I don’t know if I’m being overly paranoid or what, but I can’t tell if it’s safe for me openly publish some spicy stuff under my legal name. Not to sound like I think I’m the most popular girl at school, but don’t most prominent leaders go by pseudonyms the rest of their lives? Not saying I’m Lenin but…
EDIT: Alright comrades you’ve won me over. New name, new me.
My vote is yes. It will probably make you somewhat risk free
OP definitely should use a pseudonym, but that’s unfortunately nowhere near enough to decouple the essays from their real identity on the Internet 😐
