What are they cooking in Liberty Village

Village Life, a new print for Pride 2026, is my version of a queer I Spy, modelled after an apartment building in Church-Wellesley Village (with a bit of added flair). What can you find? Available as 8x10 or 11x14 jaketobin.ca/shop/collect... with 50% of June sales donated to Rainbow Railroad.

Today, I’m entering the race for Ontario Liberal Leader because I believe Ontario can still win. But not if we keep ignoring our big problems.

Well! *slaps knee* guess we have to do Windsor-London-Toronto instead of Toronto-Ottawa-Montrea

Provincial Conservatives: We’re expanding the airport and destroying the island & waterfront whether you like it or not. Just like we destroyed the Science Centre & Ontario Place. Fuck you. Federal Liberals: Yasss sissy that landing 🏳️‍🌈💨🛬🏙️ we’ll paint the runway rainbow to replace Hanlans Beach 😍😍

I need to go shopping for shorter gay shorts and more breathable work pants for the summer. Any recs?

When Tyler Chuck-Yin and Helena Alexandra started planning their wedding, they considered an unorthodox venue: Bathurst Station, the first place they met. So on May 14, the TTC’s busiest Line 2 stop hosted not only its usual hordes of commuters, but a wedding, too. ❤️ Read more: trib.al/8voeh5M

Today, we’re CN-Tower-skydiving in with a big announcement: TTC and Transit are banding together, and getting around Toronto is getting an upgrade 🪂🤩🎉 💡 Detours? Live-tracked! ✨ Real-time data? Spruced up! 👂 Rate-My-Ride feedback? Tuned in! 👑 And Royale? Free for all!

Seriously, the solution to "crowd management" is pedestrianization more often, in more places, and for longer. Instead, transportation services just used "risks associated with high attendance" as a reason to not support Church St. pedestrianization. There is so much rot at city hall.

I just had chips and ice cream for food today and I feel awful

No, you’re not seeing double. Bike lanes save lives, and the ones on University Ave are doing double duty! As Councillor for Ward 11, in going to prioritize safe infrastructure for all commuters, implemented in a way that is responsible to local needs 🚲🚑

Pool day at the friend’s condo

Riverdale Park never gets old See reply for streetcar surprise ⬇️

Update: Night/Day

SO WE ACTUALLY DO HAVE WHITE BAR TRANSIT SIGNAL PRIORITY LIGHTS IN TORONTO??? WHY DON’T WE USE THEM ON KING?? Spotted at Bloor/Yonge at every direction (total 4x2=8)

It looks so tired… 🥀🥀💔💔

Mother Marit liking my comment on her pride video 😭😭

Is honestly shameful how many of our busiest streetcar stops/lines that carry more than entire transit systems don’t even have a fucking bench. Surprised it’s not an AODA violation

As councillor for Ward 11, I’ll advocate for a city-wide seating strategy including: 🏘️ Standards for distances between seating. 🌳 ⁠A rolling review of parks’ seating availability. 🚉 ⁠Seats at every covered streetcar stop.

"People tend to wildly misunderstand what a transportation system will be like with change. For some people, this is going to feel really inconvenient, but for the vast majority of people...much safer & much more convenient, much faster. - @shoshannasaxe.bsky.social www.youtube.com/watch?v=azK-...

Me when I vague post on main but it’s supposed to be public infrastructure policy

Anglo neoliberalism, 1980s:"Ahah look at those silly communists and their planned economy, making five-year plans like they can really see the direction the wild forces of the economy will take us!" Anglosphere planning, 2020s: "Here is my 60-year plan, that will be built by my Thousand-Year Reich"

Some park time with the pup

All I do is just stim and whine all day

When real estate agents think it’s too dangerous to take the TTC but hundreds of school children take it everyday with no issue

The Wellington and Portland modal filter discourse is killing me 😭😭 He’s SOOO close to getting it As the driver, *YOU* are the congestion. “They don’t want people driving”… well yes! That’s the whole point!! Less driving = less congestion. www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8s6BsAe/
