Tired and thriving. She/her. Designer in Toronto. I want more bike lanes, accessibility, cleaner air, justice, and more musical Star Trek episodes.

Yeah, so I've heard! I'm sweaty like this all through winter too, I'm coming to accept. Hard to accept the idea of having to slowly replace my wardrobe if I don't wanna be sweaty every time I go out, though, haha.

I love a brisk walk. Unfortunately this means I always arrive sweaty. When I’ve got the kids with me, even more so. Is this what people recommend merino wool clothing for?? Linen??

Cities could be so much better. Once you've lived in a truly walkable city, you'll never stop seeing it.

Has Doug ever once acknowledged Raymond Moriyama, the world renowned πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦ architect of the original Science Centre? TVO made an excellent doc on him. Highly recommend watching, though it makes all this even more heartbreaking. He sadly passed away in 2023 (at 94!) www.youtube.com/watch?v=AoIh...

Reverse Federal cuts to public transit

We're calling on the federal government to restore + double the Canada Public Transit Fund, and provide stable recurring funding for transit operations, to prevent service cuts and fare hikes.

This pretty picture is of the province’s smaller Science Centre near their private spa at Ontario Place. The price tag is $1.4 billion. The existing building only requires about $350 mil over 20 years (and about $30 mil for priority repairs). All this based on the AG report.

Okay, I finally watched Heated Rivalry and I was not prepared for there to be only 6 episodes. 😭

I have reached out to 311 and my counsellor. I’m also trying to advocate for bike lanes in my neighbourhood, though it’s an uphill battle.

Once, technology solved problems. People liked having problems solved, so they liked technology.

Tech execs started to think of that sentiment as their due. So when they stopped solving problems, and people stopped liking them, they became outraged. "How dare you not love whatever we give you?"

It’s basically impossible to walk my kids to school/daycare with how poorly the sidewalks are plowed in my neighbourhood. (I’d try to find a way bike us to school but we don’t have bike lanes and I don’t feel safe sharing the road with cars…)

See? Everyone is horrified and disappointed. They feel it speaks directly to your values.

Just wrote a frustrated email to my counsellor and 311 about the shitty snow plowing in my neighbourhood. I just wanna walk my kids to school. I don’t have any hope it’ll improve, honestly.

Today we are launching a new intitative of Stand With Minnesotaβ€”KeepMNHoused.com, a rent-relief campaign backed with a $1.5 matching fund from the Wilson Foundation.

Thousands of MN families are at risk of eviction because of the ICE occupation’s lasting impacts. We can keep them housed.

I haven't been this depressed as an American since I heard about the free baby boxes in Finland.

Speed Limiters Now Mandatory in All New EU Cars Intelligent Speed Assist (ISA) isn't an ironclad speeding prevention system, but could be just annoying enough to spark a backlash.

This technology already exists and is widely used. It doesn't involve 'government surveillance' and would not allow ICE or any other government agency to stop individual cars.

Just say you think thousands of kids dying every year is worth it so you can speed!

I wish I knew how to - or had ideas on how I’d like to - alter a basic oversized unisex t-shirt.

Sometimes I wanna say it’s [1 year old]’s world and we’re just living in it - but if that were true there would be a lot less horrors and more baby ducks and turtles.

Maybe they need to rebrand them as expanded condo guest suites? But really, I’ve worked at tourist destinations in Toronto and learned majority of visitors were often visiting family of residents. That’s who a lot of tourists are…

Every now and then I wonder if anyone else remembers Nork, the mascot of North York pre-amalgamation, in North York mayor Mel Lastman’s reign. I think he may have looked like a less-creepy Bonhomme knock-off? #Toronto #NorthYork #Ontario

Metric is going on tour with broken social scene and The Stars annnd I’m not sure if there’s any hope the one year old will ever go to sleep without me or Dave by then but my inner mid 2000s millennial young adult self is yearning to go to that concert.

read online that someone set-up a premium rate phone number where callers get charged $3.99/ min. then they posted flyers in their neighborhood that said "call this number to report illegal aliens," but the number just puts them on hold with music. so far, they've made $17,000
