When you’re taking pictures of yourself, don’t use a mirror, it’ll double the dirt and distort you. Just put your phone on a little tripod (very cheap) at waist level roughly 6 feet away, and use the self-timer. Try not to go any lower, that’s how you look like a giant with a chin. Too high above you, and you can look like you have a massive had, and a small body.

Face the light source, not away from it, and diffuse lighting is generally better.

There’s loads of posing guides out their, generally just try to get your whole body standing up. Maybe hit THE POSE.

Oops, forgot to hit post when I first finished, no matter.

    patriarchy disguised as matriarchy, transphobia, bioessentialism, and anti feminism (additional content warning reveal below)
    inc*st mention

    The (actually quite patriarchal) “matriarchy girl boss” people really make me super uncomfortable 😭 its so sad how this messaging just flies over people’s heads who dont know any better, like some of these replies are likely bots, but its so easy for these grifting terfy types to just dial it in and for people to gloss it over and run with it. Like just swiping a few pictures deep and we have “the pill causes inc*st” disguised as feminism.

    Unfortunately a few people close to me are in a group that heavily plays into these tropes, i went to the group once and never went again. She keeps inviting me but its one of those “women and non binary female identifying” spaces where everyone is expected to share their period cycle.
