Ronaldo scored a goal in Toronto! I demand a city heritage plaque.

A day out with the smartest and most beautiful niece. Thanks to Don and D & E Lake bookstore for always being delightful and making his space an integral fixture, inclusive, and educational space in Toronto.

Osteo-arthritic pain on high today. Knee braces and meds help. Cuz I gotta be 100%. Took part of the day off for a requested day date with my beautiful niece. 🥳

Distant petrichor. Better be a good one. ☔

NIGHT POPSICLE

Walking hone and watching people glued to outdoor patio world cup screens and in malls...community is beautiful. I love my city.

Old skater boi boyfriend is taking me to see JACKASS: Best and Last. I am not a fan. But to him it's big nostalgia, (Vans wear used him in a mag campaign skating as a kid in Cape Town). I am wondering if popcorn is a good idea. 🍿

Finished Thomas Hardy's (my current obsession) Far from the Madding Crowd, as I've been reading it in pieces and got a surge this weekend. I am quite verklempt.

Feeling the dirty heat wave/climate change/we're all gonna die, let's find a patio today. Pulling out the appropriate gear. 😈

Here I am, enjoying a great playlist on a summer day when Tidal serves up this weird title. Brain goes BONK. Then I went on a Mandela Effect hole and yes, it is Commercial RAIN. That is all.

Well done Canada. And so well done South Africa. You both made history and both did us proud. 🇨🇦 ⚽️ 🇿🇦

Working, but listening and partially watching it from my balcony. ⚽️

I have very mixed feelings about today's VERY IMPORTANT world cup game. ⚽

Even tho we advanced, I'm still effed up about the goal Colombia was robbed of yesterday. And yet Ronaldo was enable to score.

I love this. So true!

I made cinnamon sugar bread. Perfect for apple grilled cheese sandwiches.

ICYMI: Wait: FM radio is being excluded from vehicles now? Yes. And the reason is insidious. #musicnews

"Therein lies the frustration for this administration: even as it seeks to rewrite the rules on who can and can’t be an American, diversity remains inseparable from national identity." Great piece. www.theguardian.com/football/202...

Doing our thing. A visit to our fishhmonger and breadmaking supply run.

My Friday night. ❤️

Isabella Wang needs the community behind her right now. She is at risk of homelessness if she is unable to heal and work. She is the sole breadwinner of her household. chuffed.org/project/1880...

Oh! Final season of THE BEAR. Fuck yeah!

Other than having a meditation practice, going back and watching Anthony Bourdain in his many shows (episodes I've missed yes even the game show The Taste), has kicked parts of myself that needed kicking and change. This ep is all his childlike awe www.youtube.com/watch?v=wHGV... #BourdainDay

Back from an office clean. Good thing about them is that I get to go home to work again, at my own desk, but at least I'm at home. 🧹💻

‘If Abelardo de la Espriella stands for anything, it is 𝘶𝘳𝘪𝘣𝘪𝘴𝘮𝘰reloaded, a merger of narco-paramilitarism with the state: that is what “refounding the country” means in the far-right lexicon.’ New: Forrest Hylton on the winner of Colombia’s presidential election. www.lrb.co.uk/blog/2026/ju...

And THAT’S why you don’t WUTHER on the HEIGHTS

I haven't had much time to read lately, but this has been good to dive into when I can. The ENG vs GHA is on the screen (sunny!)

Make this happen, cowards.

I wish every writer the relief of knowing someone is reading your work, instead of the anxiety of where it is in the slush pile.

Excellent analysis of the island airport jet proposal by UofT Professor Emeritus of Management Sandford Borins, including the fact that Pearson can ultimately handle 100 million passengers!

Earlier I stuck James' Getting Away With It in my boyfriend's head. His revenge today: Sisqó's The Thong Song stuck in my head.

"Fuck You, Pay Me" is a phrase most associated with Harlan Ellison, although many other writers have echoed the sentiment including me. I did write an essay a number of years ago in which "Fuck You, Pay Me" is prominent, and here it is for future reference: whatever.scalzi.com/2012/12/09/a...

Gotta love it when people get their racism wrong with me.

‘Maxim Gorky was the designated mourner for a vanished moment in Russian culture. He wanted socialism or democracy but he no longer wanted Bolshevism, which seemed to him psychopathically preoccupied with power.’ Adam Thirlwell on Gorky, Tolstoy and Chekhov: www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v4...

Estranged from extended fam cuz of the right wing influx in Colombia. They're anti-immigration as if they weren't immigrants here. I'm closer today to my immediate fam here who became socialist over time because they believe their country would be better if it worked for everyone, not just the rich

The hate and right wing trend against good things and socialism is the same fight Colombians are fighting tonight. You can guess which guy is what by these pics.

There's a coffee vending machine at Dufferin Station. Just thought you should know. #Toronto

Today's terrasse.

Even though my tiny apartment has a small galley kitchen practically in the living room, everyone still made it a kitchen party. 💛❤️

Tres palabras: costa de marfil.

I see Côte d'Ivoire has entered the chat. ⚽

Just gave directions in French! Ohohoho. 🥐
