I imagine something similar to a sink pizza?

you'd think, since amazon can send anything to anyone, anywhere, there wouldn't be a reason to exclude the other country country listed specifically in their giveaway T&C

I'm in one of those weird spots in Toronto where I can't tell if this an unsigned public space (gated, no locks), private property, or something in between. Drinking a coffee, reading my book, and wondering if I'm going to be run out of here at any moment. Really nice place for it.

'Flock' is a term I've only encountered in wallcoverings before. Synonymous for "you didn't price this job high enough". Nice to know my dusty used book stores dives bear fruit once in a while.

Scrolling too fast. For a moment there I was worried I was about die on a hill for one of my favourite reads of 2023.

@torbooks.bsky.social Don't know why you guys thought it was ideal to limit a Canadian author's giveaway to people outside Canada, but there are a lot of people on here bummed out we can't enter/support.

One of my all time faves you can't get often is 'con patate'. Pizza bianco with razor thin potatoes, rosemary, and sometime thin sliced sweet onion. So good.

One of Clive Cussler's earlier books had the Triangle as a wacky plot element. The world lost a great potential franchise when Sahara flopped. Although the books would have had to been scrubbed very, very deep for homophobia, misogyny, and racism 😬

Made a niche meme as a memorial for this lovely place, soon to be swarmed by bylaw enforcement RIP

Four panel Independent Thought alarm meme, edited for Toronto residents.

First panel, Lisa Simpson at desk, text reads "I just wanted you to know I had fun on city property"

Second panel, Ms. Hoover at her desk, head replaced by toronto flag in the shape of city of toronto boundaries. Text reads "Thank you for telling me"

Third panel, same edited version of Ms Hoover, reaching surreptitiously under her desk.

Fourth panel, image of a hand pressing a red button labeled "Someone Enjoying Themselves Alarm"

Editor's note: I wish I could make the button seem worn out from overuse, which would be appropriate for my city.

I usually use this comic, with the text changed, for a similar purpose. mostly because it applies more to me, so as to be self-deprecating, but similar reasoning applies.

The Mcsweeney's Volume gave me a big smile when I saw it on the shelf. I had it in my cart when it first came out, but the shipping + conversion to $CDN made it pretty pricey. I don't know who dropped it off, but it's already in the lead for Find of the Year.

Fun times trawling for books last week. Ray Nayler's Tusks of Extinction, which I didn't have a hard copy of. Gene Wolfe's Citadel of the Autarch, I'm pretty sure is a 1st/1st? The internet will probably tell me why it's a BCE, though. #booksky #secondhand #thrifting #scifi #horror

After a terrible pizza (light toppings, overcooked) at Another Shop, I was ready to swear off Detroit-style. Luckily, the guys at Afro Pizza turned it around for me. Had their Chicken and Waffles pizza. Amazing! And reasonably priced vs. The Other Guys. #toronto #pizza #torontofood #shoplocal

There's been a lost of posts in book related subreddits, with both good and terrible discussion, but TrueLit had the biggest "this is beneath me" take. Add to that the shouting down of someone commenting from the pov of a person in the bdsm community and you easily form an image of the commenters.
