I donβt understand people who are having children right now.
The planet is cooked, thereβs a virus disabling and killing everyone, weβre fast-tracking fascism, and I donβt think anyone is going to stop any of it.
Why would you put an another human into this world?
@dtkordish
I can kinda understand that mentality on a personal level, but then making the choice to subject an entirely new human being to hell? For what? I just donβt get it.

A thing worth noting for those who havenβt experienced the bail process: you canβt pay via card. Even if you have the money, you then have to go through a bail bond company that will charge additionally.
(Iβm not sure if you can even access your wallet if you have literal cash.)

βIf this mine was real, he would not require financial support from my brother and me.β
Add mining to the list of things this dude knows nothing about.
My favorite part of Twitter is when something is going around and someone sees it and is like, βOh, no, actually this issue is more complex than youβve made it out to be,β and then tells us exactly why, and anyway this is one of my favorite accounts on here.
Not that this is even remotely the biggest concern, but whatβs extra neat about how Nevada gets hit by this is that Burning Man is supposed to open a week later.
My vote is for
#adamite
because of the adamite bat.
The bat is largely mummified but adamite has started to replace around its face - fluorescent light highlights the adamite.
Found by John Seibel, late 1980s at the Gold Hill Mine, Utah, collection of Mark Mitterman.

Round 1 Match 10 is a pair of A+ minerals associated with alterations: guano-born sky-blue
#Ammineite

Thereβs a documentary called Coded Bias that pretty well tears apart the idea that any of this can eliminate bias. The data sets being fed in are biased, it will only replicate that.
The world is ending so Iβm joining a falcon cult because fuck it, why not.
Iβm just also joining kinda half-assed because I do not want any more notifications on my phone. I hate notifications.

At least in my experience, multiple jobs is even less flexibility than one. Trying to juggle scheduling hours from more than one job is crazy-making.
Idk who needs to hear this, but there are way more faults than there are plate boundaries.
They also occur on a smaller scale than even depicted here.
The ground is not solid.
@kennedytcooper
The phrase βso it turns outβ is so much more dangerous than anyone ever yells about. You can just say whatever you want after that.
Look, I realize I have some kind of nihilist thing going on, but all of the suffering and misery is a little less when something just fucking ridiculous happens.
I am overjoyed at this tomato.
A huge fucking tomato got loose in the downtown area this morning, causing confusion and creating traffic problems for commuters.
The enormous fruit had fallen off a truck and careened through city streets, doing minor damage until local authorities were able to contain it.
This May Day weβre seeing efforts for immigrant workers, workers in Palestine, healthcare workers, etc. But letβs look to a future May Day. UAW President Shawn Fain made the call for a General Strike May Day 2028.

Speaking for all the men I know and love who havenβt shot anyone, I think youβre doing people as a whole a disservice with this take. Individuals make poor choices, that is not reflective of entire groups of people. That applies across all lines.
I AM HOWLING.
So, from the depths of my very niche place in the world, story time:
In 1991, the mineral tinnunculite was submitted to the IMA for approval as a new mineral species. Tinnunculite, named for the common kestrel (Falco tinnunculus), occurs when the bird ...

Because of ADHD, I never remember whatβs in here, so itβs Christmas every time. About to get super distracted.
This is a Manbach twin on one end, and just normal on the other - some kind of multi-crystal intergrowth.
@MineralCup
Oh, this one is going to make me angry, isnβt it? Thereβs no competition here.
#Cerussite
is the superior mineral, hands down, no questions.
Cerussite β’ Nakhlak Mine, Anarak District, Nain County, Isfahan Province, Iran β’ 5.4cm.

At least somewhat recently, Netflix had a documentary on FTA that was largely (if not all) footage from the tour. I enjoyed the glimpse into what they did.
I gotta be on the road all day tomorrow (today?) so Iβm doing my argument for Team
#Fluorite
now.
Not sorry.
Weβll open with a winner: Surprise Mine, Cookes Peak District, Luna County, New Mexico, ~4cm, Phil Simmons and my photo credit.

From the standpoint of resources, it's unbelievably interesting to me to imagine the volume of usable materials we have produced for it to just... sit somewhere and rust.
The TV is talking about a food pantry program to address food insecurity - for the armed force?
Look, Iβm no fan of the military, but are you telling me the defense budget doesnβt include fucking food?
If I had a boyfriend, Iβd text him βLook at my pussy!β with photos like this.
I donβt, so I guess you guys get to look at my pussy instead. (He cute, and itβs too hot for pants.)
@sallyhunt666
I think you're smarter than this, and I think you're digging your heels in on something that if you stepped back and thought about with a little open space, you might tread a little differently. That's the last I'm going to say on it.
Spent a little time reading about grooming adults and I do not feel at all bad about this break-up anymore. That is exactly what he was doing and Iβm very glad it didnβt go any further.
ROCK POSTING TIME.
#Goethite
is my favorite in the
#MinCup23
competition because of the pseudomorphs β the most well-known example is goethite replacements of pyrite.

Columbia began distributing notices at the βGaza Solidarity Encampmentβ Monday morning, informing individuals present that they have until 2 p.m. to clear out, identify themselves to a University official, and commit to abiding by University policies.
