Today's tree break is grateful for the sun, & still smiling from this morning's moment of joy at Toronto City Hall. The raising of the Palestinian flag may be largely symbolic, but it represents a shift in if not opinion, then acceptance from our government. A small step, but an important one. ✊🇵🇸🧡🌳☀️

This tree break is for anyone who's struggling, anyone that needs a moment to just breathe; I hope today brings you a moment (however brief), of peace. 🧡🌳🫂

Doug Ford's Ontario Conservatives are still trying to fast-track evictions via Bill 60. There's a rally tomorrow in Etobicoke. Rent Control protections remain in place [for now] but for how long? Lots of other stuff in this bill worthy of fighting against.

Not quite a tree break, but a break among some trees. I hope you're finding some light amidst the grey and gloom; it's not easy, I know. 🍂🍁🌳

Co-worker and I just spent half an hour nerding out over Shakespeare. Bonus was finding out they love 'King Lear' almost as much as I do. 🧡📜

Had a dream - more like a nightmare - that I lost my Presto card. Woke me straight up.
Yes, I did get up in the middle of the night to make sure it was still there, do you know what a pain those are to replace?

Another maddening move by Doug Ford meddling in Toronto where his govt has quietly killed the city's 15 year old green roof bylaw—an industry-leading bylaw that has been copied in cities around the world & helps reduce stormwater runoff & building energy use/costs, as per @thestar.com.
