Come with me to hang out at the plant house to listen to the 50 year old synthesizer record made for plants. Feels like we got away with something at the Plantasia-Allan Gardens listening event.

Just a reminder that in a world where there are people in power who are actively trying to make its citizens less educated, Dolly Parton gave literally millions of free books to children. imaginationlibrary.com/ca/

Butter tart funnel cake, deep fried butter chicken corndog, deep fried pizza, deep fried watermelon... these were just a few of the things I ate at the CNE last year. What will I put in my mouth this year? Read the 2025 food recap at: riskyfuel.com/2025/10/01/t...

An old European man outside the Sankofa watch party looked at my shirt and really wanted to know what team I’m cheering for. He did not understand when I told him I’m probably Railroad with Minutemen rising.

Three things I enjoy about Party Dozen: 1) Their ludicrously noisy saxophone punk. 2) Peoples’ reaction to their ludicrously noisy saxophone punk. 3) Dreaming up outlandish origin stories about how these two met and then decided to be… this.

RIP William Burrill. As a wee j-student I had to "interview a celebrity" for assignment. I chose him, Eye Weekly's coolest columnist. He took me to The Rivoli patio, talked to me for two hours, got me right drunk, then paid the whole bill (keeping the receipt to get expensed, of course). A legend.
