Tonight’s 15-Minute Peanut Noodles, a staple at our house. Recipe from 𝘍𝘶𝘴𝘴-𝘍𝘳𝘦𝘦 𝘝𝘦𝘨𝘢𝘯 by Sam Turnbull. #vegan #plantbased #noodles #Veganuary

That explains it. #WorkLife

Because your fridge sucks. #StayTrashy #raccoon #Whirlpool

Keep telling the truth. Thank you to Stephen Colbert and everyone at The Late Show.

Every year, I can’t wait until this cherry tree on my walk to Bloor West Village explodes. ❤️🌸 #CherryBlossoms #spring #flowers #blooms #BloorWestVillage

Fuzzy things … (1/2) #CanadaGeese #chicks #HighPark #Toronto

How it started; how it’s going. (Actually, the photo of the rhubarb is 𝘢𝘧𝘵𝘦𝘳 I picked a pound for the strawberry-rhubarb pie.) #backyard #rhubarb #pie

First backyard lilacs bouquet of the season. #lilac #spring #flowers #blooms #Toronto

Thanks, Queen Victoria! #cheers #beers #HappyVictoriaDay #VictoriaDay #Canada 🇨🇦

No, no—you’re not being stereotypical at all. There are a lot of chipmunks in High Park right now. (1/2) #chipmunks #wildlife #UrbanWildlife #HighPark #Toronto

Enjoying my life choices. #GoodGangIceCream

#HappyVictoriaDay! Because when you think of #QueenVictoria, you think “happy.” #VictoriaDay #LongWeekend #Canada 🇨🇦

My tulips are going out with a bang! #tulips #spring #flowers #blooms

We came upon a small patch of trilliums. Please tell Doug Ford that they look nothing like three men in a hot tub. #trillium #wildflower #flowers #Ontario

My favourite Iced Berry Tea Lemonade is back at Coffee Tree Roastery! And I got a moment to admire more of Max Lorenz’s artwork in the back. ❤️ #art #cafe #BloorWestVillage #ShopLocalToronto

An excellent brunch, as always, at The Revy in #Peterborough. Still missing the former Toronto location. #vegan #plantbased #Veganuary

Rain? Yes! Thunder? You bet! Still beautiful? Absolutely! A look at all that was “Blooming in Bloor West Village” today. (1/5) ❤️🌸🌼 Floral Bike Artist: @allisoriginals #BloorWestVillage #spring #blooms #flowers

I guess China will now take away America’s hockey. #Trump

Our neighbour’s backyard crabapple is blooming. Maybe spring really is here. 🌸 (Around half the branches come over the fence to our side, which we love. As do the rabbits that chow down on fallen apples in autumn.) #spring #flowers

Oh we got you, little merlin! Shot with an iPhone through a telescope. #merlin #raptors #birds #wildlife #OntarioWildlife

I just read #WhatWeCanKnow by #IanMcEwan, the #Colbert Late Show Book Club selection for October 2025. Though I found the characters’ lives over-the-top, the mystery of the lost poem and the lessons of historical correlation & conjecture are fascinating. Thoughts & quotes ⬇️. #books

Tonight’s Roasted Buffalo Cauliflower Mac & Cheese. Haven’t made this one in a while. Yum! #vegan #plantbased #Veganuary

Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms out there! 🌸 #MothersDay

𝘚𝘪𝘳 𝘋𝘢𝘷𝘪𝘥 𝘈𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘯𝘣𝘰𝘳𝘰𝘶𝘨𝘩, a collage portrait created by our son back in his Grade 10 Visual Arts course. Happy 100th birthday to this exceptional communicator of life and all that we are. #DavidAttenborough #Earth

One of my downtown favourites. #woodpeckers #sculpture #PublicArt #Toronto

It was Hump Day. 𝘔𝘦𝘨𝘢𝘱𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘢 by Georg Schmerholz (1993) #HumpbackWhales #whales #sculpture #publicart #Toronto

