what's going on in the congo since there's also a genocide happening over there as well:

to sum it up, people in the congo are literally being worked as slaves to mine for this material called coltan, which is very valuable as its used for things like phones, laptops, just electronics in general. Congo is the number 1 producer for this material and the places behind this genocide is America, Britain, France, and Israel, wow what an absolute shocker. The worst places probably to ever exist benefit from a genocide. These places are funding Rwanda and Uganda military groups, to go into the Congo and kill MILLIONS of people. This has also been going on for YEARS. Many women have been SA'd and men are forced to work in INHUMAN conditions, resulting in their death and the colonizers are absolutely benefitting from this. 6 MILLION people have been killed and half of them are literally kids. Many of the Congolese people have also been displaced.

Please speak out about and raise your voice

According to a recent report published by the Aargauer Zeitung (h/t Golem.de), around three million smart toothbrushes have been infected by hackers and enslaved into botnets.

The most cyberpunk thing on your dash today.

have you obtained any cool rocks recently?

I recently acquired this gorgeous Apache Tear obsidian nodule!

While in the American Southwest these obsidian nodules are nicknamed "Apache Tears," the mineralogical name for this stuff is marekanite!

(So, like, an aside. Usually when the healy-feely folks claim a stone has some association with a "native american legend" they are making it up and being weirdly fetishistic of those cultures. Looking at you, labradorite. But as far as I can tell, this stone really does get its name from a legitimate Apache legend. If anyone of that culture feels like chiming in, I would love to learn more about it.)

Anyway, Apache Tears are cool stuff. Here's how they form.

A volcano erupts, and deposits a lava flow which cools super rapidly. It cools so rapidly that it doesn't have time to grow crystals and become a rock, and instead hardens into a black, volcanic glass called obsidian. Over about ten thousand years, groundwater slowly infiltrates this obsidian. The water gradually changes it into a white stone called perlite. But within that mass of perlite, nodules of the original obsidian remain, looking like glassy black marbles. Those are Apache Tears!

This specimen came from Arizona, where volcanic activity has been going on for over two million years! You can see some white perlite still sticking to it. This piece is HUGE for an Apache Tear, which typically don't get much bigger than your thumbnail!

How goes the early mermay? Any more fishies swimming in your brain?

Sorry for the late reply on this one, but kept working on this on n off for a few months and finally got this done ! Might as well submit this for this ask :))

I’m not doing mermay formally, but I love this au in general so it’s something I’m for sure doing year round at my own leisure.

Basim is a honeycomb moray eel in this au!! Here’s some notes

He has a pharyngeal jaw kinda of positioned and ‘splayed’ at the corners of his inner throat

Basim’s skin (especially at his mer-half) is really smooth to the touch thanks to being covered in protective mucus

He collects valuable stuff he finds for himself, especially the shinier items that may fall off fancy yachts or cruises

Basim prefers being active at night (both because moray eels are nocturnal, and that Basim sleeps better when it’s light out due to frequent nightmares)

Moray eels, unlike most fish, don’t have covers over their gill slits, which means they have to pump water manually through their mouths to get oxygen flowing. Basim has these slits on his neck and sides

Hope you like it!
