Thiis is an art card for a showcase at the Rochester Contemporary Art Center in August-September 2024. This is the information found on the back: R. G. Miller Tsi Non:we Entewaha'hara'ne (Our Path Forward) Tsi NonEntewaha'hara'ne showcases the art of R. G. Miller, a Mohawk artist and survivor of the Mohawk Institute Indian Residential School. The exhibit features large oil paintings and mixed-media artworks create by Miller from 2003-2008, vividly portraying his harrowing experiences and the ongoing impact of his trauma. This powerful display repudiates the genocidal practices of settler-colonialism and affirms Indigenous sovereignty through art. The exhibit is an important contribution to the national truth and reconciliation process in Canada, a process that has not yet begun in the U.S. This exhibition may be emotionally intense for some viewers, support will be available on-site during events. Presented along with the film R. G. Miller: Truth in Painting (An Afterno...

The sender writes that this postcard comes from her favourite tea spot in Tyumen (Тюмень). The city lies along the Tura River and has a population of roughly 850 000 people, making it one of the largest cities in the Ural region of Russia . Tyumen was founded in 1586 and is considered the first Russian settlement in Siberia, established to support the country’s eastward expansion. Over the centuries, it has grown into an important industrial and economic centre east of the Ural Mountains. Today, Tyumen serves as a key transportation hub and plays a significant role in Russia’s energy sector, with many oil and gas companies operating in the region. Its development is closely tied to the vast natural resources of western Siberia. It’s nice to imagine this postcard being written in a quiet tea shop along the river—one small, personal moment set against the backdrop of a city with such a long and important history.

The sender writes that she filled out this postcard just after watching Game Four of the World Series . In 2025, it featured the defending champions, the Los Angeles Dodgers , against the Toronto Blue Jays . It felt like everyone in Canada had Blue Jays fever. In Game Four, the Blue Jays defeated the Dodgers 6–2, tying the best-of-seven series at two games apiece. For Toronto, this was a particularly exciting moment—the 2025 World Series marked their first appearance since winning back-to-back titles in 1992 and 1993. The Dodgers entered the series as favourites, although Toronto held home-field advantage thanks to a stronger regular-season record. The series itself turned out to be tightly contested, ultimately going the full seven games. The Dodgers went on to win the World Series in dramatic fashion. In Game Seven, the Blue Jays were leading by one run in the ninth inning when Miguel Rojas hit a one-out home run to tie the game. Toronto was unable to respond in the bottom of the in...

A Postcrossing Meet Up card held in Ryazan in July 2025. It looks like about 9 or 10 people attended. 

A beautiful photograph of autumn in Russia . The warm colours of the leaves make a striking contrast with the cooler tones of the landscape, giving the scene a calm, almost nostalgic feeling. However, the sender points out that one of the postage stamps celebrates Moscow’s football club, FC Torpedo Moscow . FC Torpedo Moscow ( ФК "Торпедо" Москва)  was founded in 1924 and was historically one of the major Moscow clubs, enjoying significant domestic success during the Soviet era. In more recent times, however, the club has struggled. They were expected to compete in the Russian Premier League for the 2025–26 season, but were excluded due to a match-fixing scandal and forced to return to the Russian First League. In post-Soviet Russia, the club has faced ongoing financial difficulties and poor management, which have seen them relegated multiple times. Since their first relegation after the 2006 season, they have only appeared in the top flight twice—during the 2014–15 and 2022–...

This postcard features a painting of Saint Basil's Cathedral , officially known as the Cathedral of the Intercession of the Most Holy Theotokos on the Moat ( Собор Покрова Пресвятой Богородицы, что на Рву ).  This Russian Orthodox church stands in Red Square and is one of the most recognizable cultural symbols of Russia , famous for its colourful onion domes and fairytale-like appearance. The cathedral was built between 1555 and 1561 on the orders of Ivan the Terrible to commemorate his military victories, particularly the capture of Kazan and Astrakhan. Contrary to what many people assume, the cathedral was largely completed in 1561, although some additions and modifications were made later. During the Soviet era, the church was confiscated by the government and, in 1928, it was turned into a branch of the State Historical Museum . Like many religious buildings at the time, it lost its original function and was preserved mainly as a historical monument. In 1991, following the ...
