At 72, my mother graduated from law school.

This summer, alone in her study, she took her exams online. She was notified last month that she passed Barrister. We just got word today that she passed Solicitor!!!

In January, she'll be called to the bar ♥️

TAKE THAT 2020!

I object to this chart, because it turns out that the reconstruction of a single location based on an ice core drilled 40 years ago in Greenland that ends in 1885 is not a good representation of global temperatures. If we use hundreds of sites and proxy records worldwide we get:
