Until the end of everything at all

Hello hello hello lovely humans, How are you today ?

I just wanted to tell you a little story. Almost 8 years ago I saw this video : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I_Od0PJp6GI. White Blank Page is a wonderful song by Mumford and Sons. It’s a song that I play when I struggle to fall asleep or when feel anxious ( Sigh no More, is a MASTERPIECE. Go listen to this album, it’s GREAT I swear. I’d take it with me on a desert island - if desert islands had electricity & a cd player.)

ANYWAY

I saw the video & I thought “ wow, this song is marvellous” & then “WOW THIS IS THE COOLEST THING EVER. A beautiful song AND BOOKS”

& then I told myself “One day I will play some of my songs surrounded by BOOKS in a lovely bookstore”

Here is little old me playing an original song in the most amazing bookstore in front of a lovely crowd.

Using our unique ability to view Earth from space, we are working together with NOAA to monitor an emerging success story – the shrinking ozone hole over Antarctica.

Thirty years ago, the nations of the world agreed to the landmark ‘Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer.’ The Protocol limited the release of ozone-depleting chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) into the atmosphere.

Since the 1960s our scientists have worked with NOAA researchers to study the ozone layer. 

We use a combination of satellite, aircraft and balloon measurements of the atmosphere.

The ozone layer acts like a sunscreen for Earth, blocking harmful ultraviolet, or UV, rays emitted by the Sun.

In 1985, scientists first reported a hole forming in the ozone layer over Antarctica. It formed over Antarctica because the Earth’s atmospheric circulation traps air over Antarctica.  This air contains chlorine released from the CFCs and thus it rapidly depletes the ozone.

Because colder temperatures speed up the process of CFCs breaking up and releasing chlorine more quickly, the ozone hole fluctuates with temperature. The hole shrinks during the warmer summer months and grows larger during the southern winter. In September 2006, the ozone hole reached a record large extent.

But things have been improving in the 30 years since the Montreal Protocol. Thanks to the agreement, the concentration of CFCs in the atmosphere has been decreasing, and the ozone hole maximum has been smaller since 2006’s record.

That being said, the ozone hole still exists and fluctuates depending on temperature because CFCs have very long lifetimes. So, they still exist in our atmosphere and continue to deplete the ozone layer.

To get a view of what the ozone hole would have looked like if the world had not come to the agreement to limit CFCs, our scientists developed computer models. These show that by 2065, much of Earth would have had almost no ozone layer at all.

Luckily, the Montreal Protocol exists, and we’ve managed to save our protective ozone layer. Looking into the future, our scientists project that by 2065, the ozone hole will have returned to the same size it was thirty years ago.

Hermione had taken his hand again and was gripping it tightly. He could not look at her, but returned the pressure, now taking deep, sharp gulps of the night air, trying to steady himself, trying regain control. He should have brought something to give them, and he had not thought of it, and every plant in the graveyard was leafless and frozen. But Hermione raised her wand, moved it in a circle through the air and a wreath of Christmas roses blossomed before them. Harry caught it and laid it on his parents’ grave.

I didn’t know there was a meme thing involving Bucky and Sam Wilson running. Like, here’s the source (which is a behind-the-scenes screenshot that’s been around for awhile)

BUT THEN THERE’S THESE WORKS OF ART

LIKE, FUCKIN STAR WARS

RANDOM JACK SPARROW

OH HEY, ASSASSIN’S CREED REFERENCE

ROCKYYYYY (dun dun dunnnnn dun dun dunnnn)

MAD MAX (that moment when those two might actually be more interesting as main characters than Mad Max himself)

AND FINALLY, GHOSTBUSTERS!
