I was so excited for Lauryn Hill's upcoming tour...
Problem is, the *cheapest* tickets here in Montréal are $233, & the Wednesday night show doesn't even start until 21h30.

A couple is sitting nearby. She's got a cast on her foot...
Him: What're we gonna eat?
Her: It's a 90min flight. They'll have snacks on the plane.
Him: I'm hungry now!
Her: [pointing] Sandwiches, pizza, Thai?
Him: I dunno...

When I was eleven or so, I told my father that, if he ever hit me again, I'd claim he'd touched me. I was too steeped in the abuse to see the physical violence as unacceptable, but the threat of sexual assault accusations? That might just stay his hands...

I wish I understood why, but no fewer than five people have interrupted me to ask a variety of questions since I arrived at the station an hour ago (the bus left 15min late, about 15min ago).
Bus people are fucking weird...
We haven't even left the station, & some rando just asked me if I could hotspot him?! 😑🖕

This is my last morning in Toronto...
I skipped taking the GO train, walked up to Trinity Bell Woods, & lazed in the park for an hour before grabbing the 503 over to Union station.

Having war criminals give speeches at the UN is fucking wild.
During his address to #UNGA80, which many diplomats boycotted, Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu said the war on Gaza is ‘not done yet’. Israel’s genocide has killed at least 65,500 Palestinians.

At one point, earlier, there were two people watching videos w/ the sound on & someone having a speakerphone convo!? 🤬
I asked the people to use their headphones though, & they did!
So it's blessedly quiet now.
