  • BERLINERS: A Chilling Tale of How History Rhymes.

    Born in Germany and raised in New York City, Vesper Stamper writes and illustrates novels which tell, through both words and pictures, stories of history’s rhymes.

    Her debut illustrated YA novel, "What the Night Sings", about the aftermath of the Holocaust through the eyes of a young musician, was a National Book Award Nominee, a National Jewish Book Award Finalist, a Morris Award Finalist, Golden Kite Honor Book and Sydney Taylor Book Award Winner, and was named one of the Best YA Books of 2018/9 by YALSA, the Wall Street Journal and Kirkus.


    Vesper is the host of the podcast 'Vesperisms: The Art of Thinking for Yourself', which aims to cultivate a rehumanized worldview through artistic thinking.


    "Berliners" is her third illustrated novel.

  • A Look Back at #GamerGate.

    ​ @Mister Metokur  , aka "Jim", is a content creator with a gift for exploring (and savagely mocking) niche internet subcultures.

    In the summer of 2014, under the pseudonym "The Internet Aristocrat", Metokur posted a video called "Quinnspiracy Theory" that went viral and kicked off a strange and convoluted controversy that came to be known as #GamerGate.

    Living at the nexus of popular entertainment, internet culture, journalistic ethics, and "Progressive" Identity Politics, the kerfuffle ended up becoming a national story, still referenced by journalists to this day (nearly a decade later), and served as a preview of the Culture Wars that seem so pervasive now.
