Amazing civic leadership from ex-Shopify leaders right now.
Thank you
@adammcnamara
@brandonmchu
@SabiVM
@craigmillr
for being first to step up to protect our most important science institution for young minds.
If it’s about funds, the funds are here.
Your move,
@fordnation
.
Craig & I wondered if can put together a ex-Shopify collective to raise funds.
We will happily contribute up to 1 million dollars if it means the science centre remains where it is permanently.

Besides Toronto, I’ve lived in Montreal, NYC, and Bangkok. I’ve travelled to many more. Every place has issues.
Choose to:
- Leave, and deal with *different* issues, or
- Stay, and make a difference where you are
I’ve chosen the latter. I love Toronto.
Toronto is my favorite city in the world. I feel lucky to call it home.

To justify moving the Ontario Science Centre, our premier just described its current location, Flemington Park, as “a sleepy little neighbourhood in the suburbs that no one goes to.”
Doug Ford has no facts.
#TOpoli
Premier Doug Ford suggests the current Ontario Science Centre is in the wrong location:
The new OSC at Ontario Place, Ford says will be in the "right location, not in a sleepy little neighbourhood in the suburbs that no one goes to."

Big 5 personality traits are strong predictors of life satisfaction. The test is free and takes ~10min:
Results for each trait are broken down to sub-traits. I like specifics as prompts for introspection and self-improvement.
The Big 5 personality traits strongly predict life satisfaction (r = .8 - one of the largest effects I’ve seen in a psychology paper).

Day 14 of egg freezing. The end! 🥹
After 6 months of planning and two weeks of hormone injections, I’ve crossed the finish line and just finished my egg retrieval surgery.
30 y.o average:
- 15 retrieved
- 11 frozen
My results:
- 34 retrieved

Day 12 of egg freezing. Bloodwork, ultrasounds, and happy nurses.
We love science.

Had the best time learning about Toronto’s ravines; the largest ravine system of any city in the world. Thank you
@mattyj612
🥹
12,000 years ago, all of Toronto was covered in a mile-high glacier. Over time, the earth warmed and the glacier began to melt. For centuries, fast-rushing glacial water carved out enormous valleys, leaving Toronto with the largest ravine system of any city in the world.

An elegant Toronto apartment building with beautifully functional 4-bedroom layouts. 🥹
Belle of midtown: 150 Balmoral Ave is the epitome of gracious apartment living. Completed in 1969, this coveted address contains only 30 spacious, 2 to 4 bedroom units from 1,500 to 1,900 sq ft. We don’t build them like this any more.

Which products have drastically improved quality of life for your aging loved ones?
I’ll go first:
Gas-assisted pull-down shelving.
I got these for my grandparents’ kitchen. They enable access (and independence!) without demanding strain or risking falls.

Who’s raising the bar for industrial design of wheelchairs, ramps, stair lifts, grab bars, etc? The Dyson/Rams/Eames etc of mobility, safety, and home accessibility?
The status quo isn’t good enough.
Designers, educators, labs, Kickstarters, companies. Any country. Any budget.

Rezoning typically takes between 6 months and 2 years.
But Toronto approved 2444 Eglinton’s rezoning in ONLY 2 MONTHS. 🎉
Amazing to see the city move fast on Ontario’s largest co-op housing project in 25 years. Thank you
@MayorOliviaChow
!
More info:
Ontario’s largest co-op housing development just passed another milestone. Yesterday, Toronto’s City Council adopted a zoning bylaw amendment to allow for next steps in the project, which will create 600+ co-op homes. Congrats to our partners
