[stewie_e]

Crazy that so many of you wouldn’t like this. what weirdo shit do 80% of you have to hide? Scary.
Secondly… I absolutely would want my family to have access to all my writing & pictures if I had passed away. https://t.co/v6FuvA8MRk

theyre called 'nude photos' iggy.

I already have a photo of my own nudes called "nudes" because I am a slutty slut who loves taking nudes

I mean, if I’m dead then it doesn’t really matter. Even if it’s embarrassing stuff, I’m not gonna have to deal with the awkwardness lol.

Also, I’ve always worried about things sometimes like my friends who I don’t live close to, ones who also aren’t connected to those immediately around me… if I were to die suddenly, then how would they be contacted if people couldn’t access my contacts list etc.

Yeah, this. I'm a freelancer and I sometimes think about how if I suddenly died, many of my clients would probably just think I'm irresponsible/ghosting them or something. Right now it's just a silly anxiety, but as I age, I'll probably have to make some kind of list of who to contact when I die and update it regularly. Digital life is weird like this.

[corruptionoflol]

yeah that does happen and it sucks, i found out one of my internet friends that i used to be very close to died 6 months after the fact bc we hadn't talked in a while and when i looked him up his fb page was a memorial

[semalina]

something similar happened to me last year - found out 3 months after the fact a friend i used to be really close with had cancer - i reached out to him letting him know i was thinking of him. about two months or so went by and when i thought of him again and went to go see if there were any updates on his gofundme, found he had died about a month after i had texted him.

[ripqueequeg]

This seems very...icky...i would just like all trace of me in the world to disappear when i die lol

Torn on this. If I could leave a list of people to inform, that would be okay

[willardwright]

I wouldn't mind giving access to the stuff on my phone to somebody in my family (well, not everybody, but my brother, for example) or to my boyfriend, but that's very much a matter of personal preference, I definitely understand why people wouldn't.

I just did it and set up my best friend. I'd rather her be able to act as a filter to pass the info on to my family so my parents don't need to see anything they don't need to see. It's like cleaning out a friend's sex toy drawer when they die so their mom doesn't have to do it.
