We’re sorry, but we will not be able to post updates to our social media channels during the government shutdown. All National Archives events–virtual or in person–are canceled until further notice. We will be unable to reply to messages or emails until the government reopens.
Years ago I drew a few leafhoppers for an exercise at school. These are still the most popular thing I have ever posted on the internet. So I drew some more and made a poster. These little guys are very fun! finding all their scientific names was a pain though!
“Shadow and light are the most stable and perfect tools of creation: they unite colors, shapes, and dimensions,” says Moldovan artist Sergiu Ciochină, adding that “shadows move us through diversity, enhancing our perception, while light fills us with the joy of discovery.” In saturated hues, he captures dappled sunlight as it filters through the trees and the rich tones of the golden hour as it casts deep bluish-purple shade onto the sides of houses.
Taking cues from the Impressionists, Ciochină focuses on the nuances of light and its ability to reveal outlines and forms. He works in thick, impasto oil paint on board, emphasizing the shapes of windows, doors, and stoops and transforming otherwise ordinary buildings into compositions glowing with the patterns of foliage, architectural angles, and the texture of brushstrokes. “The symbiosis I create between nature and architecture is intended to evoke a love for space,” he says.

Shireen Abu Akleh (1971 – 2022) was a prominent Palestinian-American journalist who worked as a reporter for 25 years for Al Jazeera, before she was killed by an Israeli soldier while wearing a blue press vest and covering a raid on the Jenin refugee camp in the Israeli-occupied West Bank.
The IOF deliberately shot at her and murdered her on May 11, 2022, after which they repeatedly denied it being an intentional attack and refused to launch a criminal investigation. During her funeral, israeli police attacked pallbearers with batons and stun grenades as well as invaded the hospital in which the funeral was held, attacking and wounding patients and medical workers.
Abu Akleh’s funeral was attended by tens of thousands of people, thought to be the largest Palestinian funeral in Jerusalem for over two decades.
On October 28, 2023, an iof bulldozer destroyed the memorial for Abu Akleh in Jenin as well as razed the entire street where she was fatally shot.

Hello everyone,
We are the Anas family, a fam… ANAS MOHESEN needs your support for ANAS family from Gaza,Help Us Rebuild Wha
🇵🇸 save family lost their home ,dreams and everything in Gaza 🇵🇸
This is my home before the war and after the war how it became💔💔💔
Before: After:
💔 I never thought I’d write something like this…
But we’ve truly lost everything.
We had a simple home — nothing fancy — but it was ours.
Filled with laughter, memories, and years of hard work.
Then, in one moment, it was all gone.
Our home was bombed. Reduced to rubble.
Since then, we’ve been moving from place to place.
No stability. No privacy. No safety.
Just trying to survive each day.
We also lost our jobs. Our source of income. Our sense of normal life.
We’re not living — we’re barely getting by.
This isn’t easy to share.
But we’re asking, with all humility, for your help.
We are asking you with all shame to support and stand by us in these difficult circumstances that everyone knows because we lost our home, our work and any stable source of income. Thank you all.
We have been through many wars before, but this war was not like the ones before it. Our lives were turned upside down. We became displaced from one place to another. We are the Anas family, residents of northern Gaza, specifically in the Shujaiya area. In the first week of the war, we fled our home because everyone considered our home to be in a dangerous area. We moved to the Rimal area, specifically in the middle of Gaza. There, we received the news that our home, which contained all our beautiful memories, was bombed. Suddenly, it was gone!!! Just thinking that your home, which you worked hard on and built from scratch and took a lot of your life, was gone in less than a second ! After a while, we left the sands to the Al-Zawaida area because of the heavy shelling. We stayed there for about two weeks, and then the terrorist army asked us to go to Rafah. We actually fled for the fourth time to Rafah and stayed there for two months, some of the most difficult days of our lives, as there was no way or means to live a normal life. 😔😔
Please, we are in dire need of you and your support. If you cannot donate, you can share☹️❤️🥹
