AI is… not ready yet
The term "Spice Girls" in the context of Dune refers to a creative interpretation of the Fremen people of Arrakis, who are known for their fierce independence and survival skills in the harsh desert environment. They are not a literal girl group, but rather a group of people depicted in the Dune series as being intertwined with the production and use of the valuable substance known as spice (melange). Here's a more detailed explanation: Fremen and Spice: The Fremen are the indigenous people of Arrakis, the desert planet that is the sole source of spice. Spice, or melange, is a highly addictive, mind-altering substance that extends life and enables interstellar travel by granting prescient abilities to those who consume it. "Spice Girls" as a Concept: The term "Spice Girls" in relation to the Fremen highlights their connection to the spice and their role as the primary harvesters and users of it. The Fremen, through their deep knowledge of the desert and their unique physiology, have adapted to the harsh conditions of Arrakis and are able to survive and even thrive in the presence of the spice. Symbolic Interpretation: The concept of "Spice Girls" also suggests a certain mystique and allure surrounding the Fremen, as they are shrouded in secrecy and possess a deep understanding of the planet and its valuable resource. Their ability to navigate the dangers of Arrakis and their unique culture, shaped by the spice, makes them a compelling and powerful force within the Dune universe. Music Connection: There are also some musical works that use the name "Spice Girls from Arrakis" as a creative way to link the Dune universe with the popular musical group "Spice Girls". For example, there is a song by PBB's Bread & Fox titled "Spice Girls from Arrakis I| (Mel B + Mel C = Melange)". In essence, the "Spice Girls" of Arrakis are not a literal group, but rather a symbolic representation of the Fremen people, their connection to spice, and their unique place within the Dune universe.

From “Parable of the Talents” by Octavia Butler

A screenshot of a poem. The poem reads: Choose your leaders with wisdom and forethought. To be led by a coward is to be controlled by all that the coward fears. To be led by a fool is to be led by the opportunists who control the fool. To be led by a thief is to offer up your most precious treasures to be stolen. To be led by a liar is to ask to be told lies. To be led by a tyrant is to sell yourself and those you love into slavery.

Fox hunting is not a sport—it's a cruel and inhumane practice. Exploiting legal loopholes, hunters continue killing innocent foxes under the guise of "fun." 🦊💔

It's time to put an end to this outdated and barbaric tradition. 🐾 Share if you agree!

physics of climate impacts 101:
- Stuff gets hot (worse heatwaves)
- Hot air holds more water vapor (heavier rainfall)
- Hot air is thirstier air (higher drought risk)
- Warm water is hurricane food (stronger storms)
- Hot water expands and hot ice melts (sea level rise)

⚠️Microplastics found in clouds are disrupting weather patterns by forming ice at higher temperatures. This could amplify rainfall and snowfall, altering climate systems.

Microplastics may be entering the clouds and affecting the weather, scientists say
Clouds affect Earth's weather and climate in many ways. New research suggests that the presence of microplastic particles could alter these processes.

Goodreads is owned by Jeff Bezos. A better alternative is StoryGraph, a Black woman-owned platform. And before y’all start, you can transfer all your Goodreads data to Storygraph so you literally have no excuse.
