I followed Heather long before she had kids (before she was stuck with the odious label “mommy blogger”) back in the infancy of blogs. I remember the birth of her oldest child vividly. The last few years her writing turned problematic, and it’s clear she’s been so troubled. I feel like I’ve lost a long-lost, very complicated friend. My heart breaks for her kids. #Dooce #HeatherArmstrong https://www.nytimes.com/2023/05/10/us/heather-armstrong-dead.html
Heather Armstrong, ‘Queen of the Mommy Bloggers,’ Is Dead at 47

Fired from a dot-com job for making indiscreet comments about her company online, she created, under the name Dooce, a hugely popular, moneymaking blog about parenthood and marriage.
