Building hater/appreciator out of Toronto. He/they. Hates your neighbourhood’s character, yes, specifically yours.

Picked out my outfit for the party tn. See yall at Pauper’s or on the live stream for @spacing.bsky.social’s watch party.

Chris (of Toronto the Politics the Show) pulled the Bradjak fanslop up on livestream last night and I completely lost composure—an image that really sums up this election for me on some many levels. We’ll be reacting to results at @spacing.bsky.social’s party tonight, going live around 7pm

So this is illegal… got this door knocker on my door from the conservative who is running in my ward for councillor… with the wrong polling station on it

Over on The Other Site, the City is being attacked for posting two men pushing a stroller. Tobi and suggested that a Bradford mayoralty would result in a city wouldn’t post that kind of content I dared to ask why and have been getting bombarded, but nothing compared to what City staff is getting.

A single property owner on Bathurst refused to sell for the Mirvish Village/Honest Ed’s development. Here’s how it’s been integrated into the pedestrian street component.

Not only did the City have to lock replies, the wife of Stephen Miller, Trump’s Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy, took the time to mock the move. We have people, including a local tech leader, throwing the city under the bus for American culture war nonsense.

I saw it on the other other site (Facebook) and the city had to edit the post with a whole thing about how they were locking comments because of "numerous violations of the city's social media terms of use"

An unintentional byproduct of this practice is that I've basically incorporated a photography drill into my daily routine, which has translated to a renewed sense of passion for my deliberate photo walks. These were shot 18 days into the work; they are quite unlike what I usually capture.

Picked up 7.4 lbs of garbage alone in a thunderstorm this morning. Documented a couple hundred friends turning away a construction crew in Etobicoke tonight. That’s Toronto bb.

Spent my morning in the dunes picking trash with Friends of Hanlan’s. I have now seen bags upon bags of proof some of you enjoyed that place very thoroughly this summer—please remember the contributions of these community stewards (only litterati pictured).

Happy thanksgiving, here’s my review of Solly’s Kraft Dinner Cream Soda. Entrance fee is listening to some of my thoughts on rhetoric in the Toronto election. Enjoy.

I’ve upgraded my detrash tools with a high vis purpose built bag called a Litter Ridder. It can hold up to 10 lbs of junk. Alternated biking and walking to brickworks, lower don, cork town commons, then union. Full bag and exhausted pup.

The point of this project is that it's impossible to achieve a "win" state; the boulder just rolls down the hill the next day. But the before/after shots are still quite satisfying.

I've started my third week of Never the Same River, my daily POV photo/detrash walk series. Here's a little preview of the newly uploaded September 30 vid, featuring a surprise @mikelayton.bsky.social cameo.

I am once again at Biidaasige. $1.5 billion in investment that’s going to unlock something like $10 billion in development. An engineering project that allowed landscape architects to lead. We are very fortunate.

The crazy thing about street photography as a hobby is that some mornings I will see things so serene and beautiful that they almost move me to tears and then I have to go sit in an office chair and build a database as if nothing happened

Also of note—when building this thing I tried to engage the platform’s AI assistant and it flat out refused on a community safety and “manipulating public opinion” basis. Should give you some idea of what Bradford’s team IS NOT taking into consideration.

I am excited to announce that I will be launching a new service that will generate handcrafted analogue pro-Bradford responses on request. You simply enter the URL of a post by Brad, Chow, or Alexander and your email. Then I will send you a JPG to post with a bespoke response.

For instance, you send me the tweet on the left because you want the world to know what you think about Chow's latest endorsement. So I send you the bespoke response on the right. Post the jpg as your own reply and get 20 Dan Dollars just like that!

What can you buy with Dan Dollars? Well, like Bradford, I'm not sure what I can offer without violating election law. But what I can tell you is you'll earn a spot on ✨the leaderboard✨ Compete with your fellow social media addicts to become Dan's Favourite Sycophant!

"But Dan, you're a bleeding heart lefty...you expect us to participate in these shenanigans through free labour?" Of course not! Once you post your bespoke JPG in reply, simply send me the URL as proof and I will bestow upon you 20 Dan Dollars as a reward.

Because of the election, the elevated discourse has been bumming me out, so I've expanded my street photo practice (and dog walking) to include something to keep my hands off my phone between shots. Thanks to the r/detrashed community for the inspo.

This is the Doctors Parkette at College and Brunswick. Recently had a date at Som Tum Jinda (excellent, btw), and we wanted to eat dessert on the benches, but it was a bit icky. Not sure how long it will last, but the pic above took 9 min. I was there for 1.5 hours. Behold!

There is a lovely bake sale at 20 Spadina Road in support of United Way and Community Living just north of Bloor and Spadina today. The blueberry coffee cake was a 10/10 for me.
