More than 60% of the global population that are classified as the Phase 5 famine/catastrophe level of food insecurity and starvation are in the Gaza Strip right now, and that percentage is projected to increase to 95% by Februrary

if you are unable to donate financially to help palestine, you can donate your time by protesting, boycotting, and putting up posters!

if all you have is your device and internet access, you can put your clicks to good use on arab.org. they use the advertising revenue generated by your clicks to help good causes.

and i would urge those able to spare a few dollars to donate to one or more of the following organizations:

eSims for Gaza

Direct aid for Gaza

Care for Gaza

Women for Women International

Institute for Middle East Understanding

Medical Aid for Palestinians

Palestine Children Relief Fund

Muslim Aid USA

Palestinian American Medical Association

Urgent support for medical professionals in Gaza

Emergency Relief for Gaza

weevils being a popular species on tiktok is wild as hell to me. like i saw someone using this weevil design i made forever ago as a profile picture. Like Theres a market for this? I thought this was just a me thing

#worm rambles #also i got quite a few purchases of stickers for that design but only recently lol #which does mean this is a real thing and im not just on a weird side of tiktok #13 yo me would have been thrilled #(16 year old me is currently thrilled)

thinking about weevil photonic crystal structures...

Weevils (such as Pachyrhynchus genera) have evolved epidermal cells that can produce colour through opal-like arrangements of packed spheres, forming a three-dimensional photonic crystalline structure.

cute iNaturalist observations:

“hey! that’s me!”

[bugsaremypassion]

i posted a tiny drab moth to inaturalist and someone pipped it right to species

and i was like, hmm, from hanging out with mothologists i got the impression that most tiny drab moths need to be under the microscope to be IDed to species instead of being left at genus or even just family level, this guy might be winging it, i should get out my field guide and check

ah
