Iâm screaming in excitement! Iâve been a fan of Ms Marvel from day one and those comics have always held a special place in my heart. And now, hearing Kamala Khanâs actress has been cast?
Ah yes!Â
This girl, Iman Vellani, is going to play my fave marvel superhero. I admit, I have my doubts about the tv show, but Iâm willing to see what theyâll do! After all, the marvel movies are iconic.

I WOULD PAY TEN TIMES AS MUCH FOR CHOCOLATE IF IT MEANT REDUCING THE AMOUNT OF SLAVES IN THE WORLD? HOW IS THIS ANY KIND OF PROBLEM.Â
good news, you can! the companyâs called Tonyâs Chocolonely and their entire purpose is to make slave-free chocolate and reform the chocolate industry.

Whole Foods carries it. If you donât want to support an Amazon-owned company, World Market carries it. You can also buy it directly from the company.Â
Itâs the best chocolate Iâve ever had and itâs 100% slave free. Tonyâs Chocolonely works really hard to push for transparency within the chocolate industry and actually has and is following an action plan to eliminate slavery within cocoa production. Theyâre good people who make good chocolate.

I love Tonyâs Chocolonely! Their chocolate is amazing and it also started in my home country:)
My ears hear what others cannot hear; small faraway things people cannot normally see are visible to me. These senses are the fruits of a lifetime of longing, longing to be rescued, to be completed. Just as the skirt needs the wind to billow, Iâm not formed by things that are of myself alone. I wear my fatherâs belt tied around my motherâs blouse, and shoes which are from my uncle. This is me. Just as a flower does not choose its color, we are not responsible for what we have come to be. Only once you realize this do you become free, and to become adult is to become free. Stoker (2013) dir. Park Chan-wook

Hello World, or, more realistically, hello friends from ENGL 311!! I wonât add too much, because Iâm sure that would go against this written-format-defying-exercise, but in case my favorite piece of advice confuses you, this is why I said what I said. Do with it what you will, but know that I listen to it every once in a while to maintain sight of the bigger picture.

Unspooled Episode #1: Citizen Kane (1941) dir. Orson Welles
On episode one of Unspooled, Paul and Amy jump straight into the AFIâs number one film of all time, Citizen Kane. They explain why it was almost never released, take a closer listen to Orson Wellesâ innovative use of sound, and try to answer the big question: is this really the best movie ever? Plus: an interview with a guest expert, cinematographer Steve Gainer, on why Citizen Kane looks so incredible. (Listen)

Repeat After Me: You Are A Cyborg...
The age of Cyborgs is here! In fact, itâs been here for a while now. Or at least, it is if you believe people like Donna Haraway and Amber Case. âWhat in the world is that supposed to meanâ You ask? Well, there is an article written about Donna Haraway back in 1997 (by Hari Kunzru) and even at that time, Haraway had been describing herself as a cyborg for a while. This may seem odd, because smartphones werenât even a thing back then, but for Haraway (and many others) being a cyborg is not the same as the futuristic sci-fi-esque half-human-half-machine that most of us are imagining right now.
To Haraway, being a cyborg is about networks, and about âan alliance between (wo)man, machinery, and new technology.â We may not necessarily have superpower-granting-implants (though those do in fact also exist) but over the years humans and technology have created an almost inseparable bond. There are an incredibly large amount of things in our day to day life that wouldnât be possible anymore without technology (See Amber Caseâ TED talk). To Haraway, Case, and many others, this means that we have basically become cyborgs?
Does that thought freak you out? Think about the role that technology plays in your daily life? What are you using to read this right now? Is it perhaps that smartphone that, as some (like one of my favorites:Â Banksy) have suggested, has become glued to our hand?
Sorry, I didnât mean to get so existential. But I do think they are ideas worthy of giving some thought. After all, these are questions of identity and what it means for us to define ourselves as humans (or cyborgs).
To me, one of the most interesting parts of the article about Donna Haraway, is the significance it brings forth between cyborgs, technology, and oppressed minorities. Didnât see that one coming, right? Or maybe you did. Because, when I read that âThe cyborg idea may in the end be Donna Harawayâs way of showing us how to let folks be folks, rather than carving them up into cruel, arbitrary divisions.â I suddenly made connections between this cyborg idea any many other artists that have used the metaphors and visuals of cyborgs and androids to deal with different parts of their identity. Right away, Janelle MonĂĄe and her âDirty Computersâ come to mind. Her most recent album exists in a reality where all humans have turned into computers, and if you donât fit the mold (in other words belong to any minority) you are Dirty. (oh man I could write an entire blog about Janelle tbh). But sheâs not the only one. Other artists, like Years and Years, have also felt a connection to cyborgs as a way to deal with sexuality.
I leave you to think about why it is that artist and other creative minded people like us feel this connection to âobscureâ and futuristic ideas of technology.
