#Molybdenite Dioptase looks nice, but don't touch!

Molybdenite's grease is useful, and will live on in your heart, your shirt, the door, the cat and everything else!

A puppy with it tongue’s out, laying down on its belly in a patch of grass, with a leash to the neck. To the left and down in the picture, someone’s leg wearing jeans and sneakers.

Meet my puppy, Lila, 6mo, picture taken a couple of weekends ago in a visit to a nice hotel and restaurant at the very base of Fuego volcano in Guatemala.

She's raised $925 so far but needs $2000 to leave, please share, Nour is pregnant and needs to leave asap.

Built in the 13th century. So that mosque stood for 800 years with every sort of person from every place and every religion in the world passing through Gaza century after century, only for it to be blown up by some shithead loser sitting behind a computer that we probably paid for.

A group of volcanologists and disaster risk management technicians out in the open, standing next to a pickup truck and a tripod with an antenna, posing for a picture taken with a drone flying in front of them.

Wrapping up one week of fieldwork at Fuego volcano, flying drones and sampling PDC deposits with @smakris.bsky.social @pdcguy.bsky.social @tyranakisaurus.bsky.social Sylvain Charbonnier, Gustavo Chigna, Fabrizio Ponce, Amilcar Calderas, Edgar Barrios, William Chigna and Mario Ovalle.

Crust of thin platy dark bluish-green clinochlore crystals. From Cantua Creek, Fresno County, California, USA. Specimen on display in the Natural History Museum, London.

Clinochlore:
- A magnesium-rich chlorite group mineral
- Forms in contact and regional metamorphism
- Its name comes from the Greek words "κλινειν/klinein" (to incline) and "χλωρο/chloros" (green) because of its inclined optic axes and its green colour #minerals

The Dept of Education may take down many sites soon including studentaid.gov

Folks should go to the website and download all their loan data (under "my activity" on the "My Aid" page), including docs related to loan consolidation, payment plan apps, FAFSA forms, and PSLF

Over a thousand people chanting “Do Your Job” as Democrats speak at a rally defending USAID.

Environment seems as agitated with Democrats as with Trump/Musk’s efforts to seize agencies.

Yells of “What are you gonna do about it?!” in response to Democrats talking about situation.

It seems that Space Karen's (a.k.a. Twitler) team has infiltrated the volcanological corner of the government. FYI, VDAP is a congress-mandated partnership between USAID and USGS:

New pterosaur just dropped!!!

White Island: Company found guilty over New Zealand volcano disaster The judge criticises Whakaari Management for "astonishing failures" after the deaths of 22 people.

At the time of the eruption, 47 people were on the island, which was a popular tourist destination back then. Unfortunately, 22 people lost their lives, and 25 others sustained serious injuries. (2/3)

Hello @bsky.app ! We are the Ixchel project funded by the Global Challenges Research Fund @ukri.org Expect posts on research activities, including but not limited to volcanology, disaster risk reduction, critical decolonial theory, human rights, and arts-based participative methodologies 🌋

Bluesky just passed 23 million subscribers. At this rate of growth, Musk/Zuckerberg/Trump will certainly attempt to shut it down on whatever pretext they can gin up. It is a single point of countervailing power and potential resistance in the infosphere, and as such is a prime target for lawfare.

Usually seen just as local guides for fieldwork, excluded from the writing process and left out of the authors list, as well as not attending the major conferences.

A man excavating a skeleton out of sediment. Quote says: “I certainly thought that [Lucy] would be terribly important to the field of paleoanthropology. I had no idea that she would be the most famous skeleton found in the 20th century.” —Dr. Donald Johanson

50 years ago this November—a pair of paleoanthropologists found a skeleton that belonged to a 3.2 million year old hominin, which came to be nicknamed Lucy.

In today’s episode, we discuss what Lucy has taught us in the last 50 years.

Agua, a large stratovolcano in the back of the scene, standing tall between some thin clouds. To the front, a somewhat luxurious neighborhood in Antigua Guatemala, with a lot of beautiful gardens and colonial style houses.

Very late #VolcanoMonday but here you have a picture of Agua volcano, that I took in Antigua Guatemala back in February. This city will host the XV Central American Geological Congress later this week and as much as 200 to 300 geoscientists from the region will be there.

I love this for them.

Was at a rock show today and saw a fossil I’ve never seen before, which is a rare event:

A cluster of Triassic belemnites from Timor. Aulacoceras. These are like 5 inches long

Le volcan indonésien Merapi

Evolution of Merapi volcano lava dome volume

“The potential of satellite data for monitoring andesitic stratovolcanoes, as illustrated by Merapi volcano, Indonesia.” ou Comment surveiller la croissance des stratovolcans par imagerie satellitaire ? Ce sera le sujet de la soutenance/defence de PhD de Shan Gremion ce mercredi 27/11 à ISTerre.

MILF = Manuscript I’d Like to Finish

illustration of a mountain gazelle lying curled with two African collared doves perched on its back. they have their heads pressed together and a small olive "branch" in their beaks. they are using their wings almost as if to shield the mountain gazelle while it rests. the background is the Palestinian keffiyeh patterns. text reads PEACE FOR PALESTINE in bold letters, with watermelon slices bookending each line.

a ceasefire is not a solution; it is the bare minimum.

Portrait of middle aged Darwin & title page: THE ORIGIN OF SPECIES BY MEANS OF NATURAL SELECTION, OR THE PRESERVATION OP FAVOURED RACES IN THE STRUGGLE FOR LIFE. BY CHARLES DARWIN, 1859

Happy publication day to Charles #Darwin for On the Origin of Species published #OTD 1859 🥳
(And a day of inspiration for all who struggle to finish their books...) #hpbio #HPS #EvoBio

A cross section of part of a gray and light brown domal stromatolite. My foot (women's size 9.5, in a hiking boot) is next to the stromatolite for scale. The dome is about twice as high as my foot is long.

1.85 billion years ago, a massive meteorite struck near what is now Sudbury, Ontario. The resulting tsunami sent this stromatolite over 600 km across the ocean and deposited it near what is now Thunder Bay. So, that was a bad day for those microbes.
