  7. Deep sea worm fights poison with poison to survive high #arsenic and sulfide levels phys.org/news/2025-08-deep-sea

    A #DeepSea worm detoxifies arsenic and sulfur by intracellular #biomineralization of orpiment (As2S3) journals.plos.org/plosbiology/

    "A hydrothermal vent worm survives the high levels of arsenic and sulfide in its environment by combining them to form a less hazardous mineral... #orpiment—the same toxic, golden mineral produced by this worm—was once prized by medieval and Renaissance painters"

  11. CW: AI, non vegan and bird unfriendly

    A great deal of #AI is just mixing the #goose feed with #cinnabar and #orpiment in the hope the bird lays golden eggs (as some form of magic / alchemy) , and when it subsequently keels over then serving it up for dinner, so *everyone* who sits at the table gets slowly poisoned..

  16. So I had to go remind myself what #stibnite is because frankly I'm more used to seeing "antimony" still, but...

    as much as #sodalite is fun and pretty... listen, it's not chaos. Stibnite is basically chaos in most of its historical uses, iirc!

    Also it often co-occurs with things like #realgar, #cinnabar, #orpiment, and #galena... now that's some fun chaos company. Vote Stibnite for chaos!! #MinCup23
