Vote Quartz because it gives me a good excuse to share my Herkimer Diamond collection again.

Caitlin Nothhard @nothhart.bsky.social · 06/09/2026

Asagiite is very pretty, but I'm a sucker for quartz, especially Herkimer diamonds, cactus quartz, and specimens with fun inclusions. Plus, I love that quartz is such a great gateway into the mineral collecting hobby because of all the different varieties.

My freehand nailart skills are still a bit rough, but I did some cute lil’ mushrooms. I also attempted stamping on my thumb and pinky but haven’t yet mastered getting the stamp to fully pick up the design. And I need to find a top coat that doesn’t smear all my hard work.

Being the only human will be weird, but I think Ditto will take good care of making sure I’ve got a house to live in and bean hamburg steaks to eat.

Any time I'm out on my balcony, he wants to come out too, and he does this to indicate as much. It's funny every time.

Apparently it’s Spongebob Day today, so to celebrate here’s some miscellaneous art I did for Spongebob web games back in the day when like 50% of our studio’s output had Spongebob in it.

The first app game I ever worked on is still installed on my phone (via system transfers) and could very possibly be the only playable copy out there right now since it was delisted from the app stores 10ish years ago.

Really hoping the newly announced Dragon Quest Monsters game is good. Like yes, seeing a teaser for 12 is exciting (and I'm so happy they scrapped the grimdark angle), but a new Monsters game wasn't something I was expecting.

Reminder to Roc folks that my dad has a foster dog who's looking for a forever home. All she wants to do is cuddle up on you and get pets. If you or someone you know is looking for a dog, here's the adoption listing for her share.google/nZkD8Bww6vzC...

Anyone in Rochester looking for a dog? My dad's foster Layla is a sweetheart. She just met me today and she's already cuddled up on me and snoozing.

Volunteered today to help teach at a Pokemon tcg learn-to-play event at the Strong Museum of Play. Once again decided I needed themed nails for this event. Always fun seeing kids and families eager to learn how to play the card game together.

If you really need to read a book about a boy with messy hair whose name starts with H and ends with RY, goes to a magic boarding school, and befriends a ginger boy and a nerdy girl, read Wizard's Hall. It even came out first, so it's not a knock-off en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wizard%...

Barf! One of my local game shops that I get event emails from has started using GenAI trash in their email flyers. Guess I won’t be going to this store anymore.

A flyer for a Pokemon tournament that was clearly made by AI because everything is off model and includes terrifying hybrid Pokemon like something that appears to be half Lapras and half Spheal.

A flyer for a TMNT Magic draft using an obviously genAI image of the turtles where basically none of their weapons make any sense.

Look at these incredibly cool gifts my brother sent for my birthday. I don't know if it was intentional on his part, but that trilobite on the one magnet is an Arctinurus, which is found in a shale deposit that's named after our hometown & many of the specimens come from a quarry I've been to.

A bunch of geology and paleontology themed goodies. A mineral notepad, mineral washi tape, mineral tea towel, a fossil tea infuser water bottle, and three magnets (trilobite, ammonite, and dino fossils)

Went and saw the tour of Wicked last night. I couldn't not do themed nails, especially since one of the polishes is actually named Emerald City. Also, it's super hard to see, but on my thumb there is a nailart sticker of a witch riding a broom.

I’m watching Darkwing Duck right now and I can 100% tell from the animation in this particular was animated by one of the Japanese studios that also animated certain episodes of Tiny Toons. There’s something distinctly bouncy to that studio’s work and the way they do facial expressions.

Gave myself some wintery nails inspired by the Lorcana Winterspell expansion. And happened to pull a card that matches them quite nicely.

Icy blue manicure with demin blue holo glitter polish, a blue creme gradient with icicles, and a blue magnetic in velvet style with an icy silver to teal color.

Showing the manicure against a Winterspell booster pack with Tinker Bell on the wrapper.

Is it just me, or has anyone else been having issues with holiday shopping season deliveries all arriving late? Like, I've ordered from multiple places that use different delivery services, and I don't think a single thing has arrived when it was supposed to.
