#Helene is steadily becoming better organized this afternoon as deep convective bands begin encircling the center in more symmetric fashion than previously. Buoy 42056 reveals a sharp pressure fall, with central pressure likely 993-994mb now. An inner core max wind band may not yet be well-developed, but will likely follow in the near-future. The timing of the inner core formation is tied to the timing of peak intensification rates.
These trends suggest that Helene is beginning to take advantage of an increasingly favorable environment as it approaches the Yucatan Channel, and risks to northern #Florida and southern #Georgia are growing. Hurricane Warnings have been issued, including inland portions of the Florida Panhandle. Hurricane Watches extend into inland Georgia. With a high-end storm surge and wind event expected, hopefully residents are taking this storm seriously.
Every few years, thousands of people are surprised to learn that I am a fan of Taylor Swift.
1. I am a fan of Taylor Swift. I have been since I first heard Speak Now in 2010.
2. I love Taylor Swift's music and lyrics. You don't have to. But I get to.
3. I love the Taylor Swift fandom. Again, you don't have to. But I get to.
4. Making your whole identity disliking something/someone is weird and a bit sad.
5. TTPD is excellent and I love listening to it. The writing is so, so good.
6. Gentle reminder that I delete almost all of my tweets after a few minutes.
I spent the week conferring with my students, and it was time well spent. So many students said they appreciated the check in. One interesting note: many students shared they struggle with concentration - hard to sustain focus when reading and writing.
As a scholar of Am Christianity, I’ve been observing Beth Moore closely for years. I used to think we had little in common. But despite differences, we ended up seeing the same things. She lived it, I saw it over & over again in the sources. https://t.co/0XFjR8Nd5o
95% of relationship issues are actually communication issues. Learning to directly express your needs, and to understand the needs of another is a massively underrated life skill.
@LOTRonPrime I will definitely be counting down the hours Thursday night to midnight! Being able to stream when it first drops is worth losing a few hours of sleep! #TheRingsOfPowerGiveaway
Being a committed teacher does not mean being available or working 24/7. This weekend take time to -
step away from work
breathe
rest
enjoy family and friends
play
This does not make you less of a teacher; in fact, it will most likely make you a better one. #StopTeacherGuilt
@tatereeves This is insulting to the intelligence of Mississippians who will directly benefit from this break in student debt. We didn't go to Harvard for fancy degrees. We are teachers, nurses, and engineers: regular people who help the state function.
@Cowbell_Cobra@stephbarber1227 Oh, absolutely! In fact, I was just trapped in Walmart during a rainstorm bc I was out of Diet Coke and didn’t want to wait. It was worth it.
