Clinochlore:
- A magnesium-rich chlorite group mineral
- Forms in contact and regional metamorphism
- Its name comes from the Greek words "κλινειν/klinein" (to incline) and "χλωρο/chloros" (green) because of its inclined optic axes and its green colour #minerals

The Dept of Education may take down many sites soon including studentaid.gov

Folks should go to the website and download all their loan data (under "my activity" on the "My Aid" page), including docs related to loan consolidation, payment plan apps, FAFSA forms, and PSLF

Over a thousand people chanting “Do Your Job” as Democrats speak at a rally defending USAID.

Environment seems as agitated with Democrats as with Trump/Musk’s efforts to seize agencies.

Yells of “What are you gonna do about it?!” in response to Democrats talking about situation.

It seems that Space Karen's (a.k.a. Twitler) team has infiltrated the volcanological corner of the government. FYI, VDAP is a congress-mandated partnership between USAID and USGS:

At the time of the eruption, 47 people were on the island, which was a popular tourist destination back then. Unfortunately, 22 people lost their lives, and 25 others sustained serious injuries. (2/3)

Bluesky just passed 23 million subscribers. At this rate of growth, Musk/Zuckerberg/Trump will certainly attempt to shut it down on whatever pretext they can gin up. It is a single point of countervailing power and potential resistance in the infosphere, and as such is a prime target for lawfare.

50 years ago this November—a pair of paleoanthropologists found a skeleton that belonged to a 3.2 million year old hominin, which came to be nicknamed Lucy.

In today’s episode, we discuss what Lucy has taught us in the last 50 years.

Very late #VolcanoMonday but here you have a picture of Agua volcano, that I took in Antigua Guatemala back in February. This city will host the XV Central American Geological Congress later this week and as much as 200 to 300 geoscientists from the region will be there.

“…the neo-Nazis told police they had never experienced a response like the one they received in Columbus. They said people pulled guns on them and threw cans and vegetables as they marched... One of the officers noted the men were ‘covered in’ pepper spray.”
