@Aseelsehwel @palestine It's an account with 1. no followers;2. no follows.It's someone who does not engage with the community, has no influence, and only seeks to make trouble. Report it, block it, and forget it (although your very courteous and dignified reply to this troll does you credit).I will not be able to help you this week, I'm afraid. I have limited money and the number of people needing support is large.

    @Aseelsehwel@mas.to @aseelsehwel@blog.gaza.onl @palestine thank you for sharing. I wish that you were not condemned to be a hero, but I am glad that you are there, to whisper to those children that they are not alone. You are not alone, either. We hear you, and we honour you, as one who has had the cloak of heroism forced on you, but yet has chosen to stand up under the weight of it. Keep whispering to the children.

    @wonderofscience the folding of beetle wings fascinates me. I assume it's done by pumping fluids in and out of vascular canals in the wings, but the deployment part is easy. Engineering the wings so that they will fit precisely under the (much smaller) wing cases strikes me as a much harder problem. And yet all the species of beetle, with all their differently shaped wing cases, do it apparently reliably. Evolution is astonishing!
