being a rock enjoyer is actually so terrifying like i was in the car with my dad a while ago and ke kept putting on metal and rock songs that i liked and i got so scared i started listening to lady gaga on my phone

[itsseriouslyridiculous]

my mom is being such a trial today

like I'm not allowed a moment of peace and she keeps getting really mad over tiny things.

etc

I can't even explain it because what she says doesn't make sense but is hurtful even though it's not true

it's probably because she has this really bad cough that she should probably go to the doctor for. it's probably making her agitated.

but it really hurts me emotionally when she is like this

and I like lose time and can't

Russia’s Warming Arctic Is a Climate Threat. War Has Shut Scientists Out of It. (New York Times)

Excerpt from this New York Times story:

Western scientists studying the Arctic are increasingly lost in the hunt for data, the result of the cutoff in relations with Russia.

Crucial climate science has been stymied as Russia, which makes up over half the Arctic, continues its war in Ukraine. Data flowing between Western and Russian scientists has slowed to a trickle with Western-imposed sanctions and other restrictions, interrupting work on a host of projects.

The stalled collaboration is setting back efforts to monitor the shrinking of the Arctic, which is warming four times faster than the global average and accelerating the planet’s rise in temperature. That threatens to leave governments and policymakers without a clear picture of how fast the Earth is heating up.

“It may be impossible to understand how the Arctic is changing without Russia,” said Alessandro Longhi, an Italian permafrost scientist. He spoke as he trudged through snow earlier this month with a colleague near Toolik Field Station, a research outpost run by the University of Alaska Fairbanks in the northern part of the state. Western scientists, locked out of Russia, have increasingly turned to stations like these to work in the Arctic.

As the researchers headed out to collect readings on how vegetation interacts with the vulnerable permafrost soils, their prints in the snow joined with tracks of caribou, fox and ermine heading in all directions. Dr. Longhi stopped and stepped back as his colleague placed a plastic chamber over a tiny portion of the vast Arctic tundra to test whether gasses released from the permafrost varied by the plants, such as cotton grass, buried underfoot.

“This is the worst-case scenario for what may happen elsewhere,” he said about the changing permafrost around Toolik.

But without windows into Russia, researchers are missing irreplaceable data on the dwindling frost. Recent studies suggest that without such information from Russian research stations, many of which have been suspended from a major Arctic monitoring network, Western scientists’ understanding of Arctic changes is being skewed toward North America and Europe.

“It makes no sense to exclude half the Arctic,” said Torben Rojle Christensen, a professor at Aarhus University and the science director of Zackenberg Research Station in Greenland.

Tango,

Its been awhile, at least, it feels that way to me. Each day that passes feels like a week.

Me and Nancy have taken a fancy in playing games. Pong, rock paper scissors, tic-tac-toe, the likes. It'd be nice if we could expand our catalog.

Did you send the dirt and grass? It will most definitely take a long while to get to us. I could ask Nancy for coordinates to give you an idea just how far down we are.

Anything new happening with you?

Best wishes,

Guy.

dodnt bemad ok? dont be madbut i also wantedto get you guys some apples toolike a carepackage!! anndt hen i got stuck in a tree and ivee been sittibg hwre all day becausee i dontt wantt to fall and break all my limbs likee somekind of brokeen limbed thingg

So going through therapy and listening to a lot of music cause that’s how I process after the fact. And I highly recommend giving Honest by Kyndal Inskeep and song house a listen if you haven’t already and her official music video is good tooLike it just connects to your soul.

A title tales request:

“I'll give you roses just hopin' you don't see the weeds in my garden”

Oh, I have never heard that song before, but the lyrics you shared are really pretty. 💛

I hope therapy goes well for you, Anon. 😊

Neville Longbottom/Female Harry Potter.

Heiress Harriet Potter tries her hardest to grow true love roses from her magic, so that she can gift them to Heir Neville Longbottom. Only, she's not talented at Herbology and all she grows are weeds.

IDK AM I CONFUSING HELP WHY AM I DEFENDING MYSELF OOPS

JAEHYUN BEING SO OLD MAN CODED. does he crack dad jokes… i feel like he would

skin products are such a scam honestly i’ve tried TOO MANY THINGS AT THIS POINT. people always say oh it goes away as you get older but some days i feel like it gets worse and worse. I LOVEEE GASLIGHTING MYSELF ABOUT MY ACNE I’LL BE LIKE… omg there wasn’t as much breakout as there was last week!!! it’s getting better and then the next week it breaks out even worse than before 💀💀 hopefully!! i am still trying my best to get rid of it 💪💪 💕💕
