No thank you

😍

It's so beautiful there. Thank you for sharing these lovely photos!

So true! I'm surrounded by people who live five minutes from the best transit options to get downtown, and drive to Leaside and Scarborough for EVERYTHING.

What a confusing week.

😮 I had no idea! They are really investing in hijinks!

I had *just* been thinking that prank calls must be dead. I underestimated the resourcefulness of today's youth. 😂

I'm also amazed that they have quarters. I cannot remember the last time I handled one.

WTF

How many people opposing shelters in the name of children’s safety push for less cars, lower speed limits, road safety?

How many kids were harmed by unhoused people last year compared to drivers?

This is well put. Thank you.

Believe survivors. Donate to organizations that support survivors. Understand that today is a hard one for most women. We know what it’s like to not be believed and why the systems are not built to protect us.

😮 How do we make more if this happen?! What are the next steps?

I would be furious. And the raincoat is just rubbing salt in the wound.

Oof. That was worse than I could have imagined.

That’s it! I’ve been trying to put my finger on what musical but they were reminding me of! 🤣

I literally teared up seeing this kind of good news in my feed. And learning about the 30+ years of advocacy behind it!

I feel so fortunate that I experienced this place firsthand, and sorry it was so short-lived.

Tell your friends in nonprofit land:
I’m leading a Bluesky training July 22 online…

He cited the "hardship" (caused by people sometimes parking badly and blocking their driveways) being forced upon only one side of the street. This is definitely a neighbourhood with tons of people coming in to park and go to the restaurants, but...

I'd like a street that kids can safely bike on! 🤷

Ugh. I'm on Carlaw and yes, there is street permit parking. I fully supported these bike lanes and told the city so through the survey.

I had a neighbour come door-to-door trying to drum up opposition because parking would permanently move to *his* side of the street (instead of alternating). 🙄

Our home internet has been down for more than two days. Found out the neighbour stopped two separate techs from accessing the utility pole in his yard! 🙃

Ditto

😄

Fourteen years ago, I was struggling with the same thing, and I'm so happy I stayed strong. FWIW, I really take your word for it!

Normally a nice view of the skyline from Withrow Park, today I can barely make out the CN Tower through the haze.

The first time I’m grateful for that!

Ah. I see I have a kindred spirit who just wants to feel cold once or twice a day.

It's maddening. I make a point of telling them or gesturing to warn them and 80% of the time they wave me off like, "I know, I just don't want to course correct."

I only have to step outside to see a car driving the wrong way on our one-way street. But anti-bike people, do go on and tell me about cyclists breaking rules.
