The internet momfluencer that sprung immediately to mind was Love Taza, who built the happy Mormons in a tiny NYC apartment brand and fled the city in spring 2020 right before lockdown and lost her sponsors. She then published a book that addressed none of it (granted, it was probably submitted before all that.)

Kathryn Jezer-Morton‘s dissertation is probably fascinating.

Did you or anyone here read the Woolf book? I can't get over it. I don't believe here. I know, I know. I mean she doesn't seem like a reliable narriator. 2/3rds of the way through the book I was yelling at it.

I was wowed when I read the article featuring an excerpt of Rebecca Woolf's book. I was a keen follower of her blog way back. It isn't a subject that is written about practically at all by women, and if it is it's usually about how they were cheated on. It was a powerful, and in my case, slightly uncomfortable read. It really made me think. I would posit that we're going to read a lot more from women with the same point of view.

Hi Lisa. Out of curiosity do you intend to keep using Twitter long term?
