So upsetting. I'm in the east end and surrounded by empty lots supposed to be housing but stalled. Lots at Broadview and Mortimer now for sale, 8 years after Whistler's closed. Only non-profit developers seem to be building. Should make a similar list for my hood.

We've avoided the immediate danger, but yes, we all need to listen to ACORN. I desperately wish all these articles about renters and the LTB didn't make all renters seem like horrible scammers. I just wanted to stay in the same house to give my kids some stability. 😡

Some parts of Bill 60 were removed due to pushback but need to keep an eye on it for sure. Ontario is definitely in an affordability crisis. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

I do wonder whether we'll have a renaissance of "real looking food" or a growing trend of "imperfect" food images, given that we already had stock shots or heavily altered appearance via stylists (I used to work in stock, no shade to stock photos but authenticity is cool)

Isn’t this closer to what we should be doing? We’re going backwards. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

I’m pretty sure that beer cans and wine bottles cannot be placed in the new EPR blue bins across the province.

I am quite sure I only just finished reading the round-up from last year? Aging truly does cause time compression. 😭

So here’s my q: what happens to all the land holdings at each of the current CAs? Do they revert to the new Provincial agency? Asking for 81 acres at Don Mills and Eglinton owned by TRCA. But also the other 39,000+ acres they also own.

Clearly our work is done here?

So all the “free credits” are going away? I keep looking at Affinity but use InDesign and need the accessibility tools plus Acrobat and idk I just want to work without having to pay a fortune every month for my tools. 🫠

Are the gargoyles on Old City Hall proper gargoyles or just grotesques? I’ve always loved the Clock Tower.

If you get stuck, happy to help!

Oooh! Thanks for sharing - will definitely check this out.

I have wanted a void chicken ever since Stardew Valley! Clearly his grumpy little face deserves more cuddles.

I love my Logitech MX Mini. Apple’s low profile gear is sleek but terrible for ergonomics. The feedback on it is lovely for typing but it’s not loud. Also Logitech’s MX Master 3S for Mac mouse saved my hand. (My kid is really into mechanical keyboards so helps that I had an introduction.)

Ha ha - oddly appropriate given all the purple in the video 💜

“introducing over 1,100 purpose-built rental homes, replacing a significant portion of previously planned market condominiums” … This is what I’m waiting to hear in TorDan, given the huge number of “pending” condo projects.

Our oldest is prepping for a handwritten mid-term this semester. Two potential questions pre-released, cheat sheet allowed, also handwritten. Tough slog for anyone not used to writing by hand.