What the…. I clearly need to walk around downtown more. #cows #sculpture #PublicArt #Toronto

CAN FLUSH: Camera film, whipped cream, and tears. 👍 #washroom #signs

Tonight’s Coconut Curry Soup made with Salt+Mustard’s dry soup mix and added tofu, kale & edamame. A quick and tasty homemade dinner, served with toasted whole wheat bread. 😋 #vegan #plantbased #soup #BabyPoint #ShopLocalToronto

Two days ago, I found one of our backyard daffodils broken at the bud, so I placed it in a shot glass of water. This morning, 🌸. #daffodils #spring #flowers

Song of the night, oh for no reason. #LightningCrashes #MontrealCanadiens #Habs #NHLPlayoffs

My old wallet was falling apart; seemed like the right time to get this one. 🌸 #Vegan Espe Bags from Quipus Crafts in #BloorWestVillage. Proudly 🇨🇦. #wallets #MadeInCanada #ShopLocalToronto

A big shout-out to #TheGrillOnJane! This morning, our son asked for #FishAndChips for dinner, we said sure, time passed, the world turned, and then I noticed that it’s 3:50 p.m., and The Grill closes at 4. Uh-oh! I called and the wonderful cook told me that she could still do it. They’re the best.❤️

This morning’s protein bagel buns - caraway, poppy seed, black & white sesame, and everything. No kneading, no waiting for it to rise. So simple. Recipe from It Doesn’t Taste Like Chicken. #breakfast #vegan #plantbased #Veganuary

Dear @sabres.com: We ❤️ you. - signed Canada #BuffaloSabres #Buffalo #NHLPlayoffs

Beautiful day. #sunshine #flowers #forsythia #Toronto

I think our son has started taking mug shots of the squirrels. #squirrels #UrbanWildlife #wildlife #Toronto

Beautiful. The woman walking in front of me stopped to smell the star magnolias. #spring #flowers #magnolia #BabyPoint #Toronto

One can never have enough cat lip balm, apparently. #cats #lipbalm #decluttering

There were four of these, first flying over Bloor & Jane, then sitting on the roof at St. Pius X. My wildlife photographer friend says that they’re most likely turkey vultures. Given that intersection, good choice. #birds #TurkeyVulture #BloorWestVillage #Toronto

How do I love thee, @theonion.com? Let me count the ways. There’s also a mug here somewhere…. #TheOnion #cats #dogs #humans

Sometimes I feel like, when I show up at the #TorontoPublicLibrary in my blue summer bucket hat, cat’s eye sunglasses, purple sneakers, and raccoon-on-a-Toronto-garbage-bin hoodie, they look at me and think, “She’s our people.” #library #books #Toronto

Our son just finished his last exam, so I picked him up a treat of his favourites from #MachinoDonuts. #vegan #plantbased #BloorByThePark #ShopLocalToronto

(📢 on.) Look, I’m no fan of the Florida Panthers, but I do find myself saying, “RRROW-RRROW-RRROWWW!” whenever any team scores during these playoffs. #FloridaPanthers #NHLPlayoffs

All class on the neighbour’s roof. And she’s a she. We’ve named her Buddy. As in, “Hey, Buddy - whatcha doin’?” #raccoons #UrbanWildlife #wildlife #Toronto #EarthDay @tabathasouthey.bsky.social

Happy #EarthDay to all those who celebrate. Please take a moment to appreciate our beautiful, life-sustaining world. Then go back to trashing it tomorrow. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

I just read #Persepolis 2: 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘚𝘵𝘰𝘳𝘺 𝘰𝘧 𝘢 𝘙𝘦𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘯 (2004) by #MarjaneSatrapi. Both 1 & 2 are autobiographical graphic novels that shed some light on life both in Iran and as an Iranian. Much of this still resonates today. Thoughts ⬇️ & excerpts ⬇️⬇️. (1/2) #books

Life imitates art on the hoodie that I’m wearing as I witness life. #raccoon #Toronto
