I love this space and I keep wanting to share photos of outfits I have put together, but I don't know how to do that in a way that protects my privacy ... It seems like a lot of effort to use software to edit the photos to make them safe to share, for example.

I was wanting to check with the community and see how women solve this problem generally, and maybe brainstorm a list of ideas of ways to safely share selfies / photos, here were some ideas I had:

• take photos with neutral backgrounds that don't disclose private information (e.g. location)
• use something like an emoji to cover up face
• find a way to share the photo in a password protected way (with what service?), and only distribute the password to users you trust (unclear on the logistics here)
• share the photo with an expiration feature, e.g. allowing only a certain number of times to view it (Signal has a feature like this) or that expires after some amount of time

Was wondering how you all find online spaces for women where it's safe to share outfits.

I know on Reddit, some of the subreddits for finding a good bra make every post a spoiler, making it harder for prurient men to easily browse and preview photos, etc.

There's things we take for granted that we shouldn't. What are they?

Misogyny is talked about a lot more than it used to, but then there's the Andrew Tates of the world getting more popular. Are things better, worse or the same overall?

I'm more of a youtube person myself. Here's who I watch:

Hannah Louise Poston has great vids on how to develop your personal style. She does vids on makeup too, if you're into that.

Christina Mychas helps with style too, but focuses a lot on minimalism and organization.

Stylish Curves does a lot of clothing hauls, which don't really interest me, but I like when she does videos about general plus size fashion, or telling us about black-owned or sustainable brands.

Beepworld. I have nothing in common with her personal style, but she has a lot of good tips on making use of what's in your closet and saving money. She's also the one who turned me onto Indyx, which I love for organizing outfits (will do a future post on that).

I'd love to know if you have any recommendations.

I've been thinking about getting a manicure and getting something sorta pearly and opalescent, it's light and I guess reminds me of the ocean.

Anyway - what nail styles do you all do for summer, what are the 2025 trends?

April is stress awareness month. There's so much pressure on mothers and so much criticism and parenting is one of life's biggest challenges. What helps you manage it?
