Premier Doug Ford has yet again weighed in on the Toronto mayoral race, despite previously saying he was staying out of the election.
Ford delivered his most pointed endorsement to date for the candidacy of Mark Saunders, the former Toronto police chief and failed 2022 provincial Progressive Conservative candidate.
"We need someone that has experience dealing with crime," Ford said Friday when asked about the city's mayoral byelection during an unrelated news conference in Oshawa.
"I believe we need someone that has actually run an operation with a number of employees," Ford added. [...]

The last thing we need is a cop in charge. Toronto cops (like all cops) are a racist and oppressive colonial force and putting one in charge of the city will only make it a worse place to live as a person of colour.
We already deal with enough shit from the police. A former police chief as mayor will continue to increase police funding and put more cops on the street. Giving the police more power means increasing already high rates of police brutality and racial profiling.
jeremy fragrance was born with no perceivable scent and thus set out on a lifelong mission to capture and distill the very essence of humanity and create a perfume so divine that it would grant him godlike status among mortals, and after years of killing people and extracting their natural scent, he finally created it, but as soon as he poured it onto his body he was torn limb from limb and cannibalised by french peasants who believed they were in the presence of an angel walking the earth
yo mista white i just found this traumatized fourteen year old who is constantly being used by other people for their own ends and treated like an object. she seeks approval from older men in a self destructive way. she experiences suicidal tendencies and disregard for her own life. for some reason i relate to her lol. also she pilots a sick fucking robot just like in that new transformers movie
awesome. next i think yuengling should air a commercial with frotting in it and heineken should run a promotion where you get a free 12 pack if you let your homie hit
but they don't care about the burnout. everyone is burnt out, they tell me. who isn't burnt out!
the good news is they don't say depression is a choice as much anymore, but the symptoms for burn out and depression are so hand-in-hand that they are mirror images of each other. but depression is serious. you're not depressed, you're just whiny. they barely change the script - don't be lazy! burn out is for people with real problems. burn out can be resolved with some fun candles and a day off work. burn out only happens in adults - no kid can be burnt out, after all; they've barely even had a life to live!
do you have a roof over your head and a steady job? you're not burnt out. so what if every night you wake up with a panic attack frothing inside your chest. you're lucky your problems are small. get back into plants or into yoga. shut up about it.
rich people get burnt out and go to fancy places. they get burnt out in their fancy offices with their real-people problems. they get burnt out and hire an assistant to help them never burn out again. you don't have the money to burn out. you don't have the two weeks to recover in a local spa. the job you come back to will still be stressful and hard.
you find yourself often wondering - does nobody remember about the pandemic? it seems almost like a joke or a punchline. being burnt-out was okay "during" the pandemic. now that people are back to ignoring covid, burnout is just-an-excuse again.
you google how to know if it's seasonal affective disorder or burnout. you google how to know if it's anxiety or it's burnout from working. you google how to know if my depression is back or i'm burning out badly.
coming back from burnout just leaves you covered in ashes, not new growth. you struggle to get back basics, and then - you're just supposed to get back up and keep going. every day the amount of tasks you are able to do seems to dwindle even further - where does the time go? why is everything moving so-fast-and-yet-so-slow?
my therapist and i were talking about how many people had latent mental illnesses that were triggered by the pandemic. how depression can be environmental and situational. i am annoyingly logic-driven about my own recovery - i like to be sure i'm working on the "right" thing. i tell her i feel like i'm lying. that it just might be burnout, and i need to stop complaining. she asks me what words come to mind when i think of burning.
oh, i guess i see.
we casually ignore the violence of being left empty.

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.
I was reading something about Whitestown, Indiana and my eyes nearly popped out of my head thinking it was one of THOSE comically racist towns. Nice to know, at least the name, wasn’t that.
Racisttown, named after the abolitionist Stopbeing Racist,
Still obsessed with Arthur Conan Doyle’s letter to Bram Stoker gushing about how wonderful a book Dracula is, but particularly how it makes such a good template for leaving fic comments, so I’m gonna to a BREAKDOWN:
- Just say you loved reading it - “I am sure that you will not think it an impertinence if I write to tell you how very much I have enjoyed reading Dracula.”
- Comment on a detail of the craft or structure that impressed you - “It is really wonderful how with so much exciting interest over so long a book there is never an anticlimax.“
- Comment on how it emotionally affected you - “It holds you from the very start and grows more and more engrossing until it is quite painfully vivid.”
- SHARE YOUR BLORBO FEELINGS - “The old Professor is most excellent and so are the two girls.”
- Show appreciation for them as an author - “I congratulate you with all my heart for having written so fine a book.”
Next time you don’t know what to say on a fic you enjoyed, just use the ACD method~
Recap: I'm taking care of 2 boys (6 & almost 2) after the loss of their older brother (8) while their mom (my friend) Ash, is in a psychiatric hospital. I am also currently homeless, the boys and my pets are staying with a neighbor however they can't stay much longer. There is an apartment for rent for $920 no deposit required (it says $950 but landlord said it was a typo and is tryna get it fixed). I've been robbed and SA'd over the course of last week and most recently woke up with a knife to my neck. It's getting worse.
Several people have put in for the apartment but the landlord is giving me until Saturday to raise the last $530 for it or he has to go with someone else. Please share! I'm doingg reading and @scarsofbeauty is doing commissions to help!
$0/$530
$0/40
$265/$530
getting discharged from the hospital in a bit (another sa incident), the bus has stopped running for the afternoon. tryna get $40 for the ride so i don't have to use too much from the housing fund.

wednesday straps her brother into an electric chair

remember, it's imperative to turn your aesthetic preferences into moral ones. you can't just dislike neutral colors, or glass-and-steel skyscrapers, or flat design, they have to be symbols of neoliberal capitalism in decay. it's incredibly important that you make sure everybody knows that the only reason anyone could like the things you don't like is that they're an empty shell of a person.
Cookie run fans will be like "omg rainbow shard god cookie just dropped" like bestie they aren't cookies anymore they don't even look like cookies You are playing People Run
