Last night at The Opera House. Super fun show, great energy. #thelindalindas #2025shows

Data visualization series showing maps and correlation between immigrants and Conservative votes over time in the Greater Toronto Area.

We put together a bunch of data and wrote an interesting thing about where immigrants are living and how the GTA is voting over the past 80 years. Take a look schoolofcities.github.io/gta-immigrat...

I'm not sure there's much more than a Kopi O kosong at a Singapore coffee shop in the muggy heat.

picture of Haruki Murakami's hardcopy book entitled The City and its Uncertain Walls, on a red background.

Meandered my way through this meander of a book. I think Murakami's work tends to variations of similar themes; not necessarily a bad thing, since it can be a nice, chill place to be. #2025reads

At the book launch for @qinillustrations new book, #fantasticlou, in conversation with Kyo Maclear #asiancanadian #asiancanadianlit

Historical fiction and a love story. Edge of my seat the entire second half. Really enjoy Janie Chang's work. #asiancanadian #asiancanadianlit #2025reads

Fury of Dracula on a snowy Saturday night. #boardgames #dracula

I'm looking at the photo in Lanrick's post and I'm just. Nope. I'm not going to ride in that. I had a huge wipeout in similar garbage last winter and I'm done with this half-ass.

Snow day at the gym, trying out the video thing. Easy 11-, small finger and toes, fairly straightforward stuff. The pink 11+ was much more interesting but I wasn't thinking about taking a video then. #climb #rockclimbing #rockoasis

Reading the uninformed discourse on this is exhausting. And on the other hand the clearance is done in such a way that makes it hard to bike anyway

Selfie of a jogger on a bridge over a river.

5+k, -7°c, windy, cold, felt like a bit of a slog. Valley still my happy place though.

Runner in a snowy valley trail, bridge and river in the background.

5km, -6°c, low wind, packed snow in the trails, which was nice; a couple icy spots, not so nice; street into the valley gross and muddy. Gorgeous inside the valley though. #runto

Someone has been here.

BEFORE THE COFFEE GETS COLD - I kept hearing about these little cosy Japanese stories that I think were kick-started by this one and managed to get my hands on it. The first chapter was rough as I had an instant dislike for the characters but things got better afterwards. #2025reads #TPL

I've been missing something not recording all the beautiful #kidlit I've been enjoying over the last 5+ years. LITTLE SHREW is such a sweet little piece, with 3 gorgeously illustrated stories of a lovely and simple little life. One can dream. #2025reads

Was pretty relaxed getting through the first book of 2025. Finished this in late January. Several exciting and absorbing moments interspersed with ploddy stuff. Still pleased to get through the main canon. #2025reads #fantasy #fantasylit

This world is wild at heart and weird on top!

Skim by Mariko and Jillian Tamaki, and Shadow Life by Hiromi Goto and Ann Xu.

Pigeon footprints in the snow.

We were here.

I've really enjoyed every Silvia Moreno-Garcia I've read, and this was fun as hell. Tracking down HG Wells's The Island of Dr Moreau now, but I'll say I kept picturing Val Kilmer. #2024reads

ROAMING /Jillian and Mariko Tamaki. Beautiful graphic novel with the most evocative NYC tourism street scenes. Remember what it's like to be young? #2024reads

Picture of the book Denison Avenue by Christina Wong. Cover is a pencil sketch of a streetscape in Toronto's Chinatown.

DENISON AVENUE / Christina Wong - beautiful, lyrical, heartbreaking. Strong feelings about the way my specific broken-Mandonese-speaking immigrant Southeast Asian Chineseness brings its own changes to Chinatown. #asiancanadian #chinatown #2023reads
