In somewhat good news, today the state department website has changed the answer to this question to defer to ICAO policy. Sources still tell me that there is some appetite for invalidation/reversion of passports issued under the injunction, but this message will be welcome to many trans people.

Glad to see community members in my county getting activated against this proposed data center.
(And grateful to @decaturish.bsky.social, without which I wouldn’t know a thing about it.)

Always exciting to find a class of arthropods I didn't know existed living in my yard-a quasi-centipede of class Symphyla, genus Hanseniella seen in dirt under a brick. Grateful to the whole #iNaturalist community for making these discoveries accessible to so many. #bugsky #inverts #macrophotography

I don't usually spend time photographing ants, not because they aren't cool but because they hardly ever stop moving!
This one (I think Camponatus subbarbatus) was tending aphids (sp?) on burnweed (Erechtites hieraciifolius), and I managed decent shots of both. #bugsky #inverts #macrophotography

Happy #flyday! Here is an eight-spotted tumbling flower beetle, Hoshihananomia octopunctata from July of this year.
If you look closely you can see I caught it excreting out a little clear ball. Don’t know if that is waste or a waxy secretion it will spread on its body.

Breaking my streak of never posting about work...
During class yesterday, a student used AI to make a simulator for the experimental technique we were discussing (ITC). I was impressed and asked him to send it to me. This morning I looked at the actual product; it was utter nonsense.

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.
Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

Tiny Oregon Lady Beetle, Hippodamia oregonensis, seen on a flower high on a ski slope in Colorado this past July. This species seems to only inhabit high altitude habitats. #bugsky #insects #macrophotography #bloomscrolling

Masked #bee I saw today. She is bubbling to concentrate the slurry of nectar and pollen collected from the last few goldenrods and carried internally. She will leave a glob of this with each egg laid in a nest that she makes watertight by secreting a polymer coating. #insects #macrophotography

Some goth flies from last weekend to wrap up #flyday. Tachinid fly Juriniopsis adjusta and the appealingly named Wavy Mucksucker (Orthonevra nitida).
