-Today is [Transgender Day of Remembrance][wp].
+Today is [Transgender Day of Remembrance][wp], a.k.a. TDoR. According to
+[translivesmatter.info][tlm], 427 trans people were killed or committed suicide
+in 2024. This is a worldwide tragedy.
 
+With the spectre of political violence looming large in the US, and right wing
+politicians doubling down on attacking trans people -- kids and adults alike --
+this feels like a particularly scary time to be trans.
+
+Please join me in [saying their names][names] and remembering them. 🕯️
