My latest banger!! How does Romantasy play into fascist aesthetics? Is the single bed at the inn related to an under discussed feudal economy? Can shadow daddies be woke?? Stay tuned πππ
Down with neo-Puritanism!! Make romance hot again!! My favorite thing i wrote in 2024 πππ
back in the saddle for a writing project after my brief hiatus and happy to report that revising still feels like being stabbed in the heart π

I am so appreciative of my time in academia & the insights I gained as an author, editor, and peer reviewer.
petit & exciting announcement...I have officially finished my first month in a new role as a humanities journals publisher β¨ looking forward to contributing to scholarship production from the other side of the aisle π
Ooo I have not but it sounds intriguing π adding to my TBR!! βοΈ
lol!! Thank you so much for reading π§‘ this was a really interesting piece to knit together re gendered labor & influencing. Iβm deep in Mormon momtok so it was fun to trace the history a little bit!!
really well put! it's the promise of that "little bit of money" is often too temping πΏ
And 100% re tradwife content, I think while many MMBs/influencers themselves are not aligned w/ extremist ideology (and may even identify as feminists!) the aesthetic or lifestyle brand promoted in these spaces has informed more troubling contemporary mommy influencer cultures
I'm ultimately a bit pessimistic re influencing (blogging or otherwise) as being able to push forward substantive activist coalitions b/c of that tension w/ platforms encouraging fundamentally a consumer-based audience.
Not at all!! I feel like people rarely read these articles so this is such a treat π! I definitely agree w/ many of these points you are raising!
100%!! That was my point of entry for the project, trying to explore how we might have gotten to the pre-tradwife & crunchy mom boom of today!!
Thank you so much!! I really appreciate it βοΈπ§‘βοΈ!!
attention all fans of mormon momtok...curious about the history of mormon mommy influencing?? well! I have curated a deeply researched scholarly article that documents the early internet history of this phenomenon starting with the days of blogging: www.tandfonline.com/eprint/BDMPE...
Boning is under attack! Read @emilylynell.bsky.social on how a sect of ostensibly well-meaning progressives are, in actuality, furthering the far-right's puritanical goals.

Thank you for reading!! β¨π
Omg thank you both so much! Iβm so glad the piece resonated!! π itβs connected in spirit to some other work Iβve been doing on booktok
