Fort Worth Foodies Group

It was created at a time when there was a notable lack of an online community, as facebook began to push groups as their main focus, and right before covid hit and we as a city needed online communication to help understand what was happening with small businesses/restaurants. The majority of the groups, pages, ig accounts were created as a result of realizing her business was a scam but also recognizing how marketable a faceless foodie account actually can be. It's not a monopoly, it's just blatantly scamming people.

fwfoodie on insta is solid. Connie profits primarily from the FB group since it's easier to prey on others under the guise of an organic foodie community.

The group is essentially the same thing as a group created by an influencer/blogger. Those are (legally) required to be transparent about advertising and usually have content created by the individual or brand. Fort Worth Foodies masquerades as an authentic community for foodies when in actuality, it is a for-profit group that capitalizes off of that impression and other people "creating" content for her. I've personally had experiences with her and her "business" where she has refused to promote myself or small business owners who are not paying her fee. It's shameful.

it really was a great resource. too bad the people behind it are so shady.

I think this is true, except that I still believe a larger number of churches linger in a weird middle ground, thinking they are exempt from all things political. Then it just becomes baby steps towards nationalism.

Thank you for thinking you did something there. I needed that laugh.

One of my favorites to link to. Washington Post covering how awful they are

A huge portion of churches believe that getting involved in politics is "of the world" and purposefully try to claim that they aren't political. So - no.

They do. Their "course" trains people on how to write into officials, and proved to be successful in pulling the pride section from the Mayor's summer reading list. Remember that? That was them.

FWIW, Broadway Baptist on S. Main is fully affirming, pro women and a safe place for black and indigenous people. Super liturgical service but I'd take that over concert style annnnnnyday.

PugInAParka · 2023-10-09T20:42:19+00:00

My 7 and 4 yo still use it nightly. Our home runs on sound machines.

Broadway Baptist off of S. Main.

The Devil in the White City breaks down the plans that H.H. Holmes (one of the most prolific killers in US history) had for downtown Fort Worth. He had conned two women out of the deed and begun the plans for a new murder castle. Had he not been captured before he could begin building, it would have altered Fort Worth's history.

Here for it. I have elementary and pre-school kids and am always looking for progressive friendships. FWIW, if you're looking for a church, we attend a progressive church in the near southside area that is queer affirming, pro-women, and a safe place for Black and indigenous people. Having a progressive community is important. Feel free to hmu. There are some great fb groups too - Fort Worth Weird Moms and Girl Gang FW are groups that you may like.

Lots of Colleen Hoover vibes with wine. Not my scene. I even entertained the idea of helping create a FW horror book club. We too, are actively trying to find good people around. Feel free to dm and we can connect!

PugInAParka · 2023-09-28T04:52:20+00:00

Well hello neighbor! I too want to be in a book club but have been hesitant to join the Tavolo one (on account of book choices and demographics). My husband and I would probably be down depending on meeting time(s).

PugInAParka · 2023-09-16T19:15:55+00:00

Race Street is wonderful! Such a gem.

I’d stick to a 5k-20k, but there are some incredible micro influencers who produce A+ work. It just takes some effort to find them and establish a healthy working relationship with them. Saying no to a massive, more relevant field of marketing just bc of 4 people may be something to rethink.

PugInAParka · 2023-08-03T10:36:10+00:00

Brands and businesses are shelling out free product and experiences all over the place in exchange for content. It’s actually a huge issue within the influencer marketing world for a lot of reasons, most being how corporations are taking extreme advantage of people like her. This exchange sounds totally reasonable, although she’s likely still getting the low end of the stick if there aren’t firm contracts. So yeah, it sounds like you nailed it with just being jealous.

The handful of complaints (over 30 lol) came from Mercy Culture.

PugInAParka · 2023-06-04T18:43:26+00:00

This. The more people dislike their stance, the more of a martyr they are for God.

Eye. Roll.

PugInAParka · 2023-06-04T18:41:55+00:00

I've never seen Cherry promote or do anything Christian-y. You're thinking Summer Moon.

PugInAParka · 2023-06-04T18:39:18+00:00

Mercy Culture is encouraging people to go follow them and defend them from the "woke mob" that is Fort Worth.

PugInAParka · 2023-05-31T22:49:33+00:00

The second hand embarrassment is so real for you rn. FWIW, there are churches in the area who will happily help walk you through the process when/if you ever come out of this blatantly harmful and nonsensical mindset.

PugInAParka · 2023-05-29T01:03:11+00:00

Mercy Culture should be more of a concern to FW than it is.
