Please help me ID a book from my childhood! I remember kids fixing up an old (abandoned?) house maybe in the sixties? And them sitting in a treehouse eating pickles, potato chips, and chocolate at night.

I....still cannot believe this is actually happening

if you're wondering why this legislation is needed, it's because momfluencing is a billion-dollar industry – “you can sell almost anything under the sun by tying it to motherhood or parenting,” said @slouisepetersen, author of Momfluenced https://t.co/HMKpNj96QU

Very interesting read about pageants and women pushing conservative ideology as a business model. Winning at Mrs. American, by @slouisepetersen

That moment you Google anti-nausea tea as a pregnant mother, the momfluencer algorithm will find you. Social media becomes the venue for IRL moms to learn from online moms. @slouisepetersen

"Momfluencers aren’t making money from the labor of motherhood, they’re making money from the performance of a certain type of maternal identity. That identity (usually) is rooted in (usually harmful) constructions of gender, race&class." @slouisepetersen

"The construction and upholding of maternal ideals has always been in service of white men in power. It’s never had much to do with mothers." A reminder about #motherhood under #Patriarchy via @slouisepetersen + @annehelen

I interviewed @krispykarni for MOMFLUENCED and her work is such a refreshing antidote to the glossy, prettified version of visual motherhood we've consumed for so long. "I was the storyteller and I could control the narrative." https://t.co/9yOgwuEUth
