more actors who would be better as murderbot than Handsome Skarsgard
Jesus Christ I get it mastodon, Murderbot doesn't do gender and I'm a bad audiobook listener please get over yourselves
more actors who would be better as murderbot than Handsome Skarsgard
I think it might just be because of Kevin Free reading the audiobook but I really did not picture Murderbot as white? Hence the following picks:
- Idris Elba (if we insist on making Murderbot jacked which, not sure it's necessary)
- Honestly, jacked Kumail Nanjani could maybe pull it off, again assuming we need Murderbot to be jacked
- Justice Smith (so good at deeply awkward)
- Jeffrey Wright (see also: Westworld)
palestine-ish
it's not even that I think a) arts orgs are some kind of tipping point that will change the trajectory or b) I even believe that this org has a ton to offer but they've been fundraising using POC and specifically Arab Muslim (and an antizionist Israeli who has been putting himself on the line a lot!) alums as evidence of their social justice bona fides and it just feels really gross! and I was mad!
palestine-ish
might have burned a bridge today (called the ED of an arts org I hold near and dear to my heart "a coward" after he hemmed and hawed about the org's non-position on the genocide in Gaza while not actually using the word "Palestine" for about an hour) but apparently after I left the call it got a lot more productive so maybe I just took one for the team
I remind you again that all the worst people have understood that magic is real and have worked to implement that understanding to the ends of grift, greed, and power-grabs; understand what that means and learn how to fight back.
