Kitty Pryde Needs To Be Jewish In The MCU

The MCU has been abysmal when it comes to jewish representation. It barely showed any of Moon Knight’s jewishness in his show and the next jewish superhero that’s going to be introduced is a Mossad agent in a film subtitled “New World Order”.

So when I say that Kitty Pryde needs to be jewish if she appears in the MCU’s inevitable reboot of X-Men, I mean that she needs to be explicitly and most importantly, PROUDLY jewish. 

Jewish people are barely represented in media outside of offensive steryotypes or caricatures so having a proud jewish woman (who would hopefully be portrayed by a jewish actress) appears in one of the biggest film franchises on the planet right now, could do wonders for jewish representation if done right.

Jewish people deserve to see ourselves on screen.

Jewish people deserve to have our superheroes too.

I thought these were some important facts to share since a lot of people don’t know any of this

Text begins: Man voting in Georgia is so different than in Illinois. When I lived in chicago, during early voting, I went to the local elementary school, waited in line about ten minutes, and they gave me a sheet of paper. I checked people off then I put it in the machine and left.

Not Georgia. We drove downtown because *every* other polling place had a line >90 minutes. We paid ten bucks to park. We went in the building, then emptied out pockets to go through a metal detector. We then saw a sign about where to park to get our parking validated. Inside.

We then waited in line ~80 minutes. We got to the end and we were given a form to fill out (?). We were told *not* to sign it until told. Then we were moved into a waiting room where we were given a ticket number, like when you are at the dmv.

We were told to get our IDs out and wait. We waited here for 15-20 minutes. When your number is called they took your form, did some stuff on the computer, then told you to sign the form. Then you get a little green card. You insert it into the machine.

Then you go through three or four prompts, including a very serious™️ warning about perjury, a totally necessary warning given how huge a problem stolen identity is for the purposes of voting on behalf of someone else.

You then finally vote, and after an “are you sure” prompt you get a sheet. You then have to walk the sheet over to feed it into a machine. About half of these were working.

The bottleneck was clearly the weird application and waiting room thing. There are two dozen people at a time sitting to have their stuffed checked. Think of it as regular voting except when you got there they had to run a credit check for *each person* like you need financing.

It was easier finishing my PhD paperwork. Thankful for the kind people (nearly all black women) the shepherded the processes. But man if you are poor or disabled or whatever, good luck yo. That should have been easier. We finished tho. Text ends.

Image ID: Two Black people are standing beside a city street and smiling at the camera, a man and a woman. The man has close-cropped hair and a beard. He is wearing a black hoodie that says Southside and has a sticker on his chest with a peach on it. The woman has large tortoiseshell browline glasses and long twist locs. She has a light brown leather crossbody bag, and is wearing a salmon-colored windbreaker. She also has a peach sticker on her chest, which she is pointing to. Her hand has a wedding ring. End ID]

since it’s pride month, throwback to this beautiful cover and this wholesome interaction between two icons

What’s that, 1980s kids? You say you’ve collected all the available Star Wars action figures, playsets, and vehicles? Think again! Kenner has a line of “mini rig” toys you need to nag your parents into buying. What did you say? You don’t recognize them from the movies? That’s because we just made them up! Now shut up and fork over the dough!

When I say you can't trust Republicans, that their lying and bad faith are their goals, this is what I mean.
