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'm in the exact same boat. I've always preferred "partner" over "girlfriend" / "boyfriend" since I think it's a better description, because they are my life partner. I also use it because if I'm talking to random strangers (like on the internet), they don't need to know my situation. I also like it because it hopefully makes the term more widespread / removes some of the stigma, since maybe people won't assume the person is LGBTQ (or just won't care) given I'm cis+straight.
But I too will be switching to "wife" tomorrow
Congratulations! I hope you both have an amazing day!
Thanks!
