There’s still both space and time! Come watch the Muppet Movie with us in Christie Pits. #TorontoOutdoorPictureShow
“Ask why is it that having no one use the space is considered preferable to having people largely abandoned by the systems that purport to exist to care for us all take shelter here when other forms of housing are not made accessible to them?” - Cera Cruise, intro to “A Community Was/Is Here”
Inspired by a thread in the #A11y Slack, I’m looking out for sparkles that aren’t used to indicate AI. Here are some I found in the bathroom at Bànk Bao on Spadina. #SparklesAreForHumans #TakeBackSparkles
Razorbed playing a hardcore show in Dufferin Grove Park. Just bonkers. The planet will be in good hands if we leave the kids anything to work with.
It’s not just baseballs. At this time of year, all breeds of sportsball seek out water to cool off, such as this tennis ball, smaller and better adapted to urban settings. The important thing to remember is that they’re not drowning - you should not disturb them by moving them to dry land.
The speed limit in Mount Pleasant Cemetery is 10km/h faster than it is in High Park, unless you’re on a bike - then it’s 10km/h slower than it is in High Park. #BikeTO
Portland is now a straight shot end to end. Also, there are now curbs from Queen to Adelaide! I believe this means bike lanes all the way from Dupont to the MGT, if that’s your thing. #BikeTO #VisionZero
Bike shop as infrastructure: Thanks to #FixCoffee+Bikes for the air, excellent coffee and abundant goodwill this morning. Thanks to the new location at the Well, I was able to fix my flat and get to the office with minimal time or caffeine lost. #BikeTO
Had the opportunity to visit with the patron St. of all the piano players who are running in Ottawa this weekend. Have a great race everyone! #RunOttawa #OscarPeterson

Brings to mind this old chestnut. (#BikeTO knows what I’m talking about)
Had this hilarious dream that I asked @robcruickshank.bsky.social to play electronics with me and Chris Banks at the Tranzac tonight and he said “sure, but you know I can’t play jazz right?” and well neither can Chris and I so perfect. 9:30-11:30. We’ll play some (jazz) tunes and some weird stuff.
I’ve been sick, closely following the photos and accounts of the impassible mess that is our bike lanes since the last snowfall (10 days ago?). Still, I wasn’t prepared to learn firsthand the extent to which Toronto has just given up. #BikeTO #VisionZero
Yesterday the plan was to try a new route to the Rouge but I left late and then hit so many trail closures (Don Trail * 2, Betty Sutherland, Earl Bales) that plans changed. It seems to me access could have been preserved in every case, but I’m not an engineer. #BikeTO
