Community Guidelines
Every story belongs to a real person. These guidelines help keep this space thoughtful, respectful and safe.
Share with care
Share original stories, experiences, reflections or fiction. You decide what you’re ready to tell; you never need to include more than feels comfortable.
Protect privacy
Leave out identifying details about yourself and other people, including full names, addresses, workplaces, schools, phone numbers and private account information.
Be respectful
Do not use this community to harass, threaten, shame or target another person or group. Disagree without attacking, and respond to vulnerable stories with compassion.
Keep content safe and clearly framed
Do not submit illegal content, exploitation, non-consensual intimate material, graphic threats or content that encourages harm. Fiction and difficult experiences should be labeled honestly and sensitively.
Stories are reviewed before publication
Submissions remain private while pending. Only an authorized moderator can approve a story for publication. The site may remove stories that do not follow these guidelines.
