I struggle with my #settler heritage, but I do admire a great many things about my #scottish side. Both my #paternal great grandparents emigrated from #scotland. They were brave, tough people, and I know I inherited a lot of their stubborn determination.
I've always loved the #bagpipes, and hope to see Scotland one day.
Alba gu bràth!
Happy #standrewsday to all who celebrate.
"Post-spawning care of nonbrooded embryos in the #Colossendeidae is an exciting finding..it may represent an evolutionarily intermediate strategy between free-spawning & the #paternal brooding exhibited by most other groups of sea spiders..mating stacks of more than two individuals also raise interesting questions about the potential for male competition for #fertilization..more detailed observations & identification of the sex of individuals in mating groups are needed"

Once again, I am one of the great throat-clearers. I take after my father in this regard...
@tanweerdar
The truth is I have no
#Paternal or parental bone in
My body. My parenting skills
Are imperfect, inadequate, &
Made up on the fly. I don’t need
An invented commercial day to
Celebrate how hard we work to
Make this family function as
Well as it can. All we want
Is for all the others to be happy.
Sometimes it works, & often
It doesn’t & hurts instead.
What I really want is to be a
Person who cares, not a parent
Put into some compartment that
Says old & tired & past it.
#MastoPrompt
they once knew a man
who tried being paternal
it did not end well

A widowed father
Eternal admiration
Paternal courage
Seeking #paternal guidance, I see no #affable old man.
I see an active force of creation with the power of #storm and #lightning, knowing itself as #one with the maternal might of beingness.
This is my #beginning.

After having done a PhD about #paternal #care in new world monkey, this first paper of my postdoc started 20 years of long-term studies on striped mice #Rhabdomys pumilio.
For me it was most important to show that in this species paternal care also occurs in the field, not only in the lab!

A solas, piden que le compartamos nuestras #reflexiones porque "quiero mejorarme" y necesitan de nosotras. Cuando lo que quieren es una #esclava pensante que le facilite su #discurso pseudo #feminista para mimetizarse mejor.
Aprovechan nuestros #cuestionamientos sobre el #amor #romántico para #explotarnos sexualmente y justificar sus libertades de puto conciente.
Proponen "relaciones no convencionales" porque "somos especiales" y así justifican su #abandono #emocional, #sexual y #paternal.
