It was slightly warmer this morning on campus (12ÂşC) so some of the frogs were out (they tend not to come out when it's colder than that).

Here's one of the two I found (the other was in a bad spot, photographically).

Help six devastated families in #Gaza!

Our weekly goal ensures that the families can rely on even a little support every week. And the emergencies are escalating, with displacement, life-threatening injury, flour now $750/bag.

So let's DO IT. 619/1900 by FRIDAY. https://chuffed.org/project/hope-giving-circle

Keep Hope Alive: a Gaza Giving Circle

We are a team of volunteers in the US and UK, led by two sisters passionate about helping our friends on the ground keep their families and neighbors alive with food, water, & shelter. We saw that their campaigns are extremely stagnant and wanted to find a way to direct steady help to them. We distribute your contributions equally every week for sustainable support.

This is what Mohammed is eating today. It costs him $15. Can anyone donate $15 to help his family of 5 eat even this much?

Three things that happened today:

- Benjamin Netanyahu’s governing coalition has fallen apart, leaving Netanyahu vulnerable to a vote of no confidence.

- Netanyahu’s corruption trial continued, having resumed on Monday after being delayed by a month by the attacks on Iran.

- Israel bombed Damascus, destroying its defense ministry headquarters.

- Oh would you fucking look at that, a fourth thing: Netanyahu’s trial was delayed again!

This absolute piece of shit will wage genocide, risk World War Three, and tear apart every neighboring country for the most venally corrupt reasons.

'What a Coincidence': Netanyahu Corruption Trial Adjourned as Israel Bombs Syria | Common Dreams

"Last month it was Iran, now Syria! All thanks to free U.S. military supplies," said one observer.

Probably a wasp #beetle - Clytus arietis - feeding on a flower while covered in pollen. (Not a wasp, just pretending to be one for defensive purposes!)
