Always reading. Interested in food, photography, fibre arts and fountain pens. Probably looking at plants, architecture and for deep shadows. Queer as hell. 🏳️‍🌈

Cozy weekend vibes only to start this grey Saturday morning with this perfect egg and bacon sandwich that was just egg yolk oozy enough to be saucy but not drip all over you.

Made right by the tiny local hipster coffee joint where I feel absolutely welcome but the spiritually oldest person ever.

Lets get a l’il @torontosymphony.bsky.social thread going for this season.

Still some of the best money I have ever spent when I decided to subscribe last season and I am thrilled to have subscribed again and that we’re back and I have months of shows to look forward to.

After chasing shadows at the @fotoapp.co photowalk this morning, I was able to make it over to Biidaasige Park to see the gorgeous canoe parade by @thebentway.bsky.social and artist Melissa McGill.

Growing up near here, Hog's Back park was my childhood play ground and yes the way that you can get down on the bed rock and to the open river directly below the falls always felt like a bit of wild magic.
Under the Heron Road Parkway where you're high up on the cliff bank. Then you come to Hogs Back Falls, where water in the Rideau River is regulated by a dam before spilling over the rocks. Access to the bedrock is open, which is kind of wild to me, and makes for a great picturesque space.

Flying to Toronto from Sweden yesterday the view of Greenland and northern QC was clear and beautiful. Until we hit the forest fire smoke.
It was a huge haze cloud for the last two hours of the flight and as we descended we saw the ceiling of forest fire smoke bisect the clouds.

I have had the pleasure or working with and getting to know @seanholman.bsky.social over the past few years and he is one kindest and most thoughtful people I have ever met.

The CDP shares informed stories with such compassion and I am so pleased to see them get this next opportunity to level up.
We are proud to announce the Climate Disaster Project and its partners have been awarded a $2.5 million grant to document the stories of climate-impacted people worldwide, creating a museum exhibition that honours their experiences and shares their wisdom.

We also stopped at Neo Coffee and they had green tea and matcha from Uji Japan, the green tea capital, that is both the loveliest town AND has the most amazing concrete architecture train station in the world.

We visited in 2017 and I nearly wept in joy at this gorgeous train station.

Biked over to the St Lawrence Market this morning to finally check out the relatively recently opened new North Market. With the huge side doors open and comfortable spaced aisles it was really lovely.

I know it’s not the original grand vision, but it feels like a good civic space nonetheless.

I was able to join a webinar a few months ago where Daniel talked about the AIDS quilt project(s) which was fascinating.

As a queer who loves to craft, I am really excited for this release next year to read their insights on queer identity through and within craft.

Do you like cheese? I like cheese. Do you like a good story? I like a good story and this is sure to be one.

I had the pleasure of listening to Mike on CBC morning radio in MTL for years and then the joy in watching him discover this next passion and this will be such a delight to read.
The Cheese Cure is out 28th August! My 1st book. It’s about all things cheese, how it changed my life, and a tale of the power of taking a sabbatical. Inspiration, humour, cheesy indulgence, geeky knowledge. You can order a copy now – also e-book and audiobook (read by me!) – from the link in my bio

Went to the AGO and then for a wander yesterday. Caught some nice shadows.

The @ndp.ca hold the balance of power.

@mark-carney.bsky.social says he's open to electoral reform.

And a citizens' assembly on electoral reform has been official @liberalca.bsky.social policy since their 2023 convention.

What are we waiting for? Let’s end first-past-the-post now!

Congratulations to @mark-carney.bsky.social on his election win.

Just days ago, he acknowledged that structural issues in our democracy—like electoral reform—can be addressed.

We look forward to working with his government to ensure every Canadian’s vote truly counts.

I voted. It took me 20 minutes from home and back. I waited behind two other people to be admitted, pet a cute dog, had a lovely chat with the returning officer preparing my ballot and was done.

It took me longer to walk to and from the venue, either direction than to vote.

For Independent Bookstore day today I pre-ordered my budddy @petcri.bsky.social’s soon to be released book The Vinyl Diaries from my fave local bookstore, Type Books on Queen.

Really looking forward to reading this in a few weeks and celebrating queer joy at the book launch soon.

Whoa! The doors for the accessible washrooms on the new VIA cars are cool Star Trek curved slide-y doors. Very fun!

Visiting my brother and getting to tromp around the woods on a rainy day. We explored and stood below a beaver dam with the lake above at eye level, it is a very cool and totally surreal perspective of a lake.

We saw mr or missus beaver later too and said hi and good work.

On the train to Ottawa and using the lovely Yuruliku pouch that I picked up from Paper Plus Cloth last year for the first time.

It holds everything I need while in seat; my Kobo, AirPods, a charger, mints, a chapstick and my Traveler’s Notebook and pen.

Because it was well past my bedtime by the time it was done, this is a morning shoutout to @meakoopa.bsky.social for once again creating a wonderful, welcoming and silly space for queer joy at last night’s Wicked sing-a-long.

I had never heard of this ridiculous looking nonsense of a movie before and now I can't wait to watch it in a theatre full of cackling, laughing and cheering gays!

I will be warming up my hoots and hollers before time so I am ready to go all in.
Is it a good movie? NO. is it a GREAT movie? YES. is it a GAY movie? HELL YEAH!

Henrietta came into the store today. She was born in Palestine and asked me if I had any maps of the region. She told me about living in Bethlehem and Jerusalem and going on a motorcycle ride from Damascus to Istanbul. We got to travel together briefly with this 1946 map from National Geographic.
