My kid is so stuck on the idea that yogurt is disgusting that she could not process that "body yogurt" is a made up thing and not a dairy product, much like "body butter" and that it was about texture

Instagram, forever wanting to know if I’d like to see the children of a person I kissed at a party out of town 22 years ago. I’m good!

Toronto/Toronto parents PSA: the advance ticket discount for the CNE through Metrolinx (Presto) is cheaper than the advance discount through the official site 🫡

I would like to update to say she says she didn’t process who she was texting and that this will not be a regular thing 😅

First long(er) feature I wrote in a while, go check it out!

I have, and it's been on my mind - haven't been in many years

Close! Simon’s Wok!

Really unclear how my family is perceived. Sunday at brunch we were offered 3 (!) separate bills. My kid and I look more alike than ever, and she’s older than she was but does not read as an adult??

Last week lawn seats for a show that had started and it was raining during were going for $500

Tickets to a concert that go on sale to the public on Monday are already on Stubhub 😭

Used a lot of the tricks of the original, reasonable number of throwbacks, some filler but not too much, even Lisa’s plot line made sense??

Last week’s AJLT was good?!

The only thing I want for dinner is food from a place that no longer exists!!

Will summer immediately feel over if I advance buy CNE tickets now?

Do I have Halifax friends or regular visitors to on here? If you needed to eat one meal in downtown Halifax, where would you go?

We have hit "So busy at work I had to cancel therapy." So the idea that I was/we were going to "slow down for the summer" is maybe a thing to reassess. That and my life/priorities.

Mattie Lubchansky’s ‘Simplicity’ interrogates queer communism | Xtra Magazine The star author’s latest graphic novel is a visionary glimpse into the highs and lows of trans peace

"Simplicity," the new graphic novel out from @mattielubchansky.com is out today.

"[The book] is symptomatic of how trans speculative fiction can push thinking about the future beyond the unpicking of homophobia and transphobia from the social fabric."
