Am I participating in the street life that Jane Jacobs wrote about when a guy started hitting on me while I was standing outside my building?

I think my least favourite part of the sun setting before 5PM is that it seems to be making it impossible for me to focus on doing all the work I have to do. I just cannot concentrate on anything for the life of me and I have a major studio assignment due in two days

All political victory speeches look the same, but Mamdani’s really reminds me of the victory speeches that Canadian party leaders make when they form majority governments.
It just gives me the vibe that something is fundamentally changing in American politics. For the better

Look, if karma required that the Jays lose for Mamdani to win, my New Yorker-in-Toronto self is perfectly okay with that

Just when I thought my life was stabilizing again, my landlord tells me they don’t have a record of me paying a rent increase that I ABSOLUTELY have been?
So, if anyone in Toronto knows a place available in the new year that would suit a 23y/o arts worker finishing his undergrad, lmk…

In high school, my friend accurately described my type in guys as “jocks with a heart of gold”
All day I’ve been bombarded with videos of all the hot Jays players getting emotional about how much they love their friends/teammates, so you can imagine what this is doing to me

You know, once in my life I'd like to live in a city that doesn't disappoint me every playoff season.
At the very least, Toronto teams don't normally make it this far, so that was nice

I never really remember that I voluntarily chose to move to a Great Lakes city until it gets slightly cold out again and Toronto becomes the windiest city on the goddam planet

Genuinely, did daylight savings happen? Google says its next week, people on social media are posting like it happened last night. My analog watch was 15 minutes off when I checked it against my devices, so that didn’t clear anything up at all

Being in art school is great until you’re lugging an installation work across the city to get home in a giant ikea bag.

According to my brother who studies the history of geopolitics, Carney is apparently really good at foreign affairs. However, I have not heard about ONE of his domestic policies that I remotely like. No home mail delivery? New LNG plants? Fuck off, food is still expensive even without the carbon tax

The Toronto Star’s City Report Card survey suggests six in 10 Torontonians believe that the city’s best days are in the past.

Shawn Micallef: There’s a good reason why some might think Toronto’s best days are behind it. Here’s how we change their minds
The best days for the city lie ahead of it, but there are things we have to get right to make sure that happens.

After having a blood cancer I can’t get live vaccines (like MMR) anymore. I’m super grateful that my parents vaccinated me properly as a kid. Parents should ABSOLUTELY be vaccinating their children before things like that happen so they stay healthy into adulthood. Herd immunity matters so much
We got our toddler the MMR the day he was old enough. These people are killers.
JUST IN: Vaccine advisers to the CDC have voted to recommended against using the combined measles, mumps, rubella and chickenpox vaccine for children under 4. https://cnn.it/3K73pNn

Hey so one of my longest friends made a short film last year and it’s available to stream on the CBC! Everyone should check it out, and maybe even vote for it by midnight (PDT) tonight so she can make even more awesome films!

I love architecture school so very much but it’s one of the few environments where I willingly make myself comb through 160,000 city business permit records (to learn about a neighbourhood)

One more post for #LabourDay: The Ukrainian Labour Temple, Winnipeg, built 1918-19. Designed by Robert Edgar Davies, funded by donations, built largely by volunteers. It played an important role in the Ukrainian labour community and in the 1919 strike. Lovingly maintained to this day.

Seriously, why does the Toronto air show get to practice for a whole week? It's getting really frustrating to have to put up with these military jets making so much noise around the city, and for what? So some military fan bros can get their rocks off looking at fighter jets? Fuck off

Any other Toronto airshow haters out there? Why does this military propaganda event get an entire long weekend to "practice" flying the same circles they do every year?

The point of being in architecture school is actually to make really cool database management tools to stay on top of the new school term
