when the pure moods track makes u feel like ur at a beach... on the moon

I’m sure it’s fine that we’re all trapped in one old guy’s dying mind

A bird with three or more colors? Here's an 'apapane sporting the red, black and white while doing a wren cosplay (not bad for a honeycreeper descended from a rose finch) :) 📷🦉🌿

touched grasses and sages and other nice plants today, and took terrible photos! 😊

One of the best pieces by Kaleb Horton ever is no longer easily available, because of course MTV wouldn't maintain actual good music writing done for its site once. Thankfully I found it again via some digging: his 2016 memorial to Merle Haggard on his passing. Link here, screencaps to follow.

Really sorry to hear about the sudden passing of Kaleb Horton, a fantastic writer. Only seems fitting to share what he wrote for David Lynch kalebhorton.ghost.io/death-is-jus...

RIP Kaleb Horton kalebhorton.ghost.io/2025-so-far/

this is one of the most chilling scenes in jurassic park, wherein, rather than showing us the brutality on screen, the movie uses sound effects to imply the gruesome violence as the cow beats the shit out of a bunch of velociraptors

#Kyanite forms distinctive blades in metamorphic rocks, recording metamorphic temperatures in mountain building events. It is used in ceramic and porcelain technology, clay texture and glazes, and even faceted gemstones. #MinCup25

Well don't I feel stupid

Autumn and the Relics Of A Dead Summer

No. Your friends don't secretly hate you. You're just dehydrated.

Oh, we have a new reason to support piezoelectric #Tugtupite in the #MinCup25 voting: It's a pizzacrystal now as well 😏 www.mineralcup.org/2025/vote/r3... #TeamPiezoelectric 🍕 #TeamPyroelectric 🔥

team tugtupite over here! because there aren't enough minerals with indigenous names, imo. plus all the other reasons everyone else said

#Tugtupite is... #Tenebrescent -It darkens when exposed to UV. #Fluorescent -It fluoresces under long-, mid-, or shortwave UV. #Phosphorescent -It GLOWS IN THE DARK!!!! www.flickr.com/photos/28617... www.flickr.com/photos/28617... www.flickr.com/photos/28617... #MinCup25

I’ll grant that it’s cool that “Borg cube” perovskite could be formed in a Brown Dwarf but I’m voting for reindeer blood tugtupite “King of Fluorescent Minerals,” which is tenebrescent (changes colour in UV) & phosphorescent so gains my physics vote plus it’s also a gem on the arts front #MinCup25

has anyone explained why new mexico looks "bad" here, when from what i've seen we're actually pretty good about vaccines...?

"The number of people seeking a vaccine during the outbreak was 61% higher than the number of people who received shots over the same time last year"

Some Democrats are also transforming their military into cops. But they do it in a nice way.

The watcher. One of a pack of coyotes I met the other morning while out on the kayak. This one kept a close eye on me from it perch on the cliffs. #mammals 🌿

Assata Shakur has "died in Havana, Cuba, as a result of health conditions and her advanced age." She was 78.

I love that monarch and queen butterfly larvae are basically the same caterpillar at work vs. out with the girlies

Since #hematite won its quarterfinal, if we can also get #tugtupite through we have the potential of a blood rock final match.

This weekend will likely be our last taste of the monsoon this year. Widespread showers/storms are likely Saturday and Sunday. Heavy rain is possible with some places picking up over 1" of rain through Monday. The monsoon is going out with a bang! #NMwx

Anyway, hanging out with my dad's cat

NPR is hocking a “sleep aide” dietary supplement this morning as part of their funding and I will remind us that no good study of Valerian has suggested it can help with sleep and conversely there are adverse reactions in some that hurt sleep And that “adaptogens” aren’t real, they’re not a thing.

Only known from a single plant growing in the botanic gardens in Sri Lanka, the endemic Pini-Beraliya was declared Extinct in the Wild. But a post on social media about the tree has now led to the discovery of three wild populations and a recovery programme! 🌱🧪🙌🏻 news.mongabay.com/2025/08/soci...

I literally do not know what the word "autism" means to people on here. Is it anyone with hobbies? Eccentrics?
