Hello! 
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🙋🏼♀️" title="Happy woman raising one hand (mittelheller Hautton)" aria-label="Emoji: Happy woman raising one hand (mittelheller Hautton)"> Unless it& #39;s super obvious/it is explicitly tagged, please do not call out locations in women& #39;s photos publicly! It& #39;s v cool that you recognize where we are, but it can often be a safety issue. And PLEASE do not show up!! This is why I post pics days, if not weeks later.
Had an internet friend tell me that someone showed up somewhere she was recently, and I& #39;m still haunted by it https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😳" title="Errötetes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Errötetes Gesicht">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👻" title="Geist" aria-label="Emoji: Geist"> y& #39;all- DON& #39;T DO THAT!
I& #39;ve also seen folks look at reflections in my glasses/accessories/etc and comment my location. Yooooo, stop!! https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🛑" title="Stop sign" aria-label="Emoji: Stop sign">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🙅🏼♀️" title="Frau gestikuliert „Nicht OK“ (mittelheller Hautton)" aria-label="Emoji: Frau gestikuliert „Nicht OK“ (mittelheller Hautton)"> This is exactly why I never share pics from my regular walks/locations/apartment/etc. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😓" title="Gesicht mit kaltem Schweiß" aria-label="Emoji: Gesicht mit kaltem Schweiß">
And y& #39;all- if safety is a concern for you, be vigilant with looking at your photos before posting! You& #39;d be surprised to see what glasses/reflections pic up, and I& #39;ve seen so many of y& #39;all post your address/other personal details on accident https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤦🏼♀️" title="Frau schlägt sich die Hand vors Gesicht (mittelheller Hautton)" aria-label="Emoji: Frau schlägt sich die Hand vors Gesicht (mittelheller Hautton)"> (I always try to dm!)
When we get back to normal life/conferences, this also applies to the question "what hotel are you staying at?". We never know who is within earshot (and maybe we don& #39;t want you to know either). Easy mistakes to make, but please be mindful! https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💕" title="Zwei Herzen" aria-label="Emoji: Zwei Herzen">
I think about this tweet from @LaydiexSkull a lot. It was the 1st time I saw another woman online post about her experience/fears around this + it made me feel a lot more validated in my efforts to conceal my location. I left @SwarmApp cuz of this fear. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👀" title="Augen" aria-label="Emoji: Augen"> https://twitter.com/LaydiexSkull/status/1236440001304342528">https://twitter.com/LaydiexSk...
Let me reiterate, even if you think you& #39;re "really nice" or "well intentioned" or "hey- I& #39;m a dad and married" or "I& #39;m actually a lizard" or "I& #39;m not scary"- UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES DO THIS https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🙅🏼♀️" title="Frau gestikuliert „Nicht OK“ (mittelheller Hautton)" aria-label="Emoji: Frau gestikuliert „Nicht OK“ (mittelheller Hautton)">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🚷" title="Keine Fußgänger" aria-label="Emoji: Keine Fußgänger">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👎" title="Thumbs down" aria-label="Emoji: Thumbs down"> It is never ok to show up to someone& #39;s location like this!! https://twitter.com/ChloeCondon/status/1319306482337288194">https://twitter.com/ChloeCond...
Great thread from @BenThePCGuy (self-defense instructor + all around good dude), on how to be more mindful of this (dude-to-dude). Has some great tips!: https://twitter.com/BenThePCGuy/status/1319329554087829505">https://twitter.com/BenThePCG...
tldr: Don& #39;t spill the beans on people& #39;s locations online. Let the person who posted the image dictate the narrative!
Also, if you post a photo, double and triple check reflections... had someone zoom-in on a smol shiny kitchen appliance button to see @tsmith recently...https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😳" title="Errötetes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Errötetes Gesicht">

In conclusion- BE CAREFUL, FOLKS!!
And if you see someone posting something potentially dangerous, or see folks commenting locations- call that shit out!!https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🛑" title="Stop sign" aria-label="Emoji: Stop sign">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="✋🏻" title="Erhobene Hand (heller Hautton)" aria-label="Emoji: Erhobene Hand (heller Hautton)">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🙅♂️" title="Mann gestikuliert „Nicht OK“" aria-label="Emoji: Mann gestikuliert „Nicht OK“">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👎" title="Thumbs down" aria-label="Emoji: Thumbs down">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🚷" title="Keine Fußgänger" aria-label="Emoji: Keine Fußgänger">

Really fascinating thread from @EmilyGorcenski on this- spotting location details is a lot easier than most folks think! https://twitter.com/EmilyGorcenski/status/1239306776153071618">https://twitter.com/EmilyGorc...
If you& #39;ve made this mistake before, don& #39;t feel bad- just do better in the future! Sharing this info to educate, not shame https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💕" title="Zwei Herzen" aria-label="Emoji: Zwei Herzen"> The more we talk openly about these things, the more we all learn! https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="✨" title="Funken" aria-label="Emoji: Funken">
