CW: Heather "dooce" Armstrong; Suicide; Transphobia
"But the last few years were clearly much harder on her. She’d publicly struggled with alcohol addiction and depression for years, eventually leading to an experimental, risky treatment for chronic depression, a series of chemically-induced comas to repeatedly approximate brain death, which she wrote about in her last book.
I last saw Heather on that book tour in May 2019. We talked a bit after the event, and I left feeling unsettled. She kept talking about how much better she felt, but she didn’t seem well.
Then, last August, she posted a bizarre rambling screed that talked about her addiction and a suicide attempt, ending in an upsetting transphobic rant, seemingly in response to her child coming out as non-binary to her. It was pretty awful, alienating many of her friends and fans, myself included. She eventually deleted it all."Goodbye, Dooce: https://waxy.org/2023/05/goodbye-dooce/ #Dooce #blogging #blogosphere #bloghistory

"Already the early days of blogging are being forgotten, and the ability of the web to quietly erase history as sites fail and go offline means that those incredible, exciting, experimental days are being lost. But we shouldn’t forget those who forged the future of digital media, and Heather Armstrong was one of them. Let’s remember that — and her."

This article (DOOCE: A Case Study on the Failure of Psychiatry) is pernicious horseshit. (I will link the archive so I don't add a single click.)
If you don't know someone, haven't read their books, and never read their blog, maybe don't use a half-remembered review your partner wrote four years ago to make sweeping generalizations about what psychiatry did or didn't do for them.
I was *years* out of touch with Heather, so I can't speak for her here. But as someone who has also struggled with mental illness, this is gross, gross, axe-grindy, divorced-from-reality stuff.

Heather Armstrong, Writer of Dooce.com, Dies of Suicide at 47
https://www.nytimes.com/2023/05/10/us/heather-armstrong-dead.html
How freaking sad. I've been reading her blog back in the day when their daughter Leta was born. I was even inspired by their PS effect they used for their pictures of Chuck, the dog.
For me, this excerpt from her about page is what describes her 200%: "I am a Stay at Home Mom (SAHM) or a Shit Ass Ho Motherfucker. I do both equally well."
It's here: https://web.archive.org/web/20070209184342/http://www.dooce.com/about.html

A true pioneer. One of the people who paved the way for a whole generation to make a career online — and far too few people know her name.
RIP Dooce.

I read her site way back and I recall the sacking. Didn't know her name but I knew #Dooce for her writing.
Really sad that two demons I am far too familiar with took her away. So very very easy to say that suicide is selfish but those who say that have ‘never been there, felt that’. -
Feeling sad that #dooce died. A lot of Moms are not ok and the holiday is around the corner to remind us.

So frustrated at the NYT article about Dooce. No mention of the brutal trolling she dealt with for years. Yes she lived with depression but it’s sorely incomplete to discuss her online life and focus on the money while completely omitting the years of constant abuse, the doxing. I hadn’t read her blog since 2017 or so and I hear she said some problematic things the last few years. I don’t know anything about that but I know how much she loved her kids. I’m so sorry for them.

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
