“TRANSSEXUALS HEX ROBIN MORGAN” read the 1973 headline in The Advocate when this group of trans liberationists used witchcraft (and a bit of political theatre) to fight back against early anti-trans activists. Listen to the full episode to find out all the dirt, gossip, and glam

Did you know that the theatre in Guildwood Park was once part of the facade of the Bank of Toronto that stood on the southwest corner of King Street and Bay Street? You can see the original building in this postcard from the Larry Becker Collection.

Okay Toronto started the public survey on Church Street pedestrianization. I need you to tell the city it’s great. We only got 92% positive on Kensington market and it failed, let’s blow that out of the water. haveyoursay.toronto.ca/churchstreet

“And so I wake in the morning and I step outside And I take a deep breath and I get real high And I scream from the top of my lungs ‘What's going on?’" Ladies and gentlemen, meet Tasmania’s Neil the seal, who hangs out in people‘s yards, on the road, wherever he wants to, actually.

Friends in Toronto, be sure to check out the new plaque commemorating the march following the notorious bathhouse raid in 1981. And a great lecture by Tom on the lessons from this history too: www.youtube.com/watch?v=pk2-...

And here it was last night! Officially started as an independent event, the Trans March had to be cordoned off on the sidewalks. Since then, it has grown to having thousands of participants every year.

#TodayInQueerHistory June 27 (2009) Toronto has its 1st Trans Pride 🏳️‍⚧️ What started as a Facebook event page by Karah Mathiason, who expected "only 10 people" to be interested, soon had 300+ RSVPs. Karah and her wife Diane wanted to provide a safe space to highlight the trans community in Toronto.

Happy Pride!

Happy #Pride weekend #Toronto, have a fun safe weekend!

A photo of CNTower with Pride colours adorning it on cold winters day which is celebrating 50 years today. I remember it being built and seeing it take over the skyline. #Toronto #Photography #CNTower #Canada #Winter #Night povtoronto.ca/2026/06/26/c...

Happy 50th to our beloved CN Tower! 1/2

Anyways, here's some coverage by the CBC on Toronto City Council voting in favour of expanding car-free streets! I'm at the end (2:09) talking about how the city is too risk-averse and that every other major city in the world has figured out pedestrianization –– and we can too!

For whatever I missed…

Pride isn't just one thing. However you celebrate this weekend, I hope it's a good one.

On this date in 1976, the CN Tower officially opened. Happy 50th Birthday!

Did an interview on Tuesday with CBC about the Church Street pilot! Apparently it airs sometime today and might be a news article too :)
