Comments: (this is where I get to kvetch)
Please limit your comments to 300 words. (ha ha ha... they must know me!)

The wait for this bus today took about an hour. The only reason I took the Yonge bus and not the subway is because I was travelling with a stroller and both North York Centre and Eglinton stations are inaccessible. The delay - and the inaccessibility - is completely unacceptable considering these are such important and central locations. Our round-trip travel time was over 3 hours for a 1/2 hour swimming lesson - no wonder I arrived home exhausted with two children in tears. Next time, I will have no choice but to drive - for $2.50 in parking, it's cheaper than the TTC, too (two adult fares, two child fares). How awful that it's impossible to travel around town in an environmentally-friendly and family-friendly way.

Please be assured that your comments will be directed to the appropriate area in the TTC for staff review and any action deemed necessary. Your input is greatly appreciated.

Are Jews an "underrepresented community" in children’s publishing?

I applied for a writing award yesterday. I'm not going to get it, but that's not what I wanted to share with you. Here's what I wanted to share. This box:   I stared at this box for a long, long time. And then I decided not to check it. Even though I believe people like me truly are underrepresented, we probably wouldn’t fit the definition in other people's minds. Why? Well, because we're European. Because we are white. Because as everybody knows, Jews control the media. (do we???) If anything, some people say, Jews are over -represented in publishing. And yet. Some definitions are careful not to include people like me. Like this random definition from the State of California which defines underrepresented for some very specific business purposes as: "an individual who self-identifies as Black, African American, Hispanic, Latino, Asian, Pacific Islander, Native American, Native Hawaiian, or Alaska Native, or who self-identi
