A gemthought is a micro-log entry for the Gemini space. These tend to be much smaller than a regular gemlog entry and have some extra semantic features. Inspiration is drawn from micro-blogging websites such as Mastodon, but with a much simpler set of features.
Check out some examples of gemthoughts here:

A rethought is another gemthought that is in response to the original thought. Examples can be simple replies to a gemthought, supporting or contradicting evidence among many other things.
A gemthought can have one or more hashtags, which allows them to be classified in a distributed manner. Usually the object of the triple will be a URN of the form urn:hashtag:<sometag> and aliased in the triple of the bullet point.
