It finally happened. I found a queer bipoc director-mentor who took a chance on me and y'all...I directed an episode of network tv!!!!
(for a QUEER show!!)! 😭

[tobi a. @toe_bee]

@BikeShareTO OK ya but the day in question 😂. I've never seen Exhbition Place so stressed. Mf-ers were throwing bikes into trees. It was so beyond comical I couldn't be frustrated (even though I missed 80/90 minutes of the TFC match looking for an open dock, eventually found one 3.1km away)

It’s legal drinking in (some) parks day and we are in Earlscourt Park to kick it off. Will the city provide champagne?

@notjoshhart I'm in a farm incubator at Downsview and growing a bunch of stuff on a 1/8 acre. Decided one laborious career wasn't enough!!

[tobi a. @toe_bee]

I started a farm! Find my veggies at cabbagetown farmers market + farm stands around Toronto. That's it, this is my launch.

(Farmers are not good at social media leave me alone)

[Jamie @TransitThinker]

After a year of design, I've finally completed my fantasy transit map of the Greater Toronto Area!

I tried to keep things realistic (but, yes there are some silly things!) Let me know what you think

[Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor @KeeangaYamahtta]

there is literally nothing left to write about police abuse and violence. Abolish the police.

[ellie schnitt @holy_schnitt]

I need an accountant for my taxes who is unethical enough that I get the maximum refund and pay the minimum amount but not so unethical that I end up in jail. y’all know anyone?

[Kathleen Newman-Bremang @KathleenNB]

[tobi a. @toe_bee]

Me.

[Peyday ✧★$☘︎✰❤︎✧ @Peyton]

I love when girls shake their ass so brilliantly for 3 seconds and then be like I’m shy and stop

[BeadsAgainstFascism 🇵🇸 @beadagainstfash]

I think the fact that unhoused folks in toronto have just organized and established the Toronto Homeless Union should be getting far more attention. This is massive and historic.

[tobi a. @toe_bee]

the story producers in UnREAL, truly unhinged.

(especially since I had been working on The Bachelor Canada that year...)

[tobi a. @toe_bee]

[Damn Write Originals @DWOriginals]

ARE YOU DONE WITH YOUR SCRIPT? ….because you’re on Twitter like you’re done with your script.

[tobi a. @toe_bee]

Recently moved (same riding) and showed up at the polls for my new address, 100+ people in line. Decided nah.

Drove a literal 3 minutes down the block to the polls I'm registered at on my license. ZERO line, 5 minutes in and out.
