Hi Ryan! Haven’t seen you online since that old place self-destructed or at least morphed into a Bad Place. You were making great Lava flow tissue box covers back then.

And the more you convince yourself that you live under fascism, the more you will imbue yourself with a learned helplessness, because fascism cannot be fought in courts or at the ballot box. They die in war or by internal overthrow from their own military or inner circle. /5

I fear we’ll be stuck with this guy for years. He’s got billionaire financing and foreign investors behind him.

Great to hear of your trip!

Yes through my tears too, to face the next Mineral Cup match I will also likely lose on. I’ve had one choice out of these #MinCup25 candidates won. I can’t imagine what will happen for #Wavelite or #Diotase but at least I own specimens of each. Dioptase is arguably prettier, so there’s that.

Yes too soon.
Your broken-hearted friend

(Although I’m a big fan of dioptase)

Oh dear now I must go through #FAB #FleshAndBlood cards to see if any artists like using the #Azurite crystal for art. Or maybe #Magic #MTG. Maybe you @michaelwhelan.bsky.social ?

Ahhhhh — now I see, thanks my friend!

@vickyveritas.bsky.social Thanks I figured that BUT how did @martinhajovsky.bsky.social get his post to show BOTH the @mineralcup.bsky.social and mine that was boosted? @vickyveritas.bsky.social

You can see a bit of my huge poster of a remarkable specimen of #Azurite and malachite on a current photo of my literal desktop at home pinned as a post in Mastodon. It’s 4’ tall! Link in bio. To support vote in #MinCup25 see @mineralcup.bsky.social

I have no idea how this is done in Bluesky - I see the #minCup25 post from @mineralcup.bsky.social and below it the boosted post of mine. Cool! I just don’t have the hang of boosting here yet.

Oh dear. When link into my Mastodon account it doesn’t display my photo of #Azurite. The link goes completely outside Bluesky. Pfft! Mastodon all the links show up in their original page
Back to posting photos from my iPhone. Please do vote in the @mineralcup.bsky.social vote today!
