Consent: A Memoir

Vanessa Springora
Dr. Sarah T. Roberts ubiquity75@mastodon.socialDr. Sarah T. Roberts ubiquity75@mastodon.social

Objecting to this individual’s article and his disturbing history of sexualizing minors, frequently w/o consent, reminds me of the story of Vanessa Springora, groomed and abused at age 14 by a French literary darling, Gabriel Matzeff. He, too, his his pedophilia in plain sight.

I had a terrible nightmare last night about a serial killer called The Button Man, who would leave homespun dolls, à la Raggedy Ann, at crime scenes. Each had eyes sewn on of buttons of different sizes. This dream brought to you by Reddit true crime and an NYT crossword clue.

I posted about monkeypox vaccine availability in LA, but the county health clinic has already run out and is only giving it to those who have been “in close contact” w/someone who has it. How is that being determined? You get an email. So I hope you and that guy exchanged them.

@AndrewPlewe @rina_gill If you can find them at all, I’d recommend putting the entire œuvre of John Bellairs into these kids’ hands. They’re advanced readers already so these books will be easy reads. But they’re just terrific _stories_. The House with a Clock in Its Walls is a good start.

@blgtylr I’m totally into this book Matrix, written from the perspective of Marie de France, right now. So much so that I went and dug our my copy of Les lais de Marie de France. So, bonjour, fellow nerd.
