    February 13, 2023 /

    As a newcomer to the Danforth area who happens to walk with a crutch, I thought long and hard about what I would like to see as a reader of On The Danforth.

Nonetheless, it’s an amazing part of the city, and we should all have the chance to explore it. This is how to spend a day on the Danforth without the worry of accessibility barriers.

    It’s Billie’s world and we’re living in it. Before becoming an adult, she had a #1 album, performed on the 45th season premiere of Saturday Night Live, and performed sold out shows across the world. She swept at the 2020 Grammys as the youngest person to take home the Big Four awards (Best New Artist, Album, and Record and Song of the Year) and Pop Vocal Album. At the beginning of the year, it was also announced that she will be recording the theme for the next Bond movie; again, the youngest person to have done so.

    I still miss David Bowie

    January 13, 2020 /

    How to be Open to Inspiration

    February 13, 2017 /

    What is inspiration? Inspiration can be taken from our surroundings and our environment, then fuelled into something creative, such as writing, music, and art. But what is it really?

A new connection can occur while you are doing just about anything from riding a bike, to watching a movie, playing games, and even sleeping. The more you do to stimulate your brain, the more inspired you will get; otherwise you will hit a block. There are ways to prevent this from happening, so here are six ways to…
