you don't have to put on blackface to get social media attention. you can simply develop mild depression, join a menswear forum, spend the next 15 years arguing about pants, and then weaponize the knowledge against your enemies on social media.

Torontonians deserve a transit system that’s safe, reliable & affordable. Right now, the TTC is evaluating a proposal for fare capping- meaning that after a certain number of rides per month, you get to ride for free. It would finally replace the outdated monthly pass system…
