An excellent read on how Facebook keeps growing it's market and increasing it's "value":

I gave it up, then recreated it, don't play that game but in the Kootenays it was a way for people to find you (many of whom couldn't afford a phone). And find the good parties...

Another one I'd driven by a hundred times and never noticed, you're eyes have to be just right, so once spotted I made a plan to go back and explore. Nothing too interesting, other than the calcite flowing and growing into stalactites from the ceiling.

Basically a bunch of images of places I was prospecting above Creston. Some nice black tourmaline - massive and in crystals, most pieces shattered when trying to get it out of the host rock, some tiny green beryl crystals, gemmy, but too small, and following the vein of pegmatite couldn't find the source, and other photos taken in the field...
Beautiful exposure of pegmatite, quartz, black tourmaline, fine mica,
Massive black tourmaline (in boulder next to log)
Finer tourmaline crystals, garnet
Small pale green beryl in shadow at center of pic.
Pegmatite.

My dreams, the past 6 weeks, anxiety laden, not a single good one. Just shit dreams. And so this one - yesterday, no surprise, no deviation, surprising in it's content but it wasn't really, I'd subconsciously absorbed Kurzgesagt's "What if we Nuke a City" video from my recommendations on YouTube, I hadn't even watched it, I knew it wouldn't end well, but it still ended up being the malign subject for my dream.
Which was as follows:
That I've somehow survived a Nuclear Attack upon my city, only I'm burned, deeply, I can feel the irradiation in my skin, and I know that I haven't got long left, a couple of days, max, but I move underground into this labyrinth of underground cities with others, also burned, and we find a new city...
...that ends up being nuked as well, and always we're finding new cities, and I can feel the radiation burning through my clothes, through my skin, and I know that soon it'll be peeling off me, peeling off everyone, we're all doomed to die and soon ...
That was it. Most of my nuclear war dreams end hopeful, this one did not, merely a succession of cities getting nuked and myself being increasingly irradiated.
And I didn't even watch the fucking video. All my dreams, these past 6 weeks, none worth writing down, all permeated with a vague, unsettling disquiet...
I need to go on a dopamine fast and quick. Monday. Monday expect no posts from me, I'll be fasting...
