Remember: it's always ok to put rocks in your mouth!

Links

This page is a collection of some of my favorite websites. It may seems sparse right now, but I am always adding new pages that spark joy in my heart. I plan to use this as basically my bookmarks folder.

Geology Websites

I am a geology major in college so I'm constantly looking stuff up, having to filter through all the metaphysical content. No hate to the crystal girlies but they and I have very different reasons for searching the words "pyrite properties" and I would really appreciate it if pyrite's metaphysical properties didn't take up so much space on the first page of my search results.

  • Alex Strekeisen - lots of general information about rocks, great collection of thin section pictures
  • Mindat - mineral lookup and has a map of rockhounding sites with variable accuracy
  • Handbook of Mineralogy - online compilation of PDFs for every confirmed mineral, essentially identical to the print version

TTRPG Websites

I am a GM and I play mostly DnD so some of these sites are only really useful to GMs or people who play DnD. I do want to expand my systems repertoire so if you have any cool OSR systems or really anything with an interesting crunch, send them my way. Also, I try to augment my worldbuilding with randomness so a lot of generators will probably crop up here eventually.

Accounts/Pages on Other Sites

This section is basically just links to accounts on various social platforms that I've been enjoying lately. They are sorted by platform. As my interests are constantly changing, this particular section will probably update as I discover new accounts, with my most recent favorites at the top of each platform section.
