+It has been a truly awful few weeks for trans people in the US. I am worried for
+myself and for every other trans person navigating the daily terror of the
+political climate here. You are loved and valid, no matter what they say.

+Someone [compiled all the station ditties](https://yamanot.es) along the
+Yamanote line in Tōkyō. Via [Jonathan Wight][wight], though the link is now

+[Jimmy Kimmel was removed from the air][kimmel] by a combination of ABC, Disney,
+and Nexstar over comments he made about Charlie Kirk. His comments were mild at
+best, and his removal portends bad things for freedom of speech and a free press
+in the US.

+
+The US seems poised to pass a country-wide [bathroom ban][bathrooms] for trans
+people. It would deny trans people the right to use the toilets matching their
+gender, and _also_ deny them access to toilets matching their birth sex,
+effectively preventing trans people from using the bathroom in any public space.
+If this passes, I don't think I will be able to travel to the UK for any reason
+for the forseeable future.
+
+Sol Elias draws a comparison to the current [moral panic][panic] around trans
+rights and the "crack baby" era of the 1980s and 1990s.

+The team behind the Diablo franchise at Blizzard has [unionized][diablo].
+Congrats to them!
