Timing is perfect. Just consume around your current body weight in sufganyot and latkes over the next week and a half to pack on enough pounds to sleep through the coldest part of the year

In the background to the right is a car collision.

poster from film Merry Christmas Mr Lawrence. It shows Japanese soldiers, POWs (including David Bowie), and a sword. they are in front of a styled silhouette landscape with mountains and palm trees. The sky is radiating stripes of yellow, deepening to light and then reddish-orange

The Ontario Science Centre property at 770 Don Mills Rd doesn’t belong to Doug Ford. It belongs to the TRCA and the City of Toronto. I’m asking council to ensure that this architectural masterpiece be kept in a state of good repair so it can one day serve the public again.

It is now an abandoned space out of time. Genuinely worth a walk through the emptiness to stumble upon a working barber shop amidst hallways full of blank white drywall

Swizzle sticks with glass animals on them. A red octopus with big googly eyes. A green turtle with googly eyes. An orange crab with even googlier eyes. A blue and white stripped sea horse with slightly less googly eyes.
