I'm feeling a lot of shame right now.

I could use some advice or support.

My husband and I both have ADHD. We really struggle to keep up with cleaning our home. My parents weren't great cleaners when I was a kid either, so I get stressed sometimes because I don't know how to handle various things around our home.

My husband told me a couple weeks ago that his mom was over at our house, and she told him we "don't deserve to be homeowners." This comment really cut me to the core. I have a pretty good relationship with my MIL overall which is what makes it hurt that much worse. But she is an insanely clean person, and she really can't stand any kind of mess. I try to remind myself of this, that her standards are really high. I keep hearing that comment in my head and I feel like a piece of shit.

I really want to clean up my house but I have so much shame around it that it's so hard to motivate myself to do it. It's not like I live in a hoarder house or anything... But my house is messy enough that I am embarrassed to have people over most or the time.

Just needed to vent a little. Thanks for reading.

Sources to learn about recent evolutionary discoveries?

I grew up in an evangelical household and went to a Christian school where they only taught creationism (and a little “micro evolution” but not much).

It’s been many years since I left Christianity but I never really re-schooled myself on all the science I missed out on. I started watching some YouTube videos, and while they’re very informative, I realized they’re about 10 years old. I got to thinking there have probably been a lot of scientific discoveries in the last 10 years. So I googled “recent evolutionary discoveries” and the amount of info that came up was overwhelming.

What’s a good source that I could focus on to learn about discoveries over the last decade or two?
