Sci-fi written by cishet authors can be so jarring. Like you’re telling me you dreamt up a whole universe of aliens, but every species has separate bathrooms for men and women? The sentient ooze is a lady ooze? The spacefaring tentacle monarch is in a heterosexual marriage? Okay Matt.

A vote for graphite is a vote for one of the cheapest, oldest, most basic art mediums we have, and I think that’s beautiful.

Graphite all the way!
My fav occurrence of graphite is when you get big flakes of it in marble. The remnants of former life, transformed back to its elemental form. It's a beautiful example of how geology is the ultimate recycler.

The doors of the Academy of Natural Sciences will be closing on Sunday...for now.

But this isn't over.

We're meeting at the Academy of Natural Sciences when doors close to gather for a moment of resolve followed by a march to City Hall.

Join us.

Anyone remember that #Graphite was apparently used in the Manhattan Project? I got a copy of “Their Day in the Sun: The Women of the Manhattan Project” and just read that tidbit. Can’t wait to read more! #MinCup26

The rare copper-arsenic-hydroxide Theoparacelsite is named after him. It was first found in the Roua Mine, an old copper mine in south-eastern France.

September 24, 1541, Philippus Aureolus Theophrastus Bombastus von Hohenheim- better known as the German physician/alchemist Paracelsus - died on this day.
He studied mining & metallurgy (at the time considered part of alchemy) and published a book on diseases affecting miners

FUN FACT! A ton (if not most!) Indigenous languages don't have a word for "wilderness" because that's such a colonial concept

There's only words for "home" and "the land (a living being)". Land is always doing what it's meant to, unless something like us is preventing it

Self, self, we need to discuss the book acquisition thing. NO MORE BOOKS (for now). My tbr for non-fiction is already 10 ft tall (at a guess)…just because you’re finding all kind of interesting stuff doesn’t mean you need to buy the book. LIBRARIES EXIST FOR A REASON *ahem*

And a salt cathedral carved around 2000 in a salt mine in Italy. The Realmonte salt cathedral was dedicated to the patron saint of miners and feature and is apparently a small part of a still operating halite salt mine.

One of these is a fish.

The Amazon leaf fish is so well camouflaged that it can drift among fallen leaves unnoticed, until it's time to strike.

#MinCup26 I didn’t vote for #Quartz this time (again), but I did pick up this lovely ‘pink’ amethyst yesterday. Photos are a bit shit though, sorry. There’s a calcite cluster in the piece as well.

Reasons to vote #stichtite:
-Cool purple and green
-Suitable & beautiful carving material
-Forms around subduction zones & mid-ocean ridges which are both very interesting
-Forms from serpentine which is also very cool
-Avenge underdog asagiite's 2-vote-margin loss to quartz in round 1
#MinCup26
#MinCup26 Round 2 Match 4
Both colourful yet opposite in almost every other way, it’s abundant and hard #Quartz against rare and very soft #Stichtite.

An unexpected crossover for cat lovers and #MinCup2026 fans
100 million years ago a chunk of ocean basin uplifted to form the island of Cyprus. Within this formation were copper deposits made by ancient hydrothermal vents. As they mined these vents, the people domesticated a small feral predator to control rodents.

The first record of domestic cats.
