#toronto Random acts of bread.

A subway concourse in Toronto. A hand sanitizer dispenser sits next to a large column covered in a blue and black tile mosaic. A loaf of sourdough bread is left on the hand sanitizer.

If anyone in #Toronto is looking for a sweet #cat boy in need of a new home, consider Marcelo! He is 2.5 year old. His current people are doing a long distance move and are unable to bring him with them.

I don’t know his current family, but can relay any questions you have to my friend who does.

A Siamese cat is sitting under a chair with his tail wrapped around his paws. He is staring straight at the camera and has crossed eyes.

Did you know that the Toronto Zoo used to run a monorail (ish)?

The 5.6km transit system closed down in 1994. However the concrete structure that supported the rail is still around in the middle of the forest near Scarborough/Rouge Park.

I knew it was reachable because of an old reddit post and also because we can see it from Google Maps.

But I didn't know "how" to get there. So with a few friends we decided to find out

💛 Artist: #ALFALFA + #LaPupila #TheDreamers in City: #Toronto /6, Peel Ave / Kanada 🇨🇦 10/2024 - Title: "Breaking the borders" (No one in the world is illegal) - #Art #Streetart #Artist #Immigrants #Borders #Mural

Streetartwall. An impressive mural with a message has been painted on the outside wall of a flat house. The wall is divided into the colors light yellow (top) and purple (bottom) and shows the head of a dark-haired girl behind a wire fence. The fingers of her hand are clutching the wire. The head of an oversized gray bird is also pecking at the wire from the right, creating a hole in the fence. In the center above this hole is written in purple: "No one in the world is illegal" The mural was created by several artists in unusual painting styles. The girl is reminiscent of Art Nouveau ladies and the large bird is reminiscent of charcoal drawings from old zoology books. Beautiful.
Info: The Artists: "A reminder to blame governments, landlords and billionaires for todays crisis, not immigrants".

Just finished a workshop using https://codeberg.org/nickmontfort/frag — a *very* short program to not only explain some about Markov chain generation, but also to allow people to use different documents for generation, try different parameters, and make modifications to the code.

It seems that people here in #Toronto (the GTA; actually Univ of Waterloo) at the #ELO25 conference had fun!
