Eternally here for YA Rosemary's Baby. Not in the super-natural sense, but in the social horror sense. #MSWL

I have a lot of feelings about using need as a metric by which to judge works of art, particularly those that represent marginalized voices. So if you're concerned that teens may no longer "need" your marginalized rep. YA, no worries. That's still on my #MSWL
