A desert millipede in New Mexico. I rarely saw these when I was growing up, but now they're common in the White Rock Canyon area of Los Alamos County. Curiously, this species was kept as pets in Europe awhile back. They're harmless to humans (though they'll munch on your fingers) and I find them endearing.
At an event for #NewMexico Congresswoman Teresa Leger Fernandez. She just gave a bang up speech focusing on the Trump regime’s effort to make women second class citizens and how we can fight back. Teresa gave a special shout out to the #HandsOff rally in #SantaFe.

The dog days of August are officially here.
The lower right corner shows Sirius, the dog star in morning twilight. That signifies the start of the dog days.
Jupiter and Venus are left of center. Orion is upper right quadrant.

80 years ago today, the US dropped Fat Man, the plutonium-powered implosion bomb, on Nagasaki, Japan. I'm visiting Los Alamos, where the bomb was built, and today saw this replica at the lab's Bradbury Science Museum. LANL is now building replacement plutonium pits at TA-55. Heavy thoughts.

Back in New Mexico for a couple weeks. Here's a nursing bighorn sheep, a rufous hummingbird, a sphinx moth gathering nectar, and a still life with Big Milly the millipede, named to contrast with a beetle my kid called Little Billy a couple weeks ago.

NM #primaryschool students will take the “#AI enhanced” Amira reading test (replacing iStation). When asked how the AI will be able to correctly compute #newcomer accents, speech impediments, etc. to accurately determine #student #fluency and placement, the trainer - I kid you not - opened up the Amira AI chat to ask it how it worked. It received a very confident answer about using multiple measures. This happened in front of my actual eyeballs. #education #elementary #newmexico #assessment
