Lots of you have been asking about a Patreon or something to support the Exchange, and I am humbled. Just knowing it means so much to so many keeps me going. I’m going to start a tip jar through ko-fi, which is 100% not required but definitely appreciated. https://t.co/Jp7mW6LgRe

If you have thoughts on an alternative platform to host a Rock Exchange community please reply here. I could run a discord, slack, etc!

Hi all! This year I will be taking a break from the Rock Exchange and instead focusing on my own health and wellbeing. I have big plans for a website overhaul for 2024 so please stay tuned!

[#RockExchange @SS_RockExchange]

@wizbee1 Sadly no. I need to take a break this year but plan to be back in 2024!

[#RockExchange @SS_RockExchange]

@zanzjan Ah, sorry I am looking for folks who have already shipped a rock to volunteer to ship another. If you get any cool rocks to send back, be sure to join us next year for #RockExchange2023 :)

Sooo today, I finally got around to photographing my @SS_RockExchange rocks under the microscope.

And ho boy, they are absolutely STUNNING 🤩

My gift giver, @Daynee04, was also wonderful enough to give a detailed explanation for each one.

Lab 1 of physical geology was getting more familiar with deep time! Assisted heavily by my Paleozoic Pals from the PRI and @MaxMastodon!

If you're still waiting for your rock and did not receive an email about being re-matched with a new Santa, that means that your original Santa confirmed that they shipped your rock. If you have not gotten tracking info and want it, DM or email [email protected]!

[#RockExchange @SS_RockExchange]

A HUGE thank you to all the folks who have stepped up to be re-gifters. I have reassigned everyone whose OG Santa never shipped for one reason or another. If you've been re-matched, you should have received an email from me just now.
