Among the Tennessee State Museum's collection of archaic Native American artifacts, I found these Mississippian burial masks particularly striking: weeping peregrines - as though, within their riparian mounds, the valorized, therianthropic dead mourned themselves in the dark. pic.twitter.com/7nfKQ6OPv4

Infinity Mirror Earrings

*whew* took all day, but I actually made a finalized single infinity mirror earring. I'll make the second another day. It was hard, but doable. I'll answer questions if you want. A thread. #laserartist #infinitymirror #wearabletech #womeninSTEAM @EffulgentLED pic.twitter.com/ADKNdHgUDT

From the thread:

Sandwich the hearts around the hollow hearts, one side a one-way mirror, the other a two-way mirror. This was the hardest hot glue job I've maybe ever done. Worked eventually though. pic.twitter.com/1WJjUxdf3f

— Claire Danielle Cassidy (@LaserMistress) May 23, 2020

At popular request: This earring weighs 6oz with battery. Right at the limit of my tolerance for an earring. My plan is to replace the 3mm thick acrylic one and two-way mirrors at the front and back with 1mm acrylic to cut weight. Stay tuned, I'll work on that next weekend.

San Francisco emergency medical workers are going to wear rings that will track their temperature and other vital signs

The Oura rings are the brainstorm of an assistant psychiatry professor:

Two weeks ago, Mason’s study on saunas and extreme heat in the treatment of depression came to a screeching halt when UCSF froze all non-essential research.

A dejected Mason texted Harpreet Rai, the CEO of Oura Health. She had purchased the Oura Rings because they were non-invasive, wearable devices that tracked body temperature. The pair discussed COVID-19 and the CEO began wondering if the ring device that records the wearer’s vital signs could help TSA agents in airports determine whether they are going to get sick.

“I told him, ‘I have no idea how to get you into an airport, but I’d like to put them on the fingers of all UCSF’s emergency staff,’” Mason recalled.

“Let’s do it!” the CEO responded.

The rings have been marketed as a sleep aid.

Bf and I agree to meet in the café. I get undressed, grab a lil towel and go off to the sauna. There are 2 unmarked doors at the end of a corridor, I take a guess and go through the one on the left.

It's not the door to the sauna. It's the fire escape.

Medusa ring and Ring of Salt

By Sofia Zakia.

"Jewelers must say whether diamonds are mined or synthetic: U.S. FTC"

Reuters:

The U.S. Federal Trade Commission, which investigates allegations of deceptive advertising, has sent warning letters to eight companies to insist they distinguish in advertisements between diamonds from mines and those made in laboratories

...

De Beers has responded to pressure from laboratory-grown diamonds by tearing up its decades-old policy of only selling natural diamonds in jewelry and beginning to sell synthetic stones.

It sells the lab-made diamonds for less than rivals to emphasize the difference between what it sees as fun, fashion jewelry and natural diamonds created in the earth

As Bruce Sterling wrote,

Insist on purchasing organic Slow Diamonds, fully-natural lumps of carbon artisanally dug by hand right out of Mother Earth

*Previously: Popcap made a ring for the wedding anniversary of a fan of Bejeweled.
