@Barnaby_Joyce “We’re going to get nailed” is very disrespectful when talking about god. Do you have any idea what happened to his son?

My new blog on the fake world of a travel blogger... maybe I should stick to my rocks? https://t.co/o6HtyuctvU

[Sophia Benoit @1followernodad]

you're probably only seeing pictures of bombed Aleppo. remember to go back and read & learn about what was bombed, too. Make it real.

@Tyranakisaurus Interesting! I'm looking at hydrothermal magnetites from IOCG deposits in Brazil, but they rarely have ilmenite.

Going on a road trip to escape my PhD... Lucky I've already wrote a post travel depression blog for when I return! https://t.co/SxjgSiHXRO

@Tyranakisaurus Question: Does this exsolution tell us anything about P/T conditions?

Hay-fever sneeze season is a dangerous time to be hand picking my precious few zircon crystals....

@kimi_collins That feeling when you have 2 beers and read that "Severus Snape: The Definitive Guide" is a thing and it's all you want.

@i_rockhopper I'm just starting and experimenting but keeping it wet works best for me. Also I think I'm exaggerating my dislike for likes!

[Eliza Smith @elizafsmith]

@i_rockhopper Staring into microscope sorting crystals with a needle alone in a basement is nobodies idea of fun. But the data is worth it!

My view for the next month...Picking #zircon crystals for U-Pb dating sounds cool and sciency, but is actually harmful to mental health!

Quick, look at this pretty SEM image of some magnetite (with ilmenite lamellae) and stop thinking about Trump! #rocksnotjerks @elizafsmith

[Eliza Smith @elizafsmith]

Here's a pic of pretty fuchsite, a Cr-mica, purely so there's something other than Donald Trump on your twitter feed. For fuchsite's sake!

Ever write a blog then read it a year later and cringe? Flint as a building material-flintessential South England: https://t.co/mUn4P3lDOj

Is a PhD about getting stuff figured out, or getting stuff published? #publishorperish
