Let’s go team Titanite! It has strong trichroism, hardness of 5.5, and a sub-adamantine luster! What’s not to love! Sure, sure there may be some radioactive waves from the thorium content. But hey, you can repurposed it in your home nuclear ☢️ reactor! #mincup25

Recent years have seen an upswing in people playing tennis (or at least dressing like it). But it's not just a phase. The sport — at least some version of it — has been around since medieval times.
Lots of people love tennis. But do you know where it comes from?

In honor of National Library Week here’s some cool resources my library system offers to the public. Though it’s specific to my library, many public libraries offer a great number of invaluable resources you can inquire about.

Very impressive frontal band just about to move ashore in SF Bay Area. Quite a lot of convective activity is present, with numerous lightning strikes, briefly torrential downpours, and possibly a burst of very strong (50 to locally 70 mph) wind gusts. Not a typical NorCal frontal passage! #CAwx

Drawing the universal distress signal 'SOS' along the entire length of the Mer de Glace with headlamps! ❄️ 💡
That was the ambitious goal of this project involving a large team of 15 people on the glacier to focus attention to its disappearance 🔥🌡️
