@natweewriter tbh being present and respecting my feelings for what they are help me a lot!

what is helping you write/return to writing/art right now? Asking for myself; I haven't been able to read or write anything for nearly a year now and am trying to return to it but it's extremely difficult amidst mass grief

🚨 new substack post from yours truly!! 🚨 open.substack.com/pub/andrealacs…

I laugh when folks think I've been campaigning, losing sleep & fighting for all of our lives because I simply want some position in city hall - I am fighting for change, and every demographic that has been neglected is ready for change too. 6 more days #Toronto. #TOpoli

I hope everyone takes advantage of the sunlight this afternoon. Bring a friend, or family member to the poll with you today & make your voice heard. Vote #18 for me, let's take back #Toronto. #ToPoli

Period! Vote for @chloebrown4TO it’s time we vote for our best interests and not keeping it status quo twitter.com/lukevillemaire…

Inflation and rising living costs have left 13% of Toronto residents living below the poverty line — many of whom are our most vulnerable neighbours and community members. For families and individuals struggling to make ends meet, food insecurity is a reality of everyday life.

@natweewriter u did not make it easy hahahaha

@andrealacson_ thanks for keeping me alive during surgery so I could see this 😭😭💘

What a week of gratitude. So thrilled that Beast at Every Threshold has been longlisted alongside these superstars, and thankful to my lighthouse @byjaziimun and dream team @Arsenalpulp for making this possible 🫶

when will i be emotionally ready to watch everything everywhere all at once again????

i don’t wanna hear all this “canada has free healthcare” shit. there’s always been a class system to access health and now this dictator is allowing an even greater class divide

Hey #Toronto - just a reminder that voting day is tomorrow. Remember to check out myvote.toronto.ca to find your polling station and the right type of ID to bring with you. It's time to be the change that we want to see #CB4TO #VoteChloe

Ok pals. Monday is Election Day. It’s a weird one, but with the strong mayor effect, it’s supremely important. I liked Gil too but I can’t take him seriously after the island airport->park thing. But wow…@chloebrownTO is a force. She’s got my Vote. Smart. Caring. Passionate.

TORONTO WE NEED TO SHOW UP FOR @chloebrownTO ON THE 24TH!!! THIS CITY NEEDS COMPETENCY!!! WE DESERVE GOOD LEADERS

If this redistribution proposal goes thru, Johnny's, Parkway Mall, Wexford School of Arts, Bridlewood Mall, Golden Mile, parts of Agincourt, Lam, Maryvale & Wexford would be considered North York?!?!?!?

HOLD UP... WHAT?!?!?!

y'allllllll, i wrote a new post on my substack on the importance of actually taking a nice long break, and not feeling guilty for it!!! on vacations, by @andrealacson_ andrealacson.substack.com/p/on-vacations…

Newcomers and immigrant women are particularly vulnerable to domestic violence as they face a raft of challenges including language barriers, precarious immigration status and isolation that can prevent them from reaching out for help, experts say. thestar.com/news/gta/2022/…

@thisismaybezoe i love it!!!!!!!! ten thousand rounds of applause!!!

I was chatting with an unhoused man who's been bathing in a children's splash pad. It's the only running water he can find consistently available — public washrooms are sparse. He refills his thermos in the splash pad too because it's hot & he has trouble finding water to drink.

New from me: I got the inside story on the firing of Lisa LaFlamme. canadaland.com/bell-executive…
