also thinking about these quotes from Haris Durrari on dune:

"One hypothesis is that the reason the white savior narrative has dominated the mainstream reading of the text is that this is how white boys have read it...This is purely anecdotal, but almost every Muslim I’ve met in person who has read Dune is a huge fan, and it impacted their lives positively just on representation alone. In these conversations with fellow Muslims, even if they thought of it as a white savior story, they were reticent to dismiss it entirely because it is so detailed and specific with its Islamic and MENA references, because it took religion seriously and wasn’t secular, and because, in our experience of the text, we never sat comfortably dismissing it as merely another savior narrative. There was something familiar and layered that we couldn’t quite place, even if we hadn’t grasped all of the themes at a young age."

Fun fact: Phi (~1.618) is really close to the ratio between miles and kilometers (~1.609), which means you can use adjacent fibonacci numbers to quickly mentally convert back and forth between them.

for instance: 21 kilometers is roughly 13 miles (it's actually 13.05)

interviewer: so what is your biggest weakness?

me: I hate ms word & excel wish a violent passion that I can't help but craft elaborate assassination plans for anyone that forces me to use them

interviewer: You do know those were on the required skills list right?

me: *narrows eyes*

people are like "let it snow", but I don't think it actually needs permission?
