About Me

Hello!

*** UPDATE 9/1/24: I'm going to be kind of absent on here for a while but will try to check dms regularly since I get email notifs. We are moving out of state in early November so we will have a new address and I don't have a lot of leisure time since it is a very sudden change. Be back soon!

My name is Fallon. I'm 31, and live in Arkansas with my husband and our young son. My husband and I are both medical lab scientists, but I honestly prefer the nature and conservation side of biology!

We have lots of pets: a dog (Ollie), 2 cats (Mochi and Pepper), 4 tarantulas (Princess Petunia, Chili, Minthara, and Gideon), and several tubs of other various invertebrates. I'm an avid bug collector, but trying to keep it small until we finish a big move in a couple years.

I'm not very crafty or artistic, so I'm mostly here to collect postcards. My collection is enormous! I have every continent except for Africa, which I'm still hoping for one day. I have fibromyalgia and POTS, so I am exhausted most of the time. Between my more limited mobility from fibro, full time work schedule, and parenting a preschooler, I am not able to travel much (especially in a pandemic now, ugh). So, postcards are my way of vicariously seeing the world through others until I can hopefully do so myself.

I log my postcards in a spreadsheet to keep a map of where all they are from, so if you wouldn't mind putting your city and state/country on it, I would be forever grateful!

I love birdwatching, nature journaling, rockhounding, reading, puzzles (jigsaw and word/number/picross), video games, spending time with my kiddo, traveling when possible, cooking, baking, and trying out restaurants.

I'm a non-binary, bisexual leftist and I am passionate about both conservation and human rights.

If you've swapped with me before, you probably knew me under the name Rachel (hence the username from like 11 years ago that now I can't change). I legally changed to my (previous) middle name a couple years ago. Sorry about the confusion!

Please Don't Send

  • chalky items
  • explicitly Christian messaging/imagery outside of art, storytelling, holiday cards, etc
  • heavily scented items
  • Conservative-leaning messaging

I was super into Harry Potter as a kid, but I no longer feel comfortable with it since I grew up and started really seeing the awful things involved and what a dreadful person JKR actually is.

Hey, I know you've been away for a month or two but I happened to come across your profile and saw you're into reptiles and amphibians like me! So I thought I'd drop a link here to the Scales 'n' Tails group, in case you're interested in checking out when you're next online :)
