#ParentalAlienation

DuckRabbit @duckrabbitpro.bsky.social · Nov 18

Parental Alienation is real.

There are quite some accounts on here repeating the same mantra that PA is junk science abused by abusive fathers to paint women as hysterical monsters

And those characterisations are bullshit

Which inadvertently means we have *another* way to support whale population growth: maybe we can “imitate” whale poop!

The global whaling industry experienced a boom c. 1840-1950 as technology allowed whalers to hunt the Southern Ocean around Antarctica.

Under standard models, we would have expected krill populations to have *exploded*.

Instead, they DROPPED exponentially.

Let's talk about the KRILL PARADOX.

Change in distribution and abundance of southern right whales. (A) Shows historical and contemporary wintering distributions (Figure 1 from Carroll et al., 2018), and (B) shows decline in abundance and subsequent recovery (solid line is the mean, dashed line shows upper and lower 95% CI). Modified Figure 1 from Jackson et al. (2008). Contemporary sightings are divided into regions where large aggregations are seen during winter: Argentina (ARG), Brazil (BZL), South Africa (SAF), southwest Australia (SWA), south central Australia (SCA), and New Zealand sub-Antarctic (NZSA) and regions where sightings are typically of small numbers of individuals per year. The large aggregations are IWC management units and correspond to historical whaling grounds, although another 5 whaling grounds show little sign of recovery. Summer feeding areas are poorly described and so not shown.

Fun fact la personne qui a posté ça a du utiliser une image générée par IA car elle ne dispose d'aucune photo de sa famille à table (plus personne ne lui parle depuis 25 ans)

Une image IA moche sur "les règles du repas familial d'autrefois"

A l'époque, le repas en famille avait ses règles sacrées
- On attendait que papa soit assis pour commencer
- Pas de coudes sur la table, jamais
- Ou finissait son assiette avant le dessert
- Les enfants parlaient seulement si on leudemandait
- On débarrassait sans qu'on nous le dise
- Le portable n'existait pas, on se regardait
- Maman servait toujours les autres en premier
- On disait "merci" et "s'il te plaît" naturellement

Ik heb een probleem met “veiligheid” als thema, wanneer “veiligheid” betekent dat bepaalde *daders* van geweld (extreemrechts, boeren, racisten,…) niet benoemd mogen worden, en geweld tégen minderheden wordt toegedekt!

After two years of unimaginable loss and suffering for Israeli families and the people of Gaza, we should all be encouraged and relieved that an end to the conflict is within sight; that those hostages still being held will be reunited with their families; and that vital aid can start reaching those inside Gaza whose lives have been shattered. More than that, though, it now falls on Israelis and Palestinians, with the support of the U.S. and the entire world community, to begin the hard task of rebuilding Gaza- and to commit to a process that, by recognizing the common humanity and basic rights of both peoples, can achieve a lasting peace.

Israelis have families, but Palestinians apparently don't.
2. Israelis are named as Israelis, but Palestinians are just "people".
3. It's apparently a conflict, not an occupation, siege or genocide,
17 Israeli soldiers enforcing a murderous siege on Gaza are apparently hostages, not prisoners of war.
5. Bothsidesing the perpetrators and victims of a genocide.
You are toxic, Mr. Obama, one of the greatest disappointments of our generation.

Ik ben het ook helemaal eens met besluit van @voltnederland.org. Vind het ook een slechte keus van NOS. Een extreemrechtse partij uitnodigen gaat al ver, en dan ook nog in debat over klimaat waar ze alle feiten ontkennen? Dat is geen debat, dat is zendtijd voor maatschappelijk schadelijke leugens.

Iedereen die vindt dat Volt met FvD zou moeten debatteren (over klimaat in dit geval) moet even de definitie

Amerikaanse professor in antifa-onderzoek tijdlang geblokkeerd op luchthaven na doodsbedreigingen

De Amerikaanse historicus Mark Bray, verbonden aan Rutgers University en bekend om zijn onderzoek naar antifascisme, werd woensdagavond op het laatste moment verhinderd om met zijn gezin naar Spanje te vliegen. De annulering van hun vlucht kwam enkele uren nadat president Donald Trump een rondetafelgesprek hield over de impact van antifa-activisme.

C’est un analogue des voix d’extrême droite qui, depuis les années ‘90, disent vouloir défendre « la liberté d’expression », alors que *leur* version de la liberté d’expression est une version fasciste, qui autorise le harcèlement jusqu’à ce que les expressions des minorités soient éliminées.

Sa version rêvée des Sciences Sociales est donc un mirage, qui est impossible à atteindre, et n’est qu’une excuse afin d’attaquer les sciences sociales elles-mêmes, tel qu’elles existent. Et de les remplacer par des pseudosciences ethnocentristes.
