The parts my editor cut

It’s hilarious that they didn’t even include Broadway where men show off their pipes and dressed in tailored outfits meant to flex.

Tama is boss

THE TRAINS HAVE CARTOON TAMAS ON THEM

Sad update everyone, Tama recently passed away… An estimated 3,000 people, including railway officials, attended Tama the cat’s funeral on Sunday, days after she died of heart failure aged 16. [x]

yep! her name is Nitama (essentially ”second tama” or “tama II”) and she served under Tama as an apprentice before being appointed her deputy

Nitama, already now a mature cat (born 2010), has a protege named Yontama (fourth Tama, b. 2016).  There is no information available for either the physical befellment or tragic self-disgrace which has removed Santama from contention.

“Sun-tama-tama” (a pun off of “Santama”, lit. “third Tama”) was a calico cat sent for training in Okayama. Sun-tama-tama was considered as a candidate for Tama’s successor, but the Okayama Public Relations representative who had been caring for Sun-tama-tama refused to give the cat up writing, “I will not let go of this child, she will stay in Okayama.” [25]

So, fun fact- the manga Noragami has an arc where the main character, Yato (a minor kami/God that is down on his luck but trying to make it big time) goes to a council/conference for all the Gods in Japan.

how it feels to be surrounded by perverted mutants

My parent is going through a bunch of old pics of me between the ages of 7 and 10 doing Taekwondo (we’re talking like late 2000s, early 2010s timeframe) and I’m just imagining Celine taking pics of Rumi at her Taekwondo belt tests when she’s little with chubby cheeks and Rumi is a bit cringe (bc what 7-10 year old isn’t at least a little).

This the report that JK Rowing doesn't want you to see. This report scares her so much that she is trying to destroy Amnesty International, a human rights organization, to stop you reading it:

Bluesky thread is a lot of screenshots (which I find impossible to cope with), but if you scroll far enough down, there's a link to the full pdf:

Shifter!Rumi & Shifter!Poppy bond in their own way. I respect that. Poppy had to wait weeks in order to be near Rumi when Mi-Yeong allowed her close.
