Josh Matlow stood up for city residents when he pointed out that park bathrooms and water fountain services in Toronto were dismal. That's why he's being punished. You know, for doing his job as a city councillor.
Integrity commissioner has found Coun. Josh Matlow violated council's code of conduct by criticizing staff in social media posts, and is recommending council suspend his pay for 10 days secure.toronto.ca/council/ag…

it broke my brain a little when i saw peers congratulating someone for landing a job at spotify. so i unpacked those feelings and wrote about how precarity undermines our ability for collective action, and what we as journalists can do to resist that. newfeeling.ca/2023/02/22/wou…

I wonder if @jeffrosenstock and @laurastevenson are still looking for an opener for those February shows? 🤔

This is wild. Very speechless.

I don't know how anyone in Toronto can look at the current state of things and think Tory's leadership is acceptable, let alone electable. today I'm voting for @Penalosa_G in hopes of bringing 8 years of austerity, dysfunctionality and unaccountability to an end.

I talked @MattBobkin’s ear off and now I’m a punk historian.
Anyone wanna give me an honorary musicology degree?
