Me, slathering on moisturizer and gloving up to keep it sealed in during -15° weather:

"Wicked had too much DEI," I wail, adding Elphaba's face to my bristol board chart of characters who were supposed to be white despite being green

If you ever have the opportunity, I would strongly encourage taking VIA Rail's Toronto-Vancouver service, "The Canadian". I took it this past week, and absolutely will again. Top-notch meals, comfy beds, lovely staff, and the dome car. THE DOME CAR. Just spectacular.

Distract voters with an anti-bike culture war that will cost an estimated $48m that could have gone toward putting out the fires in any of the provincial files that desperately need it right now. So not just attacking cyclists but actively digging in his heels on short-changing everyone. Brilliant.🙄

I will never get tired of this view 💙

Anthony Rapp for me - strangers have stopped me on the street to tell me I "look like the guy from Rent" when I wear a scarf.

I went from #1 to #2 as a symbolic glow-up but still on theme

With the Richmond/Adelaide diversion track now active, Toronto streetcars have returned to Adelaide St in regular service for the first time in decades! I've been waiting years to see a streetcar against the backdrop of the Financial District canyon on Adelaide. Very different aesthetic than King.

For the new folks who have followed me in the last few days, hi! PSA: my posts normally consist of urbanism/transit observations, political commentary, and occasional gay nonsense - you've been warned 😆

This is the #cdnpoli election slogan.

Still finding my legs on this app after making the leap from the Bad Place, and this captures the vibe about as well as any post I've seen. Hi friends, old and new! 👋😊

It's wild being a millennial in 2024 and hearing every other generation tell you "No, but you see, the scams, disinformation, and weird financial advice are our friends!"

The condemnation of Doug Ford's & Prabmeet Sarkaria's anti bike lane Bill 212 can be found as far away as North Bay. Per John Swart, "This time though, in Ontario, there is no bike lane debate – this is a story of cancel culture." #BikeTO #TOpoli #ONpoli www.baytoday.ca/local-news/o...

Canadian friends - I know you want to stop this from happening up there. Key points I think we missed. The left here ceded the suburban & rural in-person conversation bubble many years ago. No digital media or ads or even quick door knocking compensates for this. 1/
