Honestly I'm so damn mad I only found out about "poste restante"/general delivery after I started working at a post office >8|

What a useful service. There have been so many situations where I've turned down gifts and samples b/c I didn't want to give my address out and I'm not important or rich enough to have use for a PO box.

yvannairie: drawing of someone experiencing visible silence (why)
So, like, it's not lost on me that a lot of the current purity wank on the internet is due to it becoming more difficult maintaining proper boundaries with online "spaces" being so malleable these days, but I do, distinctly, remember being on-board with a lot of "anti" rhetoric when it was still about not making sexual comment in the tags/visible to the OP and maybe not reblogging certain content onto your NSFW blogs at all because engaging with someone's content sexually when that's not an explicitly agreed-upon thing is potentially violating a boundary that can be there for any number of reasons

and that being, like, fairly fucking uncontroversial, at least much less so than the whole thing about what content needs to be tagged and how,

but now people feel entirely comfortable adding snappy quips decrying people 'lewding' on wholesome content while reblogging things about it (that are, I might add, entirely nonsexual to begin with) or putting posts threatening "freaks" in the general tag of a family-friendly fandom without tagging NSFW and it's apparently not a violation of any kind of a boundary to do that because... you're saying the content is bad.

Like, I'm actually pretty late to pointing this out, I know there are people who have a hard boundary on people not bringing up CSEM/CSA in their tags that gets disrespected all the time because someone needs to perform some purity, but I finally got so personally tired of it, from reblogging robot content, that I actually made my first original post in months just to be like "fucking really????"

I can't even imagine how bad this situation is on Twitter.
