This and music. Always music. Local college brass band. A playlist your kid made on Spotify. Volunteers from your neighbor's church choir on a Sunday afternoon after services. The Machine must obviously be Raged Against but you can Mariachi against it too sometimes. Sometimes that's what you need.

YES!! More T Rexes, more frogs, more Pikachus. Let’s fill the streets with inflated friends. Let’s fill the streets with defiant JOY!

A day in the Portland war zone

The Portland War Zone isn't for everyone but at least the chaos is locally sourced.

I have been ok with NONE OF
IT, which is why I shout STAND UP TO TYRANTS! from the overpass.

We were back at BWI Airport today for Avelo Takedown 2 with our boycott Avelo message! We danced even harder than last time against Avelo and their ICE flights. Lots of drivers honked and waved their support! #AveloOutOfBWI

THIS IS THE WAY.

Everyone gets their knickers in a twist when I say we can’t sci-comm our way out of this mess…but maybe you’ll listen to the more eloquent and measured @edyong209.bsky.social!

This isn’t happening because people don’t appreciate the brilliance of the double helix structure.

Science Vs @sciencevs.bsky.social · 7d

This moment from our latest episode with science writer @edyong209.bsky.social is 🔥

We asked Ed — how do we talk up the benefits of science in the face of government cuts? He told us that's the wrong approach. 🧪

In my overpass protest work, my main helper is a lovely soft-spoken 90+yo man who carefully holds the letters in place while I attach them to the fencing. We make quite the pair. I couldn’t do this work without him.

Magical home of tardigrades. Nursery for lightning bug babies. Used for bandages during the U.S. Civil War when cotton was in short supply. (Seriously, Sphagnum mosses are amazing.) THE LIST GOES ON.

MOSS.

Did I mention climate change superhero MOSS? Seriously. Check out peat bogs. Moss and carbon storage. Motherfrickin’ MOSS.

Beautiful moss babies, probably from the Pacific Northwest.

Soft on the toes, easy on the eyes MOSS.

Boycotts must become a foundation of the resistance.

We need to withdraw our dollars not just from specific companies (Amazon, Target, Starbucks, Disney, Meta, Tesla, etc) but from corporate consumer capitalism more broadly.

Thrift, shop local & from small online retailers, repair and grow things…

People who appreciate the intoxicating euphoria of reading from a real dictionary expertly hand-crafted by diligent human lexicographers.

Also. people who love the Oxford Comma more than some family members.

Who's the audience for a paper dictionary these days? (Serious question.)

Okay this might be a crazy idea but… what what if when the gov shuts down on Oct 1 students walk out of school, and everyone who can calls out of work.
