geologists

[alt: Tumblr post from the purple geologist:

in my own experience with geology most precautions with smallest are to preserve the life and safety if the geologist, most of the rocks are fine

reply by laboradoresence:

i am continually reminded of one of my colleagues, who wanted to collect a sample of gypsum on a field excursion but was too lazy to take off his backpack and get his rock hammer. so he said "eh, it's soft enough" just fucking punched the rock until a piece fell off like it was fucking Minecraft]
