I was in a 2 hour briefing today on the Iran War. All the briefings are closed, because Trump can't defend this war in public.

A blue and white sodalite obelisk. A smooth, palm stone of dark and white orca agate,. A d10 shaped purple amethyst. A clear, green, and purple fluorite d8. A small, tumbled shard of amber. All placed together on a light colored piece of wood.

Feed cleanse: cool rocks I got at World of Rocks in Ypsilanti, MI. Clockwise from the little obelisk: sodalite, orca agate, amethyst d10, fluorite d8, and a tiny piece of amber. Nice folks running the place and such cute drawings on the ID tags in store.

An astronomy professor colleague of mine once relayed trying to explain to his students why it was important that they actually write their class reports themselves. “The point is not to teach ME about neutron stars,” he said.
