It only took me 4.5 months longer than planned (and yes, I appreciate the irony) but my opening day documentary of the Eglinton is finally done! I was worried about it being too late but I only saw a few other uploads about TTC Line 5, and even then they weren't that production-heavy. #Transit

Our current WordPress and Bsky integration/workflow is less than optimal. Anyone recommend a good autoposter for WordPress to Bluesky?

Was looking for music-related labelers for bsky and this was the only one I could find. It says its for video game music but has so many options for musicians and music-adjacent audio roles. Check it out: @labeler.ivgorchestra.com

If you have spotify you should check out this Toronto Songwriter's playlist. There's some great local artists in this playlist that we've covered before, like Päter and Alexa Artzy, as well as legends like Gordon Lightfoot.
