> I don't know what to do with how much I dislike AI and its relentless creep

Eric Meyer's [website](https://meyerweb.com) has a hand-drawn ink motif that I
|
|
||||||
really dig. It's based heavily on drawings from the Hamonshū, a set of books
|
|

produced by Yūzan Mōri. This work was new to me, and I enjoyed flipping through
|
|

it on the Internet Archive, embedded below.

I've been fortunate to take two trips to Japan over the last couple years.
|
|
||||||
Leading up to those trips, I picked up learning Japanese, attempting to build
|
|
||||||
some basic language skills for getting around. At first, I used [Duolingo][dja]
|
|
||||||
but recently switched to [Migaku][mja].
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
When I returned from our most recent trip, I decided to find a class so I can
|
|
||||||
practice speaking skills. [Community College of San Francisco][ccsf] has an
|
|
||||||
excellent program called "[Free City][fc]" that grants free tuition to residents
|
|
||||||
of the city. It also has [Japanese program][ccsfja]. So I enrolled in their
|
|
||||||
online Japanese 1A (Intro to Japanese) and in-person Japanese 10A (Beginning
|
|
||||||
Conversational Japanese) courses.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
The scheduling constraints are more complex this time around. Juggling the
|
|
||||||
responsibilities of work, childcare, volunteer work, and other hobbies is a
|
|
||||||
challenge. It makes me appreciate the freedom I had in my late teens and
|
|
||||||
early-twenties.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Nevertheless, I'm looking forward to learning in a more structured way again,
|
|
||||||
and also getting a chance to practice speaking with real people rather than
|
|
||||||
talking to the AI bots in my phone.

A couple neat websites I learned about from [Miriam](https://www.miriamsuzanne.com):
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
* [Learn Pottery](https://learnpottery.com) offers online pottery lessons. Makes
|
|

me want to pick up throwing again.
|
|
||||||
* [Utopia.fyi](https://utopia.fyi) helps you develop font size and spacing scales
|
|
||||||
for responsive web design. I read about it in OddBird's recent blog post about
|
|
||||||
[Designing for User Font-size and Zoom][ob].

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.

[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

I was standing on a neighborhood street corner recently and spotted this sign
|
|
||||||
hiding behind a parked car across the street. When the car moved, I snapped this
|
|
||||||
photo.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
It's kind of a curious thing, isn't it? It's an advertisement for Coke on a
|
|
||||||
low traffic residential corner that seems to have been there for a long time.
|
|
||||||
(It looks old.) It got me wondering what that corner was like 50 or 100 years
|
|
||||||
ago. Clearly the owner of the building has maintained it too: the paint has been
|
|
||||||
touched up here and there, and someone added the green frame at some point.
