spooky season time >:333 --- #BlaireArt #Pokemon #Halloween #Pumpkin #Umbreon #Fanart

I’m excited! I’m anxious! I’m nervous! #kyanite is here again in the finals! Let’s go! Runner-up last year, please make it this year’s winner! #tugtupite I didn’t know you before, you’re a worthy opponent but hands down my heart is with the blue blades of glory. #mincup25

As much as I wanted calcite, hematite, or a copper mineral to get here, these two both deserve their spots. I may just end up campaigning for both—the only bad result for this match would be if we don't have fun and learn. #MinCup25 #MinCup

#MinCup25 final vote! Even if you haven't played all month, you have one last chance to help decide the favorite mineral of the year.

and so we come to this. 💎 #MinCup25

Kyanite X tugtupite is the final match. Blade versus blood. Take your side and vote. #MinCup25 #minerals

Go kyanite!

Pretty blue versus Reindeer blood???

KY! AN! ITE! KY! AN! ITE! KY! AN! ITE! KY! AN! ITE! (idk... it seemed to work for the meat rock folx last year?) #MinCup25

Vote the BLUE KNIFE!! #Kyanite is an index mineral for formation under high pressure & low temperature, continental collision conditions, besides having the pretty blue blades!! Vote #MinCup25!

I’m voting for kyanite solely bc I used to have a Sailor Moon OC named after it

Sorry. When I posted this the hashtags were messed up. Resending. #MinCup25 ⚒️ sci-fi 🧪 🖖🏼 scifi Geosciences #WomenInSTEM geology 🔭🪐

I’ll admit, #Tugtupite is a toughie, but as a Mineral Cup rookie, we all know that the Reindeer Blood stone’s approach will be to slide its blade along the stubby sides of #Kyanite to no effect whatsoever! Anisotropic. Beautiful DEEP blue. Kyanite is rested and ready to be #MinCup25 champion!

Don't forget to vote for #kyanite today. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

🌌💖 #MinCup25 …Let's go!!! 🔪🩸🩸 It's finally the Age of #Kyanite!!! She's tasted blood already! Nothing can stop her now - not even the glory that's the Reindeer Girl's light show of a daughter, pretty pink Princess Tugtupite! She should've sliced "meat rock" last year…Let's fix that past mistake!

Kyanite is the best 🏆

Kyanite has fought long and hard these many years! Let’s get that win so it can retire with honour!

october please be gentle to my online friends

(if you can read this that includes you)

Some kyanite is fluorescent, too. This specimen comes from Møre og Romsdal , Norway. Top photo under white light, bottom photo under 365nm ultraviolet light (longwave UV). This specimen is currently listed on ebay (not my auction).

I would say tugtupite is more pink than red, but it's reindeer blood so I'm calling it close enough to Red vs Blue again. May the best mineral lose. Vote: www.mineralcup.org/2025/vote/r5... (And you should read Time War!) #MinCup25 #Tugtupite #Kyanite @amalelmohtar.com @maxgladstone.bsky.social

kyanite, I'm rooting for you!! #mincup25

I hope the rest of the week goes better for you. #NativePlants Right plant, right place.

in light of the speech today: ALCOHOLISM IS NOT WHY HEGSETH IS EVIL PSYCHOSIS IS NOT WHY HEGSETH IS EVIL HE IS EVIL BC HE IS A VIOLENT WHITE SUPREMACIST BIGOT this admin is gunning for the mentally ill and y'all GOTTA stop doing the work of stigmatizing for them.

hey leftists. you know ppl with aspd, npd, or bpd. you know ppl with psychosis. delusions. who struggle with addiction. & yanno what? we hear when you blame powerful ppl's evil actions on the disorders you decided they had. disorders that we share. that's why we don't trust you enough to tell you.

some of you are going "i would NEVER talk abt my friend with bpd like that" while also still considering those with aspd to be irredeemable. enough of this "THIS kind of person is ACTUALLY okay to demonize." just stop acting like anyone is automatically an inhuman monster bc of their brains.

i promise you not every, single member of the us gov't complicit or participating in fascism is "a psychopath" or "a narcissist." plenty of them are just garden variety shitty, evil, greedy capitalists. their actions make them evil, not whatever illness you've decided is going on in their heads.

no one deserves to be preemptively deemed to be a monster. no one deserves to be preemptively abandoned just for existing. actions make morality, and if someone has trouble with empathy but ISN'T HURTING ANYONE OVER IT fucking leave them alone.

"ppl who lack empathy" can still practice compassion. and can still be good people. there is nothing stopping them. if anything, the stigma against them just makes it harder for them to cope and BE GOOD PEOPLE. bc when everyone's decided you are your worst urges, why keep trying to prove them wrong?

Good evening to you, little star 🤍💫🌙

#Tugtupite is facetable and carveable, readily shaped into palm-sized cabochons that react with heat and light. #MinCup25

#Hozier #BearMcCreary #Indigisky #GodOfWar #MinCup25 #Tugtupite

I Like Dioptase, but #tugtupite is just the cooler mineral. Not only because it is from #Greenland... but it has so many striking features. beautiful red reversible Color change! florescence, posphorescence! Contains Be (hey, team #poison) one of the rarest stable Elements. Vote #tugtupite !!!

I really want tugtupite to win, so please if you haven’t voted in this please vote for tugtupite!

Wow. #MinCup25 rookie #Tugtupite has so many emotional advantages over hardened (not Mohs-wise) veteran desert queen #Dioptase. It’s like it got designed when an elementary school class got asked “What do you want in a mineral?” Pink! Changes color! Glows! Electric powers! Mythical reindeer blood!
