This is such a great podcast, I highly recommend it! Well-researched, multi-faceted, sensitive, personal, and entertaining. I love how Loftus uses the podcast medium, and this one is def my favorite of hers.

it goes without saying that JK Rowling’s take on Lolita is both extremely harmful (consider the source) and extremely common.

a few years ago back, i made a podcast about why. it’s called ‘Lolita podcast’ and takes a look at how culture took a complex book that’s a litmus test for whether its deeply sick protagonist can convince you he’s telling a love story and not the destruction of Dolores Haze’s life, and took him at his word.

it’s about everything from a deeper look at Nabokov’s life and implied experiences with CSA, to interviews with the women who played lolita onscreen and onstage as children, to young women today who have read the book and see it for the horror that it is and want to reclaim dolores, not lolita. it was really tough to make but hope it can help contextulaize why this read of a book that is far more complex than rowling can take on exists.

dolores forever 💖

@HamletHologram I mean, are they still relatively wrapped? If so, I say it’s fine.

Just had way too much fun running a practice D&D combat scenario for just myself. 🤓🗡🎲

Truly one of my greatest pleasures is walking around the house and happening upon my cats happily dozing in various locations throughout the day.
