Something I’ve been meaning to write a piece about but keep dodging because it’s just too painful: the way I keep toggling between photo in avatar and faceless graphic. Is my face adding an undue barrier to the words? Is my face taking away a barrier to the words? Is the act of toggling adding friction? Do I discuss? How will surfacing this hesitation make others feel about their choices? Is there such thing as effectively and authentically conveying to others that I truly see myself as endorsing either choice on their parts because I don’t know the landscape that contributes to each person‘s choice and therefore do not judge their choices even though I have these doubts about mine?
