Seeing the Seagull at Twilight Theater in Portland. I’ve read it before, but never had a chance to see it. I think I’m partial to Uncle Vanya, but this should be a good show.

Runs for a couple more weeks if you want to check it out.

Just popping up to share that we now have confirmed dates for the West Coast leg of my Lifehouse tour! It would make me beyond happy to see you on August 1st at Elliott Bay in Seattle (w/Dean Spade!), August 3rd at Page Against the Machine in Long Beach, August 6th at Green Apple’s 9th Ave store in San Francisco, or August 8 at Powell's in Portland – and hopefully break bread with you afterward. Feel free to share with anyone you think might be interested!

Today in Labor History April 23, 1910: IWW farmhands went on strike in Yamhill, Oregon, when some were fired for teaching and talking about Industrial Unionism. The workers were demanding a 30-cents per hour raise and a decent bunk house. Farmers tried unsuccessfully to hire strike breakers and started slandering the strikers' wives. Fellow IWW members from Portland helped bring supplies and sabotaged some of the farmers' trees.

IWW silent agitator (sticker) with a red flag that reads: Abolition of the wage system, with a white sabot at the bottom). Across the top of the sticker it says: Industrial Unionism. At the bottom it says: Join the IWW. Freedom from wage slavery. In the background, smokestacks spewing smoke.

    Hi neighbors, I’m considering buying an e-bike (instead of a car, so think one-person Costco hauls) and I’m wondering if anyone is willing to share insights/advice/pro tips on living the e-bike + no elevator top floor apartment dweller lifestyle 😅

    I can move but I want to stay in the suburbs so an elevator is a tough ask… should I try to secure a storage/garage allotment? Is regular bike parking secure enough? Do I start powerlifting now so I can take on a 50lb bike?

    Women are constrained in their use of public space, especially women who bike.

    We need to stop tolerating aggressive behavior from people who drive against people who bike.

    @portlandmercury I would add the "Dungeons and Drag Queens" event happening at the McMenamin's Mission Theatre show at 8pm on Saturday! I'll be there to record another interview with the DMs and the Queens after the show ends. I went to their previous show in December and it was hilarious and delightful.

    EDIT: fixed a typo and accidentally wrote 9pm instead of 8pm 😅

    #climateChange #climate #projections #dataViz #map #analog #classification

    A map of USA. Climatic analogs for some North American urban areas in the late 21st century. For each of the six example cities, colored triangles and circles indicate the location of the best contemporary climatic analog to 2080’s climate for the 27 future climate scenarios for RCP8.5. Triangles indicate representative contemporary analogs (<2σ) and circle size indicates increasingly poor analogs. Colored diamonds and bold lines indicate contemporary climatic analogs for the ensemble mean across the 27 individual projections.
