  1. @animalculum This is glorious! & would have delighted connoisseurs in the 14th century, a time of experiments with different yellows and golds.

  2. 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..

  3. 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
