Toronto’s streets are full of junk, and what’s more fun than scavenging for things you may or may not need? Here are my five favourite finds from the Toronto sidewalk. Illustrations by William Ahn.
A pile of puke with a half-digested chocolate bar wrapper in it, Wednesday afternoon.
A pumpkin labelled “steal this pumpkin,” paying homage to Abbie Hoffman.
A dirty backpack spread open smack in the middle of Huron, bearing two latex gloves, a bottle of lube, and a knife.
A black plastic water bottle in the shape of a veiny, uncircumcised penis, 1L.
A bidet, 3.8L.
We would like to acknowledge that The Varsity's office is built on the traditional territory of several First Nations, including the Huron-Wendat, the Petun First Nations, the Seneca, and most recently, the Mississaugas of the Credit. Journalists have historically harmed Indigenous communities by overlooking their stories, contributing to stereotypes, and telling their stories without their input. Therefore, we make this acknowledgement as a starting point for our responsibility to tell those stories more accurately, critically, and in accordance with the wishes of Indigenous peoples.
