Kinoko is the author of I Have Two Partners: Living the Polyamorous Life, a ground-breaking book in Japanese about polyamory, as well as the organizer of Poly Lounge, a series of events for polyamorous and questioning people and allies.

"The Japanese government spent three years on this policy, and it's still half-assed—and even that's drawn transphobic backlash from anti-LGBTQ groups claiming it'll let men into women's bathrooms."

Japanese television is warning people in northern Japan that there is a very serious risk of a 3-meter tsunami hitting the coast very soon. People living on the coast are being warned to evacuate their houses immediately and head to somewhere safe.
