Welcome to The Shitpost Office
Shitposts processed from 9 to 5, with occasional overtime on weekends.
Rule 1: Be Civil, Not Sinister
Treat others like fellow employees, not enemies in the breakroom.
- No harassment, dogpiling, or brigading
- No bigotry (transphobia, racism, sexism, etc.)
- Respect people’s time and space. We’re here to laugh, not to loathe
Rule 2: No Prohibited Postage
Some packages are simply undeliverable. That means:
- No spam or scams
- No porn or sexually explicit content
- No illegal content
- NSFW content must be properly tagged
If you see anything that violates these rules, please report it so we can return it to sender. Otherwise? Have fun, be silly, and enjoy the chaos. The office runs best when everyone’s laughing.... or retching over the stench, at least.

I've been saying partner for at least five years. I'll casually drop her gender once in a while to remove any mystery for people who don't know me very well who might be curious. It really doesn't matter, but I do it just so they don't wonder about it because I remember when that mattered to me when I was younger and stupider.
But a big part of it is also that we're semi old and calling her my gf sounds kinda silly. We're adults and we're middle-aged. I might just start calling her my spouse, who knows.
But you're free to assume I suck dick. Doesn't bother me if you think that. Plenty of my friends suck dick on all sides of gender.
I either say, "my wiiiife" in a borat tone, or "partner".
Also wtf is wrong with partner? People get weirdly bent. We decide life shit together and do life shit together. Sounds partnery to me.
I've used partner for years partly because we've been common law for like near a decade now and even if we were officially married, it's still a partnership. I've never had an issue personally.
