Our goal is to be the one stop shop for leftism here at lemmy.world! We welcome anyone with beliefs ranging from SocDemocracy to Anarchism to post, discuss, and interact with our community. We are a democratic community, and as such, welcome metaposts that seek to amend the rules through consensus. Post articles, videos, questions, analysis and more. As long as it's leftist, it's welcome here!

I'm very confused and I'm sure it's because I'm very ignorant of modern pop culture, but who is Matilda?

The protagonist of a book that got adapted into a movie almost 30 years ago

Thank you. I read the book when I was a kid, but I was 18 or 19 when that movie came out, so I'm not surprised I didn't realize she was the actress in it.

The fact that no one would ask this about Radcliffe/Harry Potter is exactly why this tweet of hers is hilarious
