2/13/20 discussion about Judy Blume beyond Margaret

Here is the link to my February 13, 2020, Twitter thread discussion, around the time that it was announced that a movie adaptation of Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret. was in the works, about why other works by Blume, such as Wifey and Summer Sisters, which depict not only youth sex, but even lesbian youth sex, should be considered today by anybody who praises Judy Blume but also derides even the mention of the actual physical act of youth sex.

What I didn't know at the time was that talks were actually in place to produce adaptations of Blume's novels Wifey and Summer Sisters -- both of which actually depict sex between young girls. So my point here ended up being kind of moot.

Thank you for reading. Please enjoy.

1/9/19 review of the novel Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret., by Judy Blume

Here is the link to my January 9, 2019, Twitter thread review of the novel Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret., by Judy Blume.

Twitter's platform has twisted each of my threads through 2018 and 2019 out of chronological order. This thread is affected, but is still moderately coherent. My apologies.

Thank you for reading. Please enjoy.
