As a former middle school science teacher and #RecoveringGeologist I can confirm ALL of this is true.
Fist my bump! 👊
The eruption of the Kilauea Volcano on the Big Island of Hawaii.
Episode 42. The answer to life, the universe, and everything.

This morning at 09:57 am HST, the US Geological Survey lost camera V3. 🪦 It was covered in ash and cinder during Episode 38 inside in the caldera of Kilauea Volcano on the Big Island of Hawaii. #RecoveringGeologist
How Americans respond when asked to pick rock, paper or scissors: Scissors 30% Paper 26% Rock 44%
As a #RecoveringGeologist ⚒️ I find this result deeply satisfying.
Spent much of the evening studying the tsunami warning in the Pacific Ocean. Here on the West Coast, California will be spared except for areas that get historically inundated, such as Crescent City. They are forecast to see wave heights between 3.1-5.7 ft over 36 hours. #RecoveringGeologist
🧵
As a #RecoveringGeologist ⚒️ I will say the yellow team's jersey looks like a trilobite, and I'm fine with that.
Episode 29 is rising with the sun! Scrub back to 5:45 HST to catch the start of the golden hour, when the oranges and blues are at their peak. #RecoveringGeologist
Distracted boyfriend meme. In this case the volcanologist (whistling boyfriend) is more interested in Iceland (cute woman walking away) than Hawaii (current girlfriend) who is visibly upset.
Iceland is going off. 🌋
Time to dust off this meme. #RecoveringGeologist
Color Name: PANTONE 18-1555 TCX - Molten Lava Hex Color Code: #B5332E RGB Color Code: RGB(181, 51, 46) CMYK Values*: 0.0%, 71.8%, 74.6%, 29.0%
I was today days old when I first learned that Molten Lava has its own Pantone color.
Actually, red is not that hot. < 800 C 💯
Orange? Hotter. 800-1,000 C
Yellow? 1,000-1,200 C. Now you're cooking!

Personally, I’ll wait for the stratocone volcano deck from @bethsobel.bsky.social.

Episode 25 just dropped at Kīlauea Volcano on the Big Island of Hawaii. #RecoveringGeologist ⚒️
24th episode since 2018. You go, girl!
#RecoveringGeologist ⚒️
Wait…that’s how I read it. #RecoveringGeologist ⚒️
But we’d go with something like
“Less Talk
More L̶a̶v̶a̶
(eruption required)”
rows of rocks on display that have eyes and mouths
There’s a museum in Japan dedicated to rocks that look like faces.

By looking at the chemistry of lava coming out of an active vent, you can tell whether it’s fresh or leftover from a previous eruption decades prior. #RecoveringGeologist
Episode 21 of the current eruption at the summit of Kilauea Volcano since 2018 on the Big Island of Hawaii.
They try to cancel this show, but the studio continues to drop new episodes. #RecoveringGeologist

Eruption from a vent inside the summit caldera of the Kilauea Volcano on the Big Island of Hawaii. The vent is producing a fountain on incandescent lava and is spilling on the caldera floor and flowing from right to left in streams of orange and red.
Oh, episode 20. Fly. Be free!

Case in point: Today I sat in 20D and got to see (l-r) Rainier, St. Helens, and Adams. #RecoveringGeologist
Personally, I think the methane explosions are way cooler, but that's just me. 🤓 #RecoveringGeologist
Arc volcanism! 🌋
Pro Tip: It always important to remember to sit on the right side of the plane when flying north to the PNW.

Tell me you never visited the Hawai’i Volcanoes National Park without telling me you’ve never visited the Hawai’i Volcanoes National Park. #RecoveringGeologist #boardgames
700-foot fountain of lava in a volcanic caldera on the Big Island of Hawaii.
Episode 16 of the eruption of Kilauea Volcano!

Episode 15 of the current eruption at Kilauea.
Or somebody captured a bishop.
You make the call. #RecoveringGeologist

Photo of a laptop screen with my card 22a expanded full screen for Lava Flow: “When the first bishop is removed from play, place a coin on the space to represent a sudden volcanic eruption. Any piece on lava is immediately removed from play. Only knights may jump over lava.”
Try look! @long-tail-games.bsky.social is working on a digital prototype in Screentop of their upcoming “Chess: The Unofficial Expansions,” and I’m already effusive 🌋 with joy and gratitude.

The latest episode of @npr.org Throughline creates a narrative arc between the K-T boundary and Carl Sagan, and it’s fascinating!
#RecoveringGeologist ⚒️
Episode 13! The network cancelled this show, but the fans keep bringing it back. #RecoveringGeologist 🌋
As a #RecoveringGeologist, I find the chorus of this Brenn! song to be very cool.
As a #RecoveringGeologist I approve this message.
