Highly recommend the Top Line hop festival! Great to tour the hop harvesting facility, and then hang out in the hop vines drinking beer. Beervana indeed 🍺🍺

Anyone catch our BOYCOTT CHEVRON banner hanging over I5 today in Portland? @srti.bsky.social & @xrpdx.bsky.social are there to spread the word that Chevron provides a majority of power to Israel and profits greatly from Palestinian genocide.

#BoycottChevron #BDS #FreePalestine
Three scientists standing on a freeway overpass bridge wearing labcoats. The labcoats are decorated with logos and messaging from Scientist Rebellion. One has their back to the camera and raised fist. Another wears a tshirt saying "Let Gaza Live" and is holding a sign that says "Starvation is a WAR CRIME - CHEVRON complicit in Genocide". Behind them on the chainlink fence is a Palestinian flag and a poster that says "together we have POWER, Boycott Chevron". You can also see the canvas back of a banner facing oncoming traffic that says BOYCOTT CHEVRON. Chevron supplies 70% of Israeli power, thus enabling the genocide of Palestinians (in addition to wrecking the climate). This banner in Portland OR was part of a day-long action involving anti-Chevron banners over Interstate 5 from California to Washington state.

I'm taking Portuguese lessons (because samba) and it is so wonderful to learn new things that are not directly related to the shitshow du jour. I highly recommend that activists find something to learn that simply brings joy. I fight for what I love. Building new beautiful things is potent fuel 🔥❤️🇧🇷
Portland samba band Bloco Alegria performing on the zoo stage. A row of tall drums stands in the front, and at least a dozen musicians wearing green shirts and white pants stand in a row behind them. On the right is a bank of speakers, and on the left a man conducting the band stands with his arms raised and his back to the audience.

TIL that in Brazil the number of air kisses someone gives in greetings depends on where they're from and that is just so charming and wholesome

I was proud to be part of at least a dozen scientists joining in from @srti.bsky.social along with folks from @oilgasaction.bsky.social and the Gulf Coast to SHUT DOWN WELLS FARGO in San Francisco today, part of #$topBillionaireSummer #ScienceWeek.

#GoodTrouble
A dozen scientists wearing lab coats emblazoned with the Scientist Rebellion logo are standing in front of the Wells Fargo bank headquarters in San Francisco on August 15th, 2025. They are carrying a banner saying "$top Billionaires Summer #OutOfTheLab #ScientistRebellion". Behind them, yellow caution tape wrapped around the building columns says "DANGER - Climate and Human Rights Destruction Ahead"

Yesterday we went down to Palo Alto and took a message to Palantir. It was scary to do this without hiding my identity! But we need to normalize standing up and speaking out.

Two people standing in a plaza with trees and a brick and glass building in the background housing the company Palantir. They are wearing labcoats emblazoned with the Scientist Rebellion logo and holding signs saying "Starvation is a WAR CRIME", "Palantir complicit in genocide", "I am a scientist and I am terrified", and "Palantir powers ICE". Another poster has a graphic of Palantir founder Peter Theil with "Resist the Oilygarch, Tax the Rich".

A street scene in San Fransisco showing the Tesla dealership. Two people in labcoats stand with with their backs to the camera and raising their middle fingers to the building.

Bach to Bach double header season opener from Chamber Music Northwest with all the Brandenburg concertos is just as amazing as you could imagine. Transcendental and so moving. And a lovely picnic between the shows on the Reed quad with friends, a lovely respite from *all this*

A sea of red showing up today to support the Multnomah County office of sustainability in this budget fight. A better world is possible and this is the roadmap for bringing climate justice to Portland

Multnomah county has an amazing climate justice program, created by some of those who are threatened most by the effects of climate change. The county is planning to cut this amazing program entirely as a way to manage budget deficits. Join us to push back on this outrageous plan.
