This is happening tomorrow! Come on by! I’ll be there! 12 to 5pm.

And they'll settle your upset stomach

They're very cute

Welcome to Pepto-Bismol Avenue

Museum of Bad Gifts Founded in 2024, the Museum of Bad Gifts is a tongue-in-cheek tribute to the chaos of consumption, the pressure of giving under obligation, and wild mistakes in judgement.

The Museum of Bad Gifts is coming back! If you have bad gifts (or photo/drawing representations of them) to submit or want to turn something bad into something better for the show, check out the submission forms on our website! www.museumofbadgifts.com

I'll be telling spooky stories tomorrow! Get a ticket while they're still available. www.eventbrite.ca/e/1769910803...

I feel cross-eyed looking at this new Canada Council portal. They couldn't have made the text boxes bigger? And a budget sheet that endlessly scrolls in all directions!

Nothing is spookier than learning more about the Rat Response Plan for Halloween!

The City had been doing such a good job at ignoring this motorcycle, and now they want to get rid of it because of the “rookie mistake” reporter pointing out that it’s there. This is ridiculous and frustrating!

I’m leading ghost walks on Oct 20 and Oct 26 in the Bloor & Dufferin area! Some of the proceeds will support the Brock PS schoolyard disaster elimination program. Grab a ticket on Eventbrite. It’ll be good spooky fun!

The Toronto artist turning a motorcycle into a community garden A long-abandoned motorcycle at College Street and St. Clarens Avenue has been transformed into a small garden by local artist Shari Kasman

The one detail missing here is that the Notice of Violation is a result of this article and the reporter’s approach to reporting. www.torontotoday.ca/local/arts-c...

A @torontotoday.ca reporter wanted to write about this, I told her my concern (writing this would shut down the project), but I agree to do it assuming my concern would translate into careful reportage. So she phones the City?! Gah! Now: Notice of Violation, and it's in a spot the City moved it to.

Did you know I've got a Substack? open.substack.com/pub/sharikas...

More marigolds for the College-St. Clarens Motorcycle Garden Pocket! If you visit, make sure to leave a review on Google Maps.

Subscribe to this fabulous paper! I’ve got a whole bunch of new whispers coming your way!

My friend Geoff wouldn’t stop complaining about this abandoned motorcycle, so this morning I decided it should become a garden and this afternoon me and his girlfriend Eva created this Motorcycle Garden Pocket! Thanks to the bike’s neighbour for the broken bike basket—it made for a nice planter.

Cool!

There were cars parked all over the grass down by Sunnyside Pool

These very ugly tree cages could use more colour! I’m running another crochet workshop in Bloorcourt where we’ll add to the street art! There are still spots available!! Tickets here: www.eventbrite.ca/e/crochet-fu...

That too!!

At least this time it's not written in backwards order! "Stop Bus" is just ridiculous.

Sitting only!

Back to school! Bored already! They grow up so fast!

I’m so glad they’ve decided to put my beach book at the Beaches branch!

Airplanes start promptly at 12:02pm

Geese for 2km by the Palais Royale? 2km of geese??!! I saw zero!

I talked to Cason at Type Books in the Junction and all the things I said are now on their Substack!
