Morning Brew – Samira Wiley books new lesbian role in “The Handmaid’s Tale”

Good morning.

ICYMI, out Oregon House Speaker Tina Kotek spoke at the DNC yesterday.

Sia‘s number one! Sia’s number one!

Graffiti artist Jessica Sabogal is KQED’s Woman to Watch. A quote on what she does when she doesn’t feel inspired:

“I don’t think I have the luxury of being uninspired. The struggles from living as a lesbian and a woman of color are omnipresent. They never leave. They make a bed in your home. Feeling uninspired is a privilege I do not have. It means the war against my body and what I represent is over. It means there is no anger or fear or hope with which to draw from. So, so long as I am alive and living in a world that is trying to eradicate me, there is work to be done.”

A bisexual woman writes about wanting to see herself and her family in Sci-fi/Fantasy and why it’s not too much to ask.

Admit it: You still want to french Kate McKinnon looking like this.

It’s from Office Christmas Party, and there’s a trailer, too.

In some really amazing news, Samira Wiley has been cast in the lesbian role of Elisabeth Moss‘s best friend, Moira, in Hulu’s adaptation of The Handmaid’s Tale. Ilene Chaiken is an EP on this project, which will have 10 episodes. You still have plenty of time to read Margaret Atwood‘s novel that it’s based on.

An interesting read: What’s Missing From the Conversation About Transgender Kids.

What a weird way to advocate for oil.

Hannah Hart has a new show coming to the Food Network. Her six-episode food and travel series will have her heading to a city with a “limited budget determined by the average price to dine out in each city.”

TFW you announce your first TV show and everyone is as excited as you are.
