antiquesroadshow live watch party to repost early, often, and relentlessly, to help the hashtag trend and, in turn, help the @roadshowpbs.bsky.social handle pick up more followers. Repost, repost, repost, please!
