On Monday, I was diagnosed with ADHD at the age of 28. I'm relieved to finally hear those words come out of a professional'S mouth and tell me I'm not crazy for thinking I have it. It's a huge relief and I can't wait for the rest of my life to begin.
Made the decision to go back to school... Again.
I will be going for my associates in early Childhood Education and will graduate in December of 2023!
2021 was tied for the sixth-hottest year since modern record keeping began. We work together with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration to track temperatures around the world and study how they change from year to year.
For decades, the overall global temperature has been increasing because of human activities. The last decade has been the warmest on record. Each individual year’s average temperature, however, can be affected by things like ocean circulation, volcanic eruptions, and specific weather events.
For instance, last year we saw the beginning of La Niña – a pattern of cooler waters in the Pacific – that was responsible for slightly cooling 2021’s average temperature. Still, last year continued a long-term trend of global warming.
Globally, Earth’s temperature in 2021 was nearly 2°F warmer than the late 19th Century, for the seventh year in a row.
Since 1880, we can put together a consistent record of temperatures around the planet and see that it was much colder in the late-19th century. Before 1880, uncertainties in tracking global temperatures are larger. Temperatures have increased even faster since the 1970s, the result of increasing greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.
Our scientists use millions of individual observations of data from more than 20,000 weather stations and Antarctic research stations, together with ship- and buoy-based observations of sea surface temperatures, to track global temperatures.
Our global temperature record – GISTEMP – is one of a number of independent global temperature records, all of which show the same pattern of warming.
As Earth warms, temperature changes occur unevenly around the globe. The Arctic is currently warming about four times faster than the rest of the planet – a process called Arctic amplification. Similarly, urban areas tend to warm faster than rural areas, partly because building materials like asphalt, steel and concrete retain heat.
More than 88% of the Western US experienced drought conditions in 2021. At the same time, communities in Western Europe saw two months’ worth of rain in 24 hours, breaking records and triggering flash floods. Because a hotter climate means more water can be carried in the atmosphere, areas like the Western US suffer drought from the increased 'thirstiness' of the atmosphere, while precipitation events can become more extreme as the amount of moisture in the atmosphere rises.
Melting ice raises sea levels around the world, as meltwater drains into the ocean. In addition, heat causes the ocean water to expand. From 1993 to today, global mean sea level has been rising around 3.4 millimeters per year. In 2021, sea level data from the recently launched NASA/ESA Sentinel-6 Michael Freilich mission became available to the public.
“This is not good news, but the fact that we are able to track this in real time and understand why it’s changing, and get people to notice why it’s changing and how we can change things to change the next trajectory, that gives me hope. Because we’re not in the dark here. We’re not the dinosaurs who are unaware the comet is coming. We can see the comet coming, and we can act.” – Dr. Gavin Schmidt, director of NASA GISS, where the global temperature record is calculated

I wish I had the time and energy, but I have 3 jobs and a toddler 😂
EVERYTIME I SEE THIS POST I’M AFRAID TO SCROLL TO THE END OF IT BECAUSE I ALWAYS THINK BETTY WHITE HAS DIED
Betty White, last of the jedi.
Rest in Peace.

Guys I reblogged this and then wrote an 8000 word story I didn’t even have a solid plan for. Reblog this shit.
[id: a fortune cookie broken in half with a fortune laid out below it that reads: “You will find the holy trinity of writing: motivation, inspiration, and time to write.”]/end id.
I hope this is helpful for you!
(Also, check my blog if you want to!)

I've been through a lot since the beginning of covid. It's hard to believe that cases were starting to pop up in parts of the world just two years ago. My son was born in mid December 2019 before any known cases were confirmed in the US. May 2020 I go back to school to be a medical assistant. Lots of depression and anxiety about starting a new career in health care in the middle of a pandemic. School was fun and I enjoyed it all while making lifelong friends. I studied at night and took care of my son during the day. It's hard to believe he's just days away from turning 2. He was my inspiration to go back to school. I passed all of my classes with a 99 average, earned the highest score on the Registered Medical Assistant exam, and the second highest score on the Certified Phlebotomy Technician exam. With that, I did my externship at a pediatric vision center which I was less than thrilled with. My depression got worse and I felt ill prepared for the actual job I was trained for. Never did I think it would be so hard to get a job in a field that is much needed but without experience, my chances were second to none. I graduated from school in July with honors. More depression. In September I took a cna course and got a 94 out of 100 which was was yet again the highest score in my class and I got more points than what were given because of extra credit. The job I had at the nursing home didn't work out due to vehicle issues and distance between the job and my house. Speaking of, my husband and I bought a house back in May the day after our 4th wedding anniversary. It's in a great location at the south tip of a lake in town and we couldn't have gotten anything even remotely similar for the price we got this house. I'm now working in a respite house with children in police protective custody and will be starting my second job as a special education cna/Paraeducator sometime soon as well. There's a lot more, but I have a horrible memory. I thought you guys deserved an explanation and I'm hoping to get back to writing here soon! Thank you for your continued support!
I really want to start writing again but I have zero confidence in myself nowadays
I can't believe he's gonna be 2 in 13 days 😭
1. Riftan - Under the Oak tree
Such an amazing and loving husband!!!!
2. Blake - I became the wife of the monstrous crown prince.
I quickly want this baby rabbit to grow up into a wolf, I mean into a man like his dad. His dad is hot though.
3. Raphael - The Villianese is a marionette
I love black hair male leads and this guy is sweet.
4. Max - Daddy, I don't want to get married.
As I said before, I like male leads with black hair + tyrants. But this guy is a blushing mess, throughout the whole manhwa. I could just make a collage out of his blushing face only. Just look at him!!!!
5. Heinley - Remarried empress
Do I even have to? Come on, though who read this manhwa surely knows that this guy is an angel.
(Actually, there are more male leads I love. But since the one post only allows 10 pics, maybe I'll do a part 2 later.)
Haha ig it's been a while lmao
