This *is* super helpful, and also a source for a good laugh, reading about some candidates who have the audacity to run with zero community work or a platform, or are even *convicted fraudsters*. We are not a serious city. #topoli

Gotta love local economies. We cleaned out our kitchen for repainting and placed 2 tables-worth of stuff by the curb for free and many people took what they wanted or needed. Stuff not going to landfill.

On the *same day* the Cornell Seven drugged and raped Jane Doe, Cornell banned four students (including the President of Cornell JVP) from campus for three years for nonviolent, pro-Palestine protests. The same Cornell officials let the rapists off with apology essays.

Asexuality challenges a culture that often conflates perceived desirability with sexual availability. Our identities invite reconsideration about what we're told is inherent to intimacy and attraction. Perception alone can never tell you what kind of connection someone might seek

The colours at High Park's pond these days are amazing. A photo near one of my favourite trees.

A fallen tree thriving in Grendier Pond, surrounded by the vibrant greens of leaves and algae bloom. A blue sky peeks from the corners. The lens was smudged, giving it all a dreamy feel.

I didn't want to do the thing, but I'm gonna do the thing. While Steinem did amazing things, I loathe to see her Playboy 'undercover' work hailed like it is. I wrote an extensive piece on this in my undergrad, and learned she invisibilized & ignored a lot of what the Bunnies talked about…

I'm not usually one to watch court cases, but the Lyndsay Clancy trial's testimonies by her various mental health providers has me transfixed. It is a prime example of how the medical system does not work as movies and tv have us believe. Things like 'common sense' do not manifest.
