Altered Carbon

Altered Carbon on Netflix was honestly one of the best sci fi shows I’ve ever seen. Here’s why:

1. It challenged the idea of what the human consciousness is and how it applies to the physical body.

2. It discussed ways in which the powerful will obtain and retain their authority over the powerless, and how the cycle of servitude will continue unless challenged

3. It didn’t turn women into background characters in their own lives or make them one dimensional. They were feminine and strong and sexual and intelligent and whole people rather than pretty faces who could shoot a gun while clinging to a male protagonist.

4. It explored the ways in which religion and spirituality endure (or not) when faced with a changing society and moral standards.

5. It showed a multicultural, multiethnic future in which PoC very much exist and thrive, in contrast with many white washed sci fi worlds.

6. Love! Death! Murder mysteries! Moral ambiguities and asking big questions! Victims becoming survivors! Edgar Allen Poe!

Seriously just watch this show.

Banana Smoothie (vegan)

I accidentally made this and I thought it would be disgusting but it’s delicious 

2 bananas 

7?? ice cubes

1/2 cup almond milk

1/4 cup soy milk

1 tbsp granulated stevia (or sugar, I just prefer stevia. Add more/less to suit you) 

1 tsp vanilla extract (optional. I’ve never made it with vanilla extract so don’t blame me if its trash.)

To make:

Throw it all into a blender while singing Fireflies by Owl City at the top of your lungs. 

Blend until it looks like a smoothie then pour it into a cute glass or just drink it straight from the blender. Just make sure the blender is off. 

After you drink it to do something you like or just sit on the floor and stare at the wall. 

Enjoy <3

And make no mistake about this: being taken seriously, being considered dangerous marks the difference - the only difference in their eyes - between players and little people. Players they will make deals with. Little people they liquidate. And time and again they cream your liquidation, your displacement, your torture and brutal execution with the ultimate insult that it’s just business, it’s politics, it’s the way of the world, it’s a tough life and that it’s nothing personal. Well, fuck them. Make it personal.

I paused and giggled to myself with satisfaction
