Vote Rhodochrosite! Cutting edge research is showing that meat rock made animals! Manganese carbonate rocks are tied to climate extremes that shaped Ediacaran biota — the first animals. You owe your life to meat rock! It’s the final match. Vote rhodochrosite! (Next year: Whewellite & Calcite)
I met a Cambridge urologist once, who told me about Whewellite when he learned I was a Fellow of Trinity. I almost organised a College visit for him and his urology colleagues. But if he was a typical case, they don’t know how to pronounce ‘Whewell’. #HPS#histsci
tbh i'm probably fine with that, howlite is nice and i feel like whewellite is probably some kind of sentient alien? i felt compelled to vote for it so it would spare me when the uprising came
Nooo whewellite lost by 5 VOTES, this is putting me through it
Skeeps, "whew" is only five votes behind "how". Voting closes soon - you deserve a break. Don't think of a mineral elephant. Enough with the explanations. Go for the vibes (millions of torty kitties can't be wrong). Feel the relief: vote "whew"! h/t @georgelakoff.bsky.social#Whewellite#MinCup24

Ever used the word scientist, physicist, linguistics, consilience, catastrophism, uniformitarianism, astigmatism, electrode, ion, dielectric, anode, or cathode? Thank the philosopher & historian who coined them--William Whewell--by voting now for Whewellite! ⬇️ #HPS#histsci#philosophy 🧪⚒️⚛️
