This is from December, but still important. They found proof of torture at the everglades concentration camp.

My crystals feed (the new one) got all mixed up because my laptop broke, so hopefully I'll be able to get that started back up again soon because it was a cool project. All the other feeds are working as far as I know. 🪷💛

Thank you

Is mylar the one that blacks out the windows? And sometimes I just can't be online with the way my brain works but it will be nice to share some things again.

A bracelet made with hemp, the color of hemp is like a goldenrod orange. The beads used are petrified wood and have grey, brown, and red tones.

Created this bracelet, one of the first times I've made hemp in a while. Petrified Wood is good for stability and grounding. The other bracelet I made a long time ago out of agate. This bracelet is my reminder to take it step by step, day by day.

A photo of a window with a film that is meant to look like rainbow stained glass. It's clear and prismatic so the light shines through in different colors depending on where you look at it.

It's been a long time bluesky.. going to be coming back to post sometimes as I think I'm over my social media break. Here's a cool window film that I got for the house.

Biochips made from mushrooms rival power of manmade semiconductors They may be better known for stir-fries than supercomputing, but shiitake mushrooms have now been harnessed to function as living processors, storing and recalling data like a semiconductor chip but w...

My feeds may be messed up/have been a little messy for a few days, currently in the process of moving and trying to figure out where to go next with my business. The feeds should be under control in a few days, and they still work. It's mainly the newer ones that will have issues.

What is ICE doing with this Israeli spyware firm? The Department of Homeland Security restored a $2 million contract with Paragon, maker of the Graphite surveillance tool, despite civil liberties concerns.

ICE and it's access to Pegasus/Graphite spying tools.

So cool!

Love ones with all the cool colors like that

I've been moderating this feed for a few days now, and it looks great every time I finish going through it! Always having to make little changes. I hope everyone likes this new feed for crystals and stones. Suggest rare ones for me to add in! #crystals #minerals #blueskyfeeds

There is a woman in Europe researching the rise of the authoritarian government in America. It's broken down into sections so that it may be possible to fight back against more specific things as the administration works on them.

What to know about federal charges against former National Security Advisor John Bolton Former National Security Advisor John Bolton has turned himself in to federal authorities in Maryland and pleaded not guilty after being indicted on charges of keeping top secret documents at his home...

"His criminal case is the third brought by the Justice Department in recent weeks against someone deemed adversarial to President Donald Trump. It also amplifies concerns that Trump is using the nation’s top law enforcement agency to punish political foes."

My other favorite is black tourmaline because it is piezoelectric and pyroelectric, changing the actual scientific nature of the world.

I like that quartz comes in basically every color (not the fale stuff but if you include jaspers and agates) and that all kinds of different parts of the Earth's story are shown when there are inclusions or other specifics. Lol thanks I could probably write an essay on quartz.

My favorite is quartz because it's so varied. A fact I always like is that chalcedony and jasper are also quartz, the main difference between the two of them and agate is that agate is banded. Jasper just has more mineral content that makes the colors so bright.

Feed Question: Chrono or randomized?

I'm debuting a much broader #crystals feed that pulls from a lot more sources!
​I also run feeds for #minerals, #buddhism, #handmade, and #fiberarts.

You can find all of them under the "Feeds" tab on my profile!

You're welcome

Reminds me of Michael Peuster carvings!

A lot of people have been interacting with a comment I made without seeing a comment under it. This article is some of

They did that to a congressman too I think.

He's great!

Literally just FELT the thought fly from my brain as I tried to grab it 🤨 #adhd

A text post on a white background with black text. The post is a thoughtful metaphor comparing therapy and treatment to fixing a broken car when you're on a road trip. ​Text Content: ​Here's a thought I had about how therapy & treatment works (vs how many people imagine it works). This is based on my experience with depression and chronic illness, but I hope it applies more broadly as well. ​Imagine you have to take a road trip on a deserted road alone. Halfway through the trip your engine starts to splutter and the car breaks down. What do you do? ​A lot of people imagine that therapy and treatment is like calling a mechanic to come and fix your car for you. You make the call, and then you just have to wait around until the mechanic has fixed the problem, and your car is good as new! Unfortunately, it doesn't work like that. There is no on-call mechanic. No-one is able to fix this car except for you. ​Instead, it's like you pull a toolbox out of the trunk, pop open the hood, and dial up the mechanic on the phone. You have to try and describe the problems as clearly as possible, and follow the advice they give you as well as you can. ​Sometimes you won't understand the advice, and you'll need them to explain it again or suggest something else. Sometimes you'll do what they say and the car still won't run, and they won't be able to explain why, only give you something new to try. Sometimes you'll think you fixed the problem and start driving, and the car will break again two minutes down the road. No matter what happens, it's going to be hard and messy and frustrating work. ​But at the end of it, not only will your car be running again, but you'll know how to fix it now. Which isn't to say that you'll never need another mechanic again, but next time you get stuck, it'll be that little bit easier to handle. ​So keep at it everyone, and good luck on your journeys!

A carved and polished crystal skull made of gray and black larvikite is held in a hand wearing a black glove. The stone displays its characteristic silver-blue flash. The background is a blurred, bright setting of green foliage and reddish-brown leaves.

Larvikite, also called Norwegian or Black Moonstone, is a grounding stone connecting you to Earth's energy. As a skull, it will aid meditation and shadow work. Geologically, this monzonite gets its silver-blue shimmer (schiller effect) from feldspar crystals. #crystals #crystalskull #witchsky

Yes! They are so fun and have so much wisdom. I feel like they all have different personalities 😅
