queer, fat, loud about it 📣

exhausted grad student 🕯️

mostly just post about toronto transit
soooooo instead of a fare inspector we have a whole-ass cop on the 505 today!!! truly taking the ttc has become a surveillance nightmare. maybe we could have free transit if we stopped funding “security” asshats?

🚨fare inspectors at Bathurst station, stopping people getting off busses and streetcars. At least like 6-10. Love seeing wasted tax dollars at work! 🚨

LAPD sweeping people out of the MOCA parking lot- I’ll follow up, I believe that’s private property?

HOUSING FIRST: It's 3 times cheaper to provide housing and support services to the homeless than it is to keep them on the streets.

So we’re wasting A LOT of public money by not housing and supporting the homeless.

A lot of global academic conferencing is centered around the US, and US academic orgs have to be thinking very seriously now. You cannot continue to carry on with in person conferencing as if foreign scholars have no impediments to travel.
I know we like to pretend everything is "normal" again but..

"I disagreed with Mahmoud Khalil but"
1. what did you disagree with him about specifically? seems weird not to say

2. it doesn't matter whether you disagreed with him, getting kidnapped out of your home in front of your pregnant wife isn't the penalty for disagreeing with you

someone with more knowledge tell me why, of the at least 6 subway trains I’ve been on this week, only 1 or 2 haven’t had an issue causing significant delay or stopping. What is happening? People rely on public transit!!!!! #ttc @ttcriders.bsky.social @ttcalerts.bsky.social

and since I’m in a complaining mode: the inaccessibility in this city this winter has been truly abhorrent. I’m so tired of the car-centricity here. the snow plowing blocking sidewalk access. The ice patches. Not everyone here drives and even those who do often don’t daily. clear sidewalks.
