Selfie of me, walking down the street in a navy blue hoodie and white corded headphones in my ears, as the sun arcs across my face.

screenshot of 1989 video game β€œa nightmare on elm street”. view from above of a street lined by houses, freddy krueger is following the character the player controls. text along the bottom says: β€œfind freddy’s house, before he finds you!”. it’s scary as hell bro.

omg. yeah. i loved it even though it really scared me. much like the 1989 nightmare on elm street game (especially the start when freddy is chasing you). totally obsessed with both.

(long🧡) Watching some gays & lesbians celebrate that heinous UK Court ruling against trans women has me again thinking about how little most gay people know about their own history. No, I'm not rehashing if trans people were at Stonewall (they were). I'm talking about the long arc of what it even...

Photograph outside a University of Toronto building. Two identical yellow lawn signs stick out of the ground, one in the foreground, one in the background. Both have black text saying: β€œElections Canada VOTE” and an arrow underneath pointing towards the entrance (and the future).

Photograph of downtown Toronto at dusk looking out at Gerrard Street West from College Park. At the centre of the scene a car sits with its headlights on surrounded by lit up buildings.

Photograph of the exterior of Cecil Community Centre in Toronto. Snow is piled up on either side of the stairway leading to the front door. A bright yellow sign sticks out of the snow saying: VOTE.

A photograph, taken from above of a large fluffy cat stretched out on his back. Sun streams in and casts shadows on the wooden laminate floor. On the right side of the frame is a single dualshock controller connected to a Playstation 2 gaming console. Behind that is a spider plant sitting on a VHS tape of The Earth Day Special.

The ice rink at Nathan Phillips Square in Toronto lit up at night. In the distance the headlights of a Zamboni reflect off the ice as it smooths the surface. Figures in silhouette watch and wait patiently.
