It’s hardly a fresh take, but the #Tigers home unis are just so clean and sharp. Classic look. Classic style.

In fact, my wife, not a sports fan at all, started the 8th inning of G2 actually raising her voice: “Come on Mariners, PROVE SOMETHING!” I had to look over & make sure it was her. So, M’s, over to you now.

I’m here bc I love geology. It tells the story of the planet in particular, and sometimes those of planets in general.
Sorry. More than one line.
You’re very welcome!

02.10.2025 16:17 — 👍 7 🔁 1 💬 1 📌 0It’s a blue, blue, blue, blue, blue world! #Kyanite finally crowned champion after nine years in the Mineral Cup, including a second-place finish in #MinCup24!
I’ll call it now, #Tugtupite is going to be tough to beat in #MinCup26!
What a fun #MinCup25! Thanks again to everyone who made it so!
The new Ore Cup will have entries of which Mineral Cup voters have mourned losses in the past, including copper! #MinCup25 #OreCup25

Is it something new? Something mostly metallic, quite heavy, and essential to society? It’s an all-new collaboration with IMA!
Ore Cup: www.mineralcup.org/about-ore-cup
Voting starts Monday November 3. Winner crowned IMA Ore Mineral of the Year
And that’s time!
But, uh, who’s the winner?
With a surge of hundreds of votes in the final moments, our host is throttling access to the data we need to perform audits. It’s going to be at least a few hours. 🙃
Heroes all. #MinCup25

Huge thanks to @mikamckinnon.bsky.social and everyone else who make Mineral Cup a reality. Y'all rock (and not just in a pun way)! #MinCup25
02.10.2025 00:00 — 👍 7 🔁 1 💬 0 📌 0As the final of #MinCup25 draws to a close - can you all join me in a round of applause and thanks to @mikamckinnon.bsky.social and team behind the comp - a most welcome and edifying distraction. Long may #MinCup continue 👏 👏👏👏👏

It's time to tryyy defyyying graaavity! 🔪🧹🌌
Look deep into the color of these eyes. What do you see?
#Kyanite blue!
You know what to do.
#MinCup25
The Astronomy Picture of the Day getting in on the #MinCup25 Finals act. The Witch's Broom Nebula looks very much like... #Kyanite! (No other subjective interpretations will be entertained.) From deep space to your voting fingertips, #Kyanite is the mineral of destiny, and a deserving 2025 champion!

01.10.2025 23:12 — 👍 6 🔁 3 💬 1 📌 0I just this to my good friends in Seattle: “Since it's sort of blue-green at times, a vote for #Kyanite is kind of a vote for the Seattle Mariners. So really, do what you have to do.”
(I mean, I just did.)

01.10.2025 20:47 — 👍 42 🔁 8 💬 1 📌 0Holy shamoley! Over 2,000 votes cast so far and with three hours to go, the margin is only 10 votes. You can cut the tension with a #Kyanite blade! Let’s go Big Blue! Bring it home for the longtime Mineral Cup veteran. The #MinCup25 championship is there for #TeamBlue with a strong finish!
01.10.2025 21:02 — 👍 11 🔁 3 💬 0 📌 1The Blues is more than just music. It tells of life under pressure (like #Kyanite). It’s resistant bc it’s rough (like #Kyanite), a teller of historical truths (like #Kyanite) & texturally colorful (like #Kyanite)! How would B.B. King, the King of the Blues himself, vote? Obv for Kyanite! #MinCup25
01.10.2025 18:54 — 👍 10 🔁 7 💬 2 📌 0One warning: When you enlist others to vote, you never know what will happen. I just tried to recruit my son to vote #Kyanite with me. It’s blue. His fave color is blue. I describe anisotropic to him. I think, “OK then.”
He reads over the descriptions, and says he’s now for #Tugtupite. 😐 #MinCup25
My first post on Bluesky only got one like 😢 but I’m still always looking for rocks, and people that love them. Thank goodness there are always plenty here. Especially every September!
Thank you @MineralCup.bsky.social for all the minerals and fun!
