The cool thing about waking up at 4am every day is by 11:30am you’ve lived a whole day and are ready for dinner.

Golden hour at Grange Park this week

Naturally, this comic doesn’t apply to me because I am of course still solidly in my 30s and always will be

Reprehensible actions by Alberta Premier Danielle Smith using a tool that allows her govt the ability to override sections of the Canadian Charter of Rights & Freedoms to enact blatantly discriminatory & dangerous laws that, among other actions, limit healthcare options for trans youth.

This Thursday Nov 20 I’ll be at Cafe Zuzu’s Holigay Party in Regent Park, which includes a bunch of queer artists (me!), drag, music and maybe even prizes I think? Anyway you should come. It’s free but you can register a spot. www.eventbrite.ca/e/queer-east...

What the and I mean this in the best way possible fuck

Last day to get 25% off any of my prints. Including the Imperial Pub which closes for good today!! Jaketobin.ca/shop

We interrupt your regularly scheduled Saturday morning comic to bring you an important message from @arianagrande via her Vanity Fair lie detector interview. 🌍

So glad to see City Council allow corner stores & retail in residential areas at least in the downtown and surrounding n’hoods. Better than nothing. Also…*whispers* maybe not every policy has to be conceived of for citywide? Maybe community councils should be more empowered to decide policy?

Tonight’s sunset 🥹

I’m having a Toronto print sale! Everything is 25% off until end of the day Friday Nov 14! Discount auto-applied at checkout. Jaketobin.ca/shop

So many Torontonians love to praise cities they travel to (the plazas! the food culture! the joie de fucking vivre!) and then fight tooth & nail against the things that would enable them to happen here.

Ok Toronto people time to write to your councillor if you support n’hood retail options and tell them to support @joshmatlow.bsky.social’s motion at council this week.

Toronto snowstorm

More parties in greenhouses this winter pls

New game just dropped: 4am or 4pm?

An evening walk in condo city

Toronto traffic is kinda pretty when you’re not in it

Just burnt myself ironing a shirt in case you’re wondering how much of a functioning adult I am

*curb your enthusiasm theme*

Another maddening move by Doug Ford meddling in Toronto where his govt has quietly killed the city's 15 year old green roof bylaw—an industry-leading bylaw that has been copied in cities around the world & helps reduce stormwater runoff & building energy use/costs, as per @thestar.com.

A client who recently commissioned two drawings—his Toronto building & him & his husband on a barn swing—sent me a photo of a gallery wall at his house with the new pieces & a bunch of my prints 🥹🥹

Joined a cult last night (Started watching Andor)

Daylight saving time is the societal version of an annual subscription you don’t use anymore & every year you’re like oh yeah I should really cancel that but then you don’t & are just like oh well maybe next year.

🎶 It’s the most wonderful time of the yeeeaaar 🎶

Disappointed to see Toronto’s planning committee not support small-scale retail in n’hoods in their ever growing quest it seems to suck all the charm out of the city. Corner stores & cafes next to houses? The horror.

Tattoo season well underway 😌

Name a hornier book

Oh I see someone found the extrude function on SketchUp

Oh hi, gradient

Gays love to link hands with twelve people & cross the dancefloor like they're kindergarteners on a field trip & I think that's beautiful.

Some end of day photos from yesterday right before I missed the King streetcar because I was at the wrong stop & apparently you need a phD to understand the TTC’s route change signage.

On this week’s episode of Chat More With Strangers 🌺

Toronto looks poured in gold this morning

Being an adult is just trying to find what combination of pills, tablets, tinctures, creams, oils, and edibles will help you sleep.

Hitting like a ray of sun on Strachan Avenue, it’s Pennies! This place always makes me happy when I bike by & so I just had to add it to my Toronto bar series. Now available as a print at 8x10 or 5x7. Original ink & watercolour also available. Buy it here: jaketobin.ca/shop/product...

Is that bad

Oh I see sports was sportsing in Toronto last night

When I say “no worries” I am actually this emoji 🫠

Convinced the tiles at Lionel-Groulx Station get their colour palette from the squash booth at Marché Atwater

Heading back to Toronto today after decamping to Montreal for the week for a change of scenery. Montreal's got a special kinda energy. This is a city that knows how to live in its spaces, big or small. Streets, parks, sidewalks, all those tiny balconies. Everything bursts here, in a good way.

Bonjour from Montreal

Going to see Horse Meat Disco has become a gay thanksgiving tradition in Toronto & this year's no different. Before tonight's party, here's the scene last year when they played Dprtmnt.

Ok tonight’s sunset was *chef’s kiss*

Me trying to find a comfortable reading position at the beach

A tradition I literally just learned about in my family is that when you turn 40 your name & birth date are embroidered on this ancient Canucks jersey that is 43 yrs old (!) so just got it from my mom today & it's probably the only time I will wear a real sports jersey.

Why is this every city sign

Made a new friend today. Her name is Macadamia & yes she did feel like a cloud.

Take your mom to Biidaasige Park day.
