Just saw my ex and it is so freeing to realize just how incredibly unattracted I am to him. Walking proof that just because you're tall doesn't mean you're actually good looking...

Quesadillas are one of life's simplest pleasures

I think the thing that’s finally going to break me after these awful last few weeks is going to be people on the sidewalk making noise keeping me up past 2am every night of the goddam week

My personal life might have been a little chaotic these last two weeks but that can’t stop Shtot Magazine!

This reader's comment is the kind of New York culture that I feel I was raised in and try to carry with me in my life. I think for anyone who lives in a city, and feels a sense of ownership towards it, they're familiar with the feeling he's talking about.

Zohran Mamdani, reminding me of the night Olivia Chow won, that local politics will always be the most important and emotionally satisfying level of politics. I don't care what this means for Democrats nationally because I might be able to afford to return to the city I was born in sometime soon

There’s just something special about the design of Eastern Bloc stamps

Someone tried to log in to my Instagram last night and for the last few hours I've been pointlessly doing password resets and recovery attempts that don't seem to work at all. Frustrating end to a pretty bad week, but I guess it's forcing me to do a social media cleanse

Wondered why local news was making me so frustrated lately, and then I remembered that every summer there's a competition to see who can be the loudest and most negative in Toronto media outlets. I blame 6ixbuzz for starting it, and everyone else for perpetuating it

Did you know that you can support emerging Canadian artists AND get a magazine for it?

David Szalay's new novel "Flesh", either a wine bar or art studio as a venue, fundraising for the print run of an indie magazine. What's not to love?

I’m helping a friend develop a book club as a project for @studioshtot.bsky.social and it feels really great to use my event planning skills get used like this!

I've been working on this project for five whole years now and I'm so proud to finally be doing a print run of Shtot Magazine!

I am the one person in the world who is pale enough to get a sunburn on a vacation to the United Kingdom

ALTERNATIVES IF YOU’RE BOYCOTTING U.S. TRAVEL A table where every first item is "INSTEAD OF..." and everyone second item is "WHY NOT CONSIDER..." New York City / Toronto's West End Chicago/ the West End of Toronto The beaches of Florida / the beaches of Mimico Celebrity-spotting in LA / The Annex in west Toronto where you can see Margaret Atwood and the members of Sloan The herds of bison at Yellowstone Park / the bison who lives at the High Park Zoo in West Toronto

Avoiding U.S. travel? Here's my list of perfect 1:1 substitutes for vacation destinations around the globe

Now that the election is over we can go back to what truly matters: making sure that a Canadian team wins the Stanley Cup

Okay, Canada, we made an okay choice! Denying the Conservatives a government is great news!

I haven't always had the luxury of getting to vote for someone I truly believe in but @samanthagreen.bsky.social is the kind of person who reflects what I love about the community I decided to make my home. No matter the results, I'm going to come out of today proud and inspired by her!

A Disillusioned Urban Planning Glossary Compiled while sitting through a three-hour public hearing and rethinking life choices. - - -Are you a citizen trying to understand urban planning?...

NIMBY – Stands for “Not in My Backyard.” From the Old English "nimm bæc yarde," meaning “no change shall occur within sightline of my bird feeder.”

Do not deprive the immigrant of justice, for remmeber that you were immigrants in the land of Egypt

I read that stupid New York Times article advocating for urban sprawl and I’m so happy that I can come on here to see people hating on it

My magazine might be printing an issue this summer and we'd like to make it the best we possibly can. What would you like to see in Shtot Magazine? Tell us in the form:

I’m currently trying to track down the sequel

Cleopatra Jones is an incredible viewing experience and I cannot believe I had never heard of it before today

If the Junos are teaching me anything, it’s that lesbians run the Canadian music industry. Truly, a reason to be patriotic

Watching the Junos makes me fully convinced that Canada should be in Eurovision. If we can pull this off, we could totally do a national final

Lining up for a club in the rain? I have more self respect than that

Listening to vintage South East Asian psychedelic rock and now I have the overwhelming urge to design something that wouldn’t be out of place in the Whole Earth Catalog
