In case you think I’m joshing, this Ray and me with our high school Canadian Literature teacher Ms Gloria Ross. I spy writer Vanessa Stauffer in the background. Photo by Canadian artist Laurie Langford. ♥️

In Chatham on Friday night, Ray’s scheduled interviewer was a no-show. Luckily, we were having a wee 40th high school reunion, so our very funny friend Brad stepped in. That is, the Rev Dr Brad Morrison. A saint and a sinner walk into a bar…

Jason Bryden’s fab web series Kensington Diner is an instant classic, and a beautiful love letter to Toronto.

Just look at my majestic pal Amy Matysio on that big Paradise Theatre screen! She killed it!

Excellent night out in support of the WEP, @davebidini.bsky.social.
In a still from the web series Kensington Diner, actor Amy Matysio stares off, with the CN Tower in the distance, and a sign that reads, “Kensington.”

Uh, I wouldn’t lend this current administration my favourite pen, let alone let them have my photo and fingerprints. Not ever.
A Toronto Star headline reads, “Under new rule, Canadians should prepare to be photographed at US border.”

Okay Toronto, my dearest birthplace: it’s time to rally the flock.

If you’ve never had the pleasure of seeing the magnificent @ronsexsmith.bsky.social in concert, do yourself a favour and buy tickets right now. He’s an absolute stunner.

Incredible night of music, and a fab night out with @christinebuchanan.bsky.social!

#Toronto #music pals: this is gonna be a good time. Ray’s my brother from another mother, and a very fine writer, especially about music he digs. Come out!
A book cover shows, Ray Robertson’s “DUST, More Lives of the Poets with Guitars.” An event listing reads: Book launch, Thursday, November 6, 7pm at The Mezz, 1546 Queen St W Toronto. Performance by Staig & Billings, moderated by Alan Zweig.

An excerpt from the article reads, “A self-described Katy Perry super fan isn’t particularly pleased former Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau is making fireworks with his pop idle.”

TIFF + my fave writer is a winner. Loved Steve directed by Tim Mielants, with Cillian Murphy, Jay Lycurgo & and an amazing cast (Emily Watson!!), written by Max Porter. Watch for it on Netflix in October.

Also, from Air Canada’s website. So, maybe just pay your employees fairly so shit like this doesn’t happen in the first place.
A screenshot from Air Canada’s website: record operating revenues of $5,404 billion for the 4th quarter, 4% higher year over year. Record operating revenues of $22.255 billion for the full year 2024, 2% higher year over year.

Check out my friend Don at Pebble Beach in the 1924 Hispano-Suiza H6C ‘tulipwood’ Torpedo he restored with his team at RM.

Magnificent!

Well so what, because we Canadians have flushed our expectations down the loo re: having a neighbouring country not helmed by a greasy fascist sex pest.
A CP headline reads, “Trump lowers expectations of trade deal with Canada, gives 90-day delay to Mexico. Kelly Geraldine Malone, The Canadian Press, July 31, 2025. An accompanying photo shows a clammy-looking Trump with the rusty skin of a poorly-applied self-tanner. His pie hole is wide open, but his heavily-lidded froggy eyes, not so much.

Watching one of my sweet hummingbird buddies fill his tummy before bed.

If you want to support queer and trans musicians during pride and always, go to their shows. Buy their merch. Share their gig posters. And show up.

Banging 6 band show in Waterloo last night. Amazing queercore/punk community spirit.
A leaflet with pink and teal graphics and text: Public Seating DIY Presents: fundraiser show for shore centre, Iowa trans mutual aid fund, trans resistance network. Boxcutter, Body Nest, Human Form, Sullen, Gutmachine, One More Lane. Two cassette tapes feature Gutmachine and Human Form.
