Marky Millor
Marky Millor is the host of the popular podcast The Ryte Side. He was present on Jan 6, but of course didn’t actually go in anywhere or anything, you know? He was just there, like, outside. In spirit. He may or may not have served in the IDF. Details are for cucks. (Marky Millor is also a fictional character invented by author and poet Moriel Rothman-Zecher, as part of the series, What We Talk About When We Talk About the Golem.)

The Marky Millor fictional character and associated content are companion literary responses to Julie Weitz’s Golem V. Golem, produced by Asylum Arts for Dwelling in a Time of Plagues, made possible with the generous support of CANVAS. In 2017, in response to the Charlottesville protests, Artist Julie Weitz created her performative project My Golem, which centers on her embodiment of the mythical creature drawn from Jewish folklore. A futuristic highly-stylized figure covered with white mud, she was brought to life to respond to contemporary challenges including climate catastrophe, white supremacy, antisemitism and xenophobia.
The project is presented at the Vilna Shul, Boston’s Center for Jewish Culture in partnership with the Jewish Arts Collaborative. Additional digital partners include the Contemporary Jewish Museum in San Francisco, Jewish Museum Milwaukee and the Jewish Museum of Florida-FIU. The work is part of a North American project – Dwelling in a Time of Plagues – a coast-to-coast Jewish artistic response to contemporary plagues.
