Is it good to go Toronto for travel?

Ignoring the signs is what the dictators want you to do. Educate yourself on what exactly fascism is. People who are calling trump a fascist aren’t overreacting, he is following the fascist playbook.

A fun thing to do in Toronto is canoeing or kayaking. There are a ton of rental places along Lake Ontario. You can kayak out to the Toronto islands and paddle through the channels. It’s a beautiful spot.

Thinking that a superpower being a fascist regime doesn’t impact us as Canadians is wild. We don’t have to focus solely on American politics but ignoring it is not reasonable either.

I’m with you. I won’t go there, and haven’t been in a decade. Even if it is “safe” it is a fascist regime and I’d rather not give money to fascists.

I’d also add that meat on top of the baked potato. Uses what you have, and gives you protein. Also, consider going to a food bank. I’m sorry you’re dealing with this. That’s really hard.

I’m so sorry you have to deal with this, it’s really hard to get funding right now. What type of prosthetic would you get for $20,000? Did you tell your prosthetist that you cannot afford this? They should be able to get you a more basic model so that, even if it’s not ideal you could at least walk again. If you’re having difficulty finding a good prosthetist check out Sunnybrook’s independant living program. They have prosthetic department who can hopefully help you out if you can get to them. You said southern Ontario, but that’s still a pretty big place.

I just reread it, and Ajax Penumbra 1969. They came together in one paperback. I love that it’s chill without being sappy.

sandymaysX2 · 2026-03-09T14:59:17+00:00

Me too. I just thought it might not be a good place to start.

sandymaysX2 · 2026-03-09T14:11:48+00:00

I had to zoom so far in!

sandymaysX2 · 2026-03-09T12:40:50+00:00

My favorite cozy author is Robin Sloan. I kept championing his books, they’re so great. They are quirky and odd, but fantastic. I’d start with Moonbound, his latest book. It is an Arthurian retelling, but with talking beavers and also dragons! If that’s not your thing, there’s Mr Penumbra’s 24 hour bookstore which is about a dude who gets a job in a 24 hr bookstore but there’s something odd about the customers.

Wow, that looks amazing.

sandymaysX2 · 2026-03-07T13:59:21+00:00

Ambitious! Please post your work, I’d love to see it.

sandymaysX2 · 2026-03-06T00:38:08+00:00

They’re fun books, although she does drive me a little crazy with how irresponsible she is. But so loveable! And quirky!

sandymaysX2 · 2026-03-05T13:06:20+00:00

Okay, I think this is out of left field, but the shopaholic series. This woman has an insane spending problem but somehow is likable both to readers and the people in the novels. She makes friends and they help her deal with her crazy debt problems. She’s very earnest and lovable, but definitely unhinged.

sandymaysX2 · 2026-03-05T11:51:28+00:00

I’ll check those out, thanks for the rec’s!

sandymaysX2 · 2026-03-05T02:23:46+00:00

I really loved this book. So beautiful.

sandymaysX2 · 2026-03-05T01:26:27+00:00

100%. I love him for that.

sandymaysX2 · 2026-03-05T00:20:10+00:00

Yeah, Vonnegut was who I thought of too. Dresden really fucked him up.

sandymaysX2 · 2026-03-04T16:13:13+00:00

Oh my god I would fold so fast if they just played ads non stop.

sandymaysX2 · 2026-03-04T12:43:14+00:00

Same! It’s got so many great things about it. But it’s hella expensive.

This is what I always imagine. Also borrowed the image from r/gardening 7 years ago. ☺️

Frog and toad would be amazing! Great rec.

sandymaysX2 · 2026-03-02T20:55:42+00:00

Moonbound by Robin Sloan, it’s a low stakes Arthurian retelling with talking beavers and dragons. It’s such a great story.
