So Hannah and I are sitting here bitching about Cumberbutt being Khan and we started talking about racist fuckwits who bitched about Quevenzhane Wallis being Annie. And then Hannah said all mocking like, “Benedict Cumberbatch is a FINE actor and he will do a FINE job in the role.” And then more serious, “Quevenzhane Wallis is a fine actor and will do a fine job in the role too you know.”
And I was like “Yes, Quevenzhane Wallis would make a lovely Khan!!”

““Black Madonna - Mitochondrial Eve,” David Hewson, 2004. Kittredge Cherry describes her:
The Madonna appears without the Christ child. Instead she holds a collection of colorful eggs representing the races of the world. The gesture embodies themes of both Christmas and Easter, because Mary Magdalene is traditionally shown holding a red egg as a symbol of resurrection. Black Madonnas were fairly common in Europe during the Middle Ages. Hewson traces the motif back even further. “Another metaphor of the Black Madonna has its connection with the earth…[P]rior to 2,000 years ago when worship of the feminine was a common practice, black soil was a source of nourishment, of life itself.”
