I am not bald or really heading in that direction at this point but I have been getting served this subreddit on my homepage and really enjoy it on a lot of fronts
There are:
1. People who are balding posting themselves with thin and wispy hair asking if they should go completely bald
2. People posting before and afters of themselves they decided to shave it all off
3. People who are bald posting pictures of themselves, celebrating the fact that they are bald
It the right mixture of earnest, desperate and empowering -- which is what I want out of an online community that I am a fly on the wall of.

As someone who isn't bald I find myself wondering about the life of someone who is and how incredible it must be.
Imagine the cool breeze brushing across your scalp on an early morning walk, how rejuvenating. Waking up not having to think about how you’re gonna style your hair that day, how light you must feel, physically and emotionally.
How blessed it must be to wake up bald.

Do you know how much time I save by being bald? It’s actually a blessing. I don’t have to do much. I take a shower, throw on clothes and walk out the door. I’m harvesting so many precious moments of my life. I’ve reached all of my goals and written so many good melodies while y’all haired people been blow-drying, conditioning, snipping, perming, styling and living like normal human beings.

I’ve never had my hair this short but I just had this urge to get rid of it all. It was a desire that had been building up for years and I started to feel like my long hair was like a wilted flower at the end of the summer.
Also I remember a bald friend telling me that if he had enough hair he would be experimenting with new looks all the time. So I took that to heart.

Its a web app that people submit 1 song per week and then everyone gets to vote on the all the different songs but their own. After all the rounds have been completed, the person with the most votes wins! Its a fun way to share music with people and get competitive. Been using this app with other online communities and friends for a few months and have really been enjoying it.
NOTE: I created a PI.FYI League where the first submission is this friday. I limited it to 25 people for now not sure if I should open that up to more but it would be pretty overwhelming to have more than 25 songs to listen and vote on. The join link is attached to this rec!
