Michael K. Williams talks about an emotional moment on the set of ‘12 Years a Slave’, moving Arsenio Hall to tears.
The emotional and spiritual toll that this film must have taken on every single Black cast member…..
Lord….
There’s an excellent Australian film called Rabbit Proof Fence, about the Stolen Generation - Aboriginal children who were forcibly removed from their families by the white authorities to be raised in government-run schools, and trained essentially to be servants. The film is based on a true story about two sisters and a cousin who, as children, escaped the government school and travelled back, alone and on foot, to their family lands - and it’s an inditement on Australian racism that the Stolen Generation is a recent enough historical event that the actual women whose stories are being portrayed appear at the end of the movie to effectively give the epilogue, about how Molly, the main character, was later taken away again, along with her own children, and escaped again with them. It’s an amazing, harrowing film, is what I’m saying.
But just as happened to Michael K. Williams here, the filming took an incredible emotional toll on the Aboriginal actors. In a documentary about the filming, after they shoot the scene where the children are taken from their mothers, all the Aboriginal women and girls are holding each other, sobbing and shaking and crying, and I just -

I just….Janelle Monae “Sally Ride”
For those of you who don’t know, Sally Ride was the first American woman to ever go into space. She joined NASA in 1978 and remained until 1987 when she left to go work at Stanford. Later she eventually started Sally Ride Science. Sally was also known as the youngest American astronaut to ever go in space. Also? Sally was an out queer woman who co-authored six children’s books with her partner.
I am convinced when Janelle sings the words “Wake up, Mary. Have you heard the news? You got to wake up Mary. You got the right to choose.” She is eluding to the right to love who you want to. Janelle’s album is full queer innuendo. Janelle is a very conscientious artist, and she chose the title of this song to send a direct message about freedom to love who and how one chooses, in spite of societal pressures to conform to the standard.
