In den ersten drei Monaten dieses Jahres hat die Bundesregierung laut einem Medienbericht mehr als 4.700 Abschiebungen verzeichnet. Im Vorjahresvergleich ist das eine Steigerung von mehr als 30 Prozent. Viele geplante Rückführungen seien jedoch gescheitert.
Greater spotted #eagles changed their #migration routes to avoid the Ukraine war.
'researchers believe the Greater Spotted Eagles skirted around dangers including artillery fire, jets and tanks as well as buildups of troops.'
...
'The findings reveal they made large deviations from their previously tracked routes. They also spent less time stopping at their usual refuelling sites in Ukraine or avoided them entirely.
'As a result, they traveled farther, about an extra 52 miles (85km) on average.'
Just like whenever a Scot has his pounds sterling refused in an English shop, and there's always another Scot that magically appears to object: "Ehh I think you'll find that's legal tender!"...there's a similar phenomenon in Linux where whenever a conversation is held about moving to Linux from another platform, usually Windows, there invariably appears one of the .00001% of users who requires Adobe or some other insanely specific use-case software that Linux doesn't (yet) cater to. "I'd love to move, BUT...."
Linux: great for 98% of use-cases but holy good gravy you'll hear about that last 2% every time you dare mention it. Do these people have alerts set up for conversations like these? How do they keep finding them??? Would be nice to read at least one where folks are generally "Linux is great for most users".
NB: thanks for not commenting on my extremely unscientific illustrative percentages.
Been adding more #autoethnography to teaching & this piece caught my eye. However not sure when I'll be able to read, seems like such a gut-punch:
"intergenerational relationships & #transnational#care shaped by global #migration & aging. I reflect on the dynamics of my relationship with my mother, beginning with my departure from my home & spanning a period of 40 years. I contemplate theoretical models of intergenerational solidarity, ambivalence, & role ambiguity..."
My husband and I are on our annual spring #camping trip to enjoy the bird #migration. There have been so many fabulous tropical #birds who have come through southern #Wisconsin southern far this year. This Wood Thrush, one of my favorite species, has been serenading our campsite for over an hour. #birding#birdwatching#nature
Migranten aus dem Senegal: "Nichts funktioniert in diesem Land"
Die Zahl der Menschen aus Westafrika, die nach Europa aufbrechen, ist deutlich gestiegen. Sie wollen nicht nur der Armut entfliehen, sondern auch dem Gefühl der Perspektivlosigkeit. Von K. Küstner.
Migrant care workers are being betrayed by the tied-visa system that bought them to the UK... when sponsors are striped of their license, it tis the care workers who are effectively punished - forcing them into a precarious race for alternate employment.
This is just one part of a national political hypocrisy on 'economic migration'... we want/need workers to fill posts, but some just want to punish them for coming here;
@genchat@genchat I highly recommend 'By faith alone : one family's epic journey through 400 years of American Protestantism'
by Bill Griffeth. In fact the whole series by Bill Griffeth, as he covers US migration from Europe and the #DNA aspects too. It's a great resource if you are not directly concerned with US #migration.
Flüchtlinge in Irland: Sunaks Asylpolitik verprellt Dublin
Der harte Kurs der britischen Regierung gegen Migranten wirkt sich auch auf Irland aus. Denn viele Flüchtlinge ziehen von Großbritannien dorthin weiter. Muss London sie zurücknehmen? Davon will Premier Sunak nichts wissen. Von F. Hoppen.
