As beloved by Australian humans as these pretty, purportedly friend-shaped creatures may be, they present quite a different face (and pair of fangs) to anything near their own weight class.

cockroach appreciation time!

a big and beautiful Blaberus giganteus seen in Costa Rica. I removed it from someone else’s cabin, and it posed nicely on a palm (after prickling me with its leg spines), then fluttered off into the jungle

a cockroach this size makes an audible thump when landing, a wonderful presence to these beasts

look at those big eyes almost meeting on top of the head!

day barely even started and I already had to hear "thank you for being our wives, sisters, aunts" and "keep being women and giving birth and being delicate unlike us men" as compliments for international women's day

This intriguing tigery beastie is currently listed as an undescribed species on Jürgen Otto's webpage; if we are fortunate, perhaps further individuals may yet be found and studied, and the livability of their habitat maintained.

It is Wednesday, January 21, 2026. Moatsem al-Sharafy was not the only thirteen year old boy killed by Israel today. Another, in Central Bureij refugee camp, was killed in a drone strike with his dad and another relative.

They were not the only family killed in Bureij refugee camp today. Three brothers in the camp were martyred by tank shelling.

Palestinian journalists Mohammed Salah Qeshta, Anas Ghunaim and Abdul Raouf Shaath were with Egyptian Relief Committee to film footage of refugee camps in Gaza strip. Israelis struck their car and killed them.

A 32 year old woman, the same age as many of my close friends, was also shot in Southern Gaza.

[closet-keys]

I focused on the story of Moatsem because I can't stop thinking about how many times that could have been my young friend Ahmed, going out for wood, water, food, or supplies to help his family. He is not that much older than Moatsem. He, too, wakes hungry. He, too, has a mother who worries over him.

Israel's attacks have often gotten very close to Ahmed's family. The deaths do not capture the extent of Israeli attacks, because they do not include those injured who survive. One of Ahmed's neighbors in a nearby tent is a survivor of today's attacks. This is how immediate the danger is.

[closet-keys]

@ahmedaldani333 and his family (verified on the @gazavetters list, #198) are living in a tent that has been subject to repeated flooding this winter. His family has been sick for weeks now. They thought it was the flu, but today Ahmed told me that they learned it is a virus that is spreading through these camps.

It is impossible to recover without funds for medicine, nutritious food, and clean water. Mourn the martyred people of Palestine. But please also do what you can to take care of those who are still trying to survive, especially the children.

[ahmedaldani333]

Please, friends, help us. We are sick with a severe, relentless flu caused by a virus spreading among the displaced people's tents here in Gaza. We are in pain and exhausted, and we need to buy medicine as soon as possible because the pain is getting worse. We are also cold and tired because our tent is torn, and the rain here is relentless and has completely soaked our bedding, making our illness and pain even more severe. Please help us by donating and don't leave us without help so we can repair our tent, buy medicine, and travel out of Gaza. Please donate to us.

[closet-keys]

Ahmed has endured more in his adolescence than any person should have to endure in their entire lives.

Please have compassion and donate what you can to give him relief from sickness, cold wet conditions, and the fear of attack by the genocidal military of Israel. He needs to heal, survive, and escape.
