Hi, if you are following me for rock things, please be advised it also comes with fringe politics and an excessive use of the word βfuck.β

For those of you interested in odd categories of rocks: sometimes a rock is just a pile of death.

Hey guys, does anyone have that tweet about how everyone says Elmo is smart but then you hear him talk about something you know about and it becomes rapidly clear he is not smart?

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?

Re: the weird conservative meltdown about male cheerleaders: I hadnβt seen anyone mention that George W. Bush was a cheerleader, so then I compulsively fact checked that and not only is that true, but it turns out FDR, Eisenhower, AND Reagan were also cheerleaders.

FWIW Iβd rather have Elmo defenders in here than the other guyβs defenders, hence the usage.

Uh oh, once youβre looking up these kind of definitions, youβre in the danger zone.
Essentially, a rock is any mass of naturally occurring mineral or mineraloid matter.
Problem is the separation between mineral and organics can be wiggly. See: bone.

This is so, so sad. The only historic records that survive for most people are birth certificates and obituaries, and the latter is the only record of someoneβs life. That shit is so important.

Omfg guys. I am a frequent UTI-haver (it sucks). The one urgent care in town has a creepy doctor, and I just tried the only other one and they want $250 to be seen (lmao what no).
Just tried GoodRx for a doctor and Iβm fucking blown away. $39, ~15-20 minutes, done. π€―

Deeply amused that I specifically chose βmineral showβ instead of βrock showβ so it would not be confused with a concert, and yet I have now learned there is a band named Mineral and so there is still confusion about this being a concert.

Iβve ended up in a strange conversation with a liberal friend, and I hate to report: I fucking see it now, they are also in a cult.
We are having an impossible time breaking down that when I say the Democratic Party is spineless, that isnβt a personal insult.

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.)

Youβd probably have to stabilize the material (high chance itβs pretty porous and you donβt want that for counters), but once you did that, sure.

So the little cloth they gave me for my glasses just seems to smear shit around whereas my cotton shirt works much better, but Iβm under the impression Iβm not supposed to use my shirt for cleaning my glasses?
Am I supposed to wash the little cloth or WTF am I doing wrong here?

I watched the first season of Zelenskyβs stupid fucking TV show and there is a scene HE WROTE where he dreams of becoming a tsar.
He was not even quiet about it.

Didnβt have to wait awkwardly in a waiting room while needing to pee constantly, didnβt have secret pregnancy tests being done, like. I have argued for years all of this was bullshit and I finally found the hack to get around it.
Idk how GoodRx works, but I fucking love them.

When thereβs a hold line that gets interrupted every 30 seconds by some recorded message, that means I literally canβt even do anything while Iβm waiting on hold and it means Iβm gonna be fucking livid by the time someone fucking answers the damn phone.

Two years ago, I did this thing.
Before painting, I thought to myself, βYou know, I really SHOULD tape this, but that sounds really fucking tedious so letβs try not doing that and see what happens.β
Everything was fucking fine.

The natural v. synthetic diamond debate just makes me think De Beers marketing fucking got all of you.
There are other gemstones β both more beautiful and more interesting ones, imo β and they can be ethically sourced. Fuck diamonds entirely.

Yes, yes, everything is awful, but look at this cool rock.
ALT Reticulated cerussite from the Nahlak Mine, Iran. It looks kinda like a snowflake - things shooting off at angles and lots of void spaces.
