Yes! Free Stickers!

Let's face the facts. For most of the internet, you don't get to pick what you want to see. The infinite feeds of social media decide for you, instead of only showing you the people you clicked the Follow button on. The alternatives aren't great either: no one wants to sign up for another online account to abandon, or another email newsletter to ignore. If you want to be seen or heard yourself, you'll have to keep posting and posting and posting, and you'll end up forgotten in the noise the moment you stop.

But here's my idea: I will mail you a free TabF5 sticker to anywhere in the world! Wherever you decide to stick it, you'll likely see it again later. Every time you see it in the future, you'll be reminded to come back here to see what's new, but only when you want to. Your online life belongs to you, not the algorithms.

"I want one! How do I get them?"

To get your free sticker, just send me an email saying which design you want! DO NOT INCLUDE YOUR NAME OR ADDRESS UNTIL I REPLY. Once I do and get your shipping details, I'll mail the sticker and fully delete our emails to respect your privacy. Your email address will remain logged unless you request I delete that too.

More Q&A

"Thanks for the sticker! Can I have another one?"

Maybe! I'm still figuring out the rules for these free stickers, but for now I'll set a limit of 1 sticker per person (and 2 per household) every 6 months. Exceptions could be made depending on your situation- just ask!

"What if I sent you the wrong address?"

When you email me, I'll be sure to double-check that your address is correct before mailing you a sticker. However, I only send out these stickers with a fake return address and no tracking number. If your sticker gets lost in the mail, it's gone forever. Sorry.

"Do you actually mail stickers internationally?"

Yes! The same rules still apply though: all stickers are mailed with a fake return address and no tracking number. If the envelope gets lost in the mail, it's gone for good. Lo siento.

"How long will it take for my sticker to arrive?"

For anyone in the lower 48 states, it should only take 1-5 days. Alaska or Hawaii can take 7-10 days. For everyone else, I recommend making an account on Postcrossing, going to your country's profile, and clicking on someone from the "Most active members" section. In the "Received" tab, search for "U.S.A." to get estimated delivery times to your country. (Be sure to change your Account Status to "Inactive" so you don't start receiving postcards.) The speed at which those people get their postcards from the US should give you an idea. Otherwise, assume the best-case international delivery time is 1 month. It can take up to 1 year if you live somewhere really remote.

"How are you going to enforce the one-sticker limit if you delete everyone's data?"

I don't really have a formal way of doing this. Storing a list of real names and addresses is a massive liability, and I'm going to continue avoiding that option forever. Most people will probably choose to keep their email addresses logged, but I'll otherwise just try to spot anyone abusing this giveaway if I mentally recognize a name or shipping address. I will only print as many stickers as I can afford, and I can pause or end this whole thing if I somehow attract any hoarders.

"Aren't real mailboxes also filled with junk like emails?"

Yeah, but this is cooler.
