According to this OP, their cat has learnt that it only gets food when the clock strikes 9 and thus has been trying to commit the "forbidden act of attempting to warp the time (to go faster), which the humankind has failed to actualize" 😂 twitter.com/MikasaLove611/…

This is a really important point from @wouldhaus.
The term 弔い合戦 (tomurai gassen, "battle to avenge somebody's death") is trending on JP Twitter right now with many people worried that this will give LDP a landslide victory for the election IN 2 DAYS.

~ Queer JP historical fact ~
On the oldest surviving JP dictionary written around 934 CE (十巻本和名抄), there is an entry called 半月 ("haniwari")
The entry talks about a kind of person whose body was male for half of the month and female for another half 🌓

I don't know who needs to hear this, but if you're someone especially in their 20s or younger, I want to say that it is completely fine to not have your shit together in your twenties no matter what the common societal discourses and media tells you that you should

TW: transphobia
Currently, トランス女性 (JP word for "trans women") is a top trending topic in JP Twitter.
I advise all trans & nonbinary people to stay away from clicking it because most of the tweets on that topic are transphobic tirades about trans women in women's bathroom.

If you know or have JP friends who are not very knowledgeable in transgender issues and you want to give them resources for education, these websites may help.

If you want to show solidarity with Japanese-speaking trans people and trans allies, you can tweet #トランス差別に反対します ("I am against discrimination against trans people") with or without additional messages of support.
