At this point, climate change deniers should be treated like flat-earthers. What more evidence would a reasonable person need?

Annual reminder of how many days there are in each month.

Mnemonic

Thirty days hath September,
April, June and November.
Unless a leap year is its fate,
February hath twenty-eight.
All the rest hath three days more,
excepting January,
which hath six thousand,
one hundred and eighty-four.

Our astronomers have discovered something never seen before in space - a mysterious shock wave surrounding a white dwarf star. Read more: tr.ee/T2K834 @russellgroup.bsky.social @spacesouthcentral.bsky.social @engineering-soton.bsky.social @eso.org

A vast starry sky with a white dwarf star glowing brightest in the centre. The star's radiant glow contrasts with the dense backdrop of smaller, twinkling stars scattered across the dark expanse.

Professor Christian Knigge in a red shirt and glasses sits at a desk, smiling and looking at the camera. Behind them, a large computer monitor displays a colourful, close up image of how a star looks in space. Another monitor shows a text-based interface. The room has a window with a blurred snowy landscape outside.

If you find🎄 hard due to grief,trauma,family stuff,wonky self esteem,neurodivergence &/or an urge to throw Christmas down the loo, become a reclusive pagan & maybe make a small hat out of mistletoe at a push,then hi,me too.Here are some good twigs & I’m sending gentle thoughts. It’s only a few days🌿

A small reminder, especially if you struggle with low mood in the winter, that this is just 8 or 9 weeks away, fewer in some cases 👇🏼🌱🌱

Today is World Listening Day so it's a good time to share this again...

An underlined quote in a book that reads as follows…

“The biggest communication
problem is we do not listen to
understand. We listen to reply.

– Stephen R. Covey”

And I feel it is important to mention here that I was not the one that highlighted this quote (because I’m not a monster). Again, just to reiterate, I, Adam Sharp, do not, now or ever, go around highlighting passages in books like some kind of savage.
