Hi Hannah! I really appreciated reading your reflections on authenticity in "chronic illness online material". It's something I've been thinking a lot about recently too.
Thanks Natasha! Me too, it’s been brewing a while and I’m not sure these are complete thoughts either, it’s definitely complicated within the community that houses so many vulnerable people but I think it needs to be unpacked too.
Absolutely - your post today made me think more specifically about the role of social media platforms with this (I definitely think as we became expected to share more and more as things like Stories came in the performance of "authenticity" became even more of a thing), but I also tried to unpack some of my thoughts about this in an issue a little while ago https://natashalipman.substack.com/p/on-chronic-illness-content
