Ahhh that's horrible!! Romper has done such beautiful, important work on mothering. And who the f knows? is truly the only honest way to end any kind of parenting advice!
Romper was a really wonderful place on the internet. I won the People’s Choice award for Raising Mothers a few years back and the support from April and Elizabeth was truly rare.
I'm so glad to hear you say that. I also wonder about where we can find representation and broad voices in the parenting discourse, so we don't believe that one small micro-culture's experience is the ONLY experience.
That’s what I’m gonna try to do! Thank you for the support! Please let me know how I can support you as well. (ED: I dream of pulling all of these amazing writers together and starting our own fuckin parenting site!)
ugh, hadn't heard this and just pinged Meaghan about my column idea again today. Interesting timing. Such a bummer. I loved what they were doing. Every time one of these places shutters, I think about trying to recreate it here on Substack.

No!! Why does all the good internet always go away 😭
This is so sad. I enjoy Romper so much. What a loss.
