- Taking my niece to Toronto on a college tour, and I’d like some updated recommendations for restaurants and such. I love the Beguiling and Le Swan, as a reference point. Also Aunties and Uncles was a favorite. Any suggestions for a future architecture and design student and her gay writer uncle?
- Any recommendations on books about the history of Toronto, or the present? Classic Toronto novels or short story collections, essay collections, memoirs?
- @cdnhistoryehx.bsky.social is also an excellent source for TO history.
- I've learned that "Fruit by the Foot" is called "Fruit Winders" in countries that use the metric system, and that feels like the coward's way out if you ask me
- [Not loaded yet]
- Wouldn't it dissolve, though? The furlong is right there.
- I’m surprised we’re not measuring it by the amount of time it takes to eat one. Should be “Fruit by, oh, about five minutes.”
- After you turn left at the Timmy's.
- This dog isn’t lost. He’s stealing your girlfriend.
- My breeders being “horny dogs somewhere in Utah”
- "Breeders" that make dogs that shouldn't exist breed "purebred" medical nightmares, not supermutts. 🤦♀️
- You know the rules.
- TIKI!!! 😭🎉😭🎉 #IYKYK
- I need that TikTok of the family flipping out because the new pope was their mom's youthful situationship to be true, because what a LEGENDARY story to tell literally everyone you ever talk to again. 😂
- I cannot believe no one in my family has found their connection to his family yet (a great aunt is DIGGING through her archives 😄)
- And it sounds like his family’s from all over. Like Louisiana Creole?
- Heh. A couple with a small dog stopped to watch Statler and I cross a section of the park, right through a flock of Canada geese. I think they were expecting some entertainment, but nothing happened. Now they get to think that I am a powerful dog- and goose-whispering sorceress. 😂
