- Lauren admits at 20 she preached trad wife ideals because likes and clicks validated a reductive narrative she sincerely believed then.
Set Boundaries To Limit Audience Capture
- Set boundaries with social media and be honest about performance to resist audience capture.
- Lauren describes delegating social media, logging off, and aiming between hermit and full addict to protect mental health.
Two Right Wing Medias Feed Each Other
