Netherlands and the ocean, both blooming. Zoom in to see the tulips' colours on the land, and the phytoplankton swirl of blue & green in the sea. The tulips adorn vases around the world, and the phytoplankton (algae & bacteria) convert sunlight and CO2 into organic matter which sustains nearly all marine life. Life is beautiful. esa.int/ESA_Multimedia… image: @CopernicusEU 21 Apr 26

@mkeulemans Is er klimaatverandering nodig als argument? Er zijn toch nog wel meer steekhoudende argumenten bedenken? Vervuiling... Om maar wat te noemen. Kernenergie is relatief schoon?

Wonderlijk hoe de rechtsen die rond de eeuwwisseling nog luidkeels riepen dat er helemaal geen klimaatverandering ís, nu ineens roepen: waren we destijds nou maar kerncentrales gaan bouwen! 🙄

"I'm bored. Really wanna watch kids give birth." "Seeing little girls do the splits half naked is just.....I want to put myself in jail." "I'm going to jail over pizza." – Chrissy Teigen Now you understand why she deleted 60k posts and why the Epstein files mentioned the word "pizza" over 900x. When they show you who they are... Believe them.

Vrouwenhaat tiert welig in de wereld, ook in Australië. Vrouwen worden gedwongen een contract te tekenen, waarbij ze beloven geen protest aan te tekenen tegen een team dat met 5 biologische mannen (TiM's) in een vrouwen competitie spelen. Protest=diskwalificatie. 😥

@sappholives83 @tsb1897 Don't answer an agressive faceless man, @sappholives83

@tsb1897 As for “every redblooded male,” you couldn’t be more wrong.

You’re a woman who’s having migraines and blackouts. You’re afraid, worried, and it’s taken months to get an appointment with the neurologist in whose office you’re sitting, Dr. Jeffrey “Scott” Sloka. When Dr. Sloka comes in, the nurse leaves, which is weird, but you’re here for a neurology appointment, so you shrug it off. The doctor asks you some questions, and then he tells you he needs to do a vaginal exam and a breast exam. You don’t understand why, and he doesn’t explain. You want to refuse, but what if you make him angry? What if he refuses to continue the appointment? This is Canada; you waited for five months for this appointment, and your symptoms are getting worse — so you consent, even though you still don’t understand why he wants to examine you in this way. Once you’re undressed, Dr. Sloka begins the exam by telling you to remove your gown and stand completely naked with arms and legs spread. The nurse still hasn’t come back, but the doctor proceeds anyway. He says something about checking for lumps, but that doesn’t make any sense; he’s a neurologist, not an ob/gyn. Then you notice that he isn’t wearing gloves. During the breast exam, he touches you in ways that make you uncomfortable, and that are not a part of an ordinary breast exam. The vaginal exam is worse: the exam lasts an exceptionally long time, and the doctor inserts his ungloved fingers. The nurse still hasn’t returned. After the appointment, you feel dirty, soiled. You know deep down that you were assaulted, so eventually you work up the courage to file a report. It opens a floodgate. By the time the trial starts, Dr. Sloka has already lost his license, having pled guilty in front of the licensing board. He is facing 48 separate charges for the sexual abuse of his patients. Woman after woman testifies to this man’s inappropriate behavior. Multiple women testify that Dr. Sloka touched them inappropriately and intimately while not wearing gloves; they describe vaginal exams, rectal exams, and breast exams involving contact that had nothing to do with checking for lumps. An underage girl cries as she describes being pressured into a vaginal exam while her mother was banned from the room. 48 counts. 48 victims. 41 women and girls who took the stand to testify about the abuse they endured. And one more woman: the Crown’s key expert, Toronto neurologist Dr. Vera Bril. She testified that vaginal, rectal, and breast exams are “far outside our standard of practice,” and “far, far outside” of what neurologists typically do. She stated that these intimate exams were “not necessary” for treating or diagnosing the neurological issues presented by the victims. When the judge retires to deliberate, a conviction seems certain. Except that’s not what happens. The judge - Justice Craig Perry - discounts the testimony of all 42 women. He singles out Dr. Bril’s testimony in particular as suffering from “profound frailties,” and accused her of displaying “bias.” He dismisses the victims’ testimonies as well, citing “inconsistencies,” even though none of said “inconsistencies” touched in any way on ex-Dr. Sloka’s guilt. He accepts ex-Dr. Sloka’s claim that the assaults were medically necessary exams, even though Sloka admits to having performed many of them ungloved, and cannot explain what these exams had to do with any of his victims’ symptoms. In the end, Justice Craig Perry acquits ex-Dr. Jeffrey “Scott” Sloka on all 48 counts, choosing to believe a (male) defendant who had already admitted his guilt in front of the licensing board over 41 (female) victims and an expert (female) neurologist. And they say the patriarchy is dead.

@lovebirdlove @PieterOmtzigt 60% van de buitenlandse studenten verlaat NL binnen 5 jaar na afstuderen. Ik vermoed op langere termijn nog meer.

@PieterOmtzigt Achterhaald en stoffig jou theorie Studenten breng geld voor de Uni en economie Blijven vaak in NL hangen en dan hebben wij meer knappe koppen erbij noodzakelijk voor de ASLM’s en onze economie , anders gaat dat werk naar het buitenland wat al gebeurd conservatief idee Piet

Meer geld voor onderwijs en onderzoek begrijp ik Nog meer geld voor nog meer buitenlandse studenten? We weten toch welke effecten dat heeft Zie volgende tweet (1) x.com/ukrantgroninge…

@EsthervanFenema @VROUW @telegraaf Toevlucht tot het buitenland, of de zwarte markt: je kunt ook dit zien als een signaal van verharding. En misschien zelfs zorgmijding. Ík weet wat goed voor mij is en ík ga dat regelen. Ik wil niet praten, maar ik wil pillen. Iets technisch dat mijn probleem oplost. #complex

@Lindt please make the pistache on the box as small as the amount in the chocolate: 1,3% pistaziencreme. I love Lindor. But this has nothing to do with pistache...😓😓😥

@hecheateddotorg @AriDrennen They do. Look at the case of this woman from Poland. This is what you want: a sex inquisition where everyone accuses each other of being male for purity points. notesfrompoland.com/2024/08/12/the…

The “protect women’s sports” crowd has been using women athletes as props. Now a WNBA star is publicly telling them to stop. Brianna Turner: “Don’t use athletes like me to exclude others.”

After living through the Nazi & atomic bomb eras, Tove Jansson writings would often encompass fearful ideas about loss of a familiar world. However she would balance this with characters who displayed kindness & community, showing goodness even in the darkest times #BookArtWeek

@jorgleijten @Deta132 @SexMattersOrg @SportSEENuk @WomensRightsNet @sharrond62 @PinchesLynne Eerlijkheid in sport nastreven heeft niets met transhaat te maken. Ik ben tegen biologische mannen in vrouwensport omdat het vrouwen minder kans geeft. Haat ik daarom trans? Helemaal niet. Waarom zou ik? Eerlijke kansen voor iedereen. Een man bij de vrouwen is geen eerlijke kans.

@Deta132 @SexMattersOrg @SportSEENuk @WomensRightsNet @sharrond62 @PinchesLynne This aint common sense. This a result of your transhating crusade against Noa-Lynn van Leuven. It's a shame the PDC has such weak knees.

Resolution at last , I'm drained by all this but commonsense prevails thanks to all who supported me @SexMattersOrg @SportSEENuk @WomensRightsNet @sharrond62 @PinchesLynne special thanks to my partner Paul who got me through the tough times .
