Having already lost my “I VOTED” sticker, I went back to the polling station (which happened to be the same venue as my evening swimming lesson) and stated my case, stuck strictly to the facts, and before I could even ask the poling agent for a replacement […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

A man's hand, holding six Toronto “I VOTED” stickers, still on a sheet. They're mostly white stickers with a black half, and three squares (one yellow, one light blue, and another red). Each has the URL toronto.ca/elections is at the bottom of the sticker. In the background is a print of a painting of a Toronto streetcar with people walking up to it.

What I really wanted was one of the City of Toronto-branded straightedges the election staff were using to cross people off as having voted. There were two kinds!

Toronto’s “I VOTED” sticker on a black surface (my jacket), taped on because it is evidently sticker-repellent material.

It’s a mostly white sticker with a black half, and three squares (one yellow, one light blue, and another red). The URL toronto.ca/elections is at the bottom of the sticker.

Did I ever tell you that I have a KeeKit Weather Station, that I’ve had it for the last 2 years, and that I love it?

The sky is OP according to the Gen Alpha that just walked by. #LakeHuron #BrucePeninsula

The Pirate module project page has a logo! And it’s visible in the Project Browser. Much gratitude to Bay Area Drupal Camp, aka BADCamp for permission to use a past logo of theirs as the logo for this module. #Drupal #yarr

Me, I’m camera shy, so I didn’t march in the main parade, but I did march when the audience joined in at the end. I didn’t know that was a thing until today. And it was my first time walking across the “iconic” 5th Street Bridge in the middle!

I did as Ariana Grande instructed.

A screenshot of my Record Club activity, indicating that I listened to Robyn’s Sexistential twice in a row, the joke being in reference to the Ariana Grande "listen twice" tweet in response to a fan complaining about her (AG’s) track lengths being too short.

Here’s an event after my heart eyes.

This is not a good first impression of the new software I started using, and believe me, I know a thing or two about first impressions.

I’ll start. Here’s a stopped clock, at midnight (or is it noon?), on the corner of Bellevue and College, in Toronto, Ontario. It’s the clock tower of No. 8 Hose Station (a small fire hall), and the photo was taken at 5:11 PM on December 1st, 2025.

I’m about to put the supplies I bought thinking generative art would be a hobby of mine into a box and likely forgetting that I was interested in doing it.

Erasers, graph paper, felt pens, coloured pencils, dice, playing cards, and a sketch pad.

Sessionize has a login option called “Classic Login”, by which they mean email address and password.

A screenshot of Sessionize, a conference papers and talk submission and management website, that has several third-party options to login (Facebook, Google, Microsoft, Office 365, and X/Twitter), all of which are a green button, along with one called "Classic Login" which has a green border and white background.

It’s because people are listening to podcasts, not music.

There’s a statically 100% chance that the Toronto Blue Jays will win the 2025 American League pennant. #BlueJays

The FanGraphs win probability for the Tampa Bay Rays vs. Toronto Blue Jays game on September 28th, 2025, showing a 99.9% chance of winning after George Springer hit a home run to make it 13-4 for the Blue Jays in the bottom of the 7th inning.
