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 catās funeral on Sunday, days after she died of heart failure aged 16. [x]
For those who havenāt read articles about it, the local shrine elevated her to a god. Sheās now the Eternal Stationmaster and patron god of the station.
Beautiful.
Now Iām crying thanks
and a new cat was hired right?
yep! her name is Nitama (essentially āsecond tamaā or ātama IIā) and she served under Tama as an apprentice before being appointed her deputy
she works very hard
Everytime this crosses my dash, I reblog. It is the law.
Iām crying at 11pm over train cats
Nitama, already now a mature cat (born 2010), has a protege named Yontama (fourth Tama, b. 2016).Ā There is no information available for either the physical befellment or tragic self-disgrace which has removed Santama from contention.
^Nitama majestic, and below with Yontama
Yontama.
a legacy
okay but actually what happened to santama (or sun-tama-tama, which is her name because itās a pun on santama) was that she was basically sent to train for the position in okayama and they liked her so much they refused to send her back
āSun-tama-tamaā (a pun off of āSantamaā, lit. āthird Tamaā) was a calico cat sent for training in Okayama. Sun-tama-tama was considered as a candidate for Tamaās successor, but the Okayama Public Relations representative who had been caring for Sun-tama-tama refused to give the cat up writing, āI will not let go of this child, she will stay in Okayama.ā [25]
As of September 2018, Sun-tama-tama is working as the stationmaster in Naka-ku, Okayama and appears occasionally on Tamaās Twitter account.
Every time I see this post thereās new info and it gets better
You are only allowed to scroll pass this after you pay tribute to the great Tama Station masters.
The shrine of Tama DaimyÅjin (Great gracious deity Tama), next to the Kishi station where she worked.
Nitama presenting her yearly offerings to Tama DaimyÅjin on the anniversary of Tamaās Death, June 23 (The offerings are presented by the company president, as Nitama is a cat and thus canāt hold the offerings herself) (Not pictured, but also present, Yontama)
you cannot pass without reblogging guys. iām sorry, i donāt make the rules.
You canāt not reblog a goddess. Itās just whatās so. :)
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.
And they are announcing the winner of the āup and coming godā award, and of course, Yato thinks itās him.
But no-
ITS TAMA!
Just to update⦠yes, there is a Gotama (āFifth Tamaā) now, introduced in January of this year.
Wakayama Electric Railwayās tradition of feline stationmasters has a new face: Gotama, who joined the team as stationmaster in January 2025.
Nitama and Yontama are still alive and still working. Gotama is Nitamaās second assistant.
Also, thereās not enough pictures of Sun-Tama-Tama in this thread, so have this one:
Sadly, Nitama died last December, so today Yontama stepped up as full stationmaster. Rokutama (āSixth Tamaā) was also introduced as a new trainee.
The Kishigawa Line drew attention after it named cat Tama its first feline stationmaster in 2007. Read more at straitstimes.com. Read more a
Another Tama has hit the railways!!

The moment I saw these double doors in our apartment, I knew I wanted to put colorful foil on them:
Today my wife did it, and I couldn't be more stunned and happy:
Isn't it amazing? This is a dream come true, and it makes me so happy! š©µš§”šššā¤ļøš©·
The doors continue to delight:
(pics taken as the sun shines through the doors, making all the colors shine and projecting some of them across the hallway floor) (edited this reblog to add a second pic)
This post is almost at 11,111 notes and I hope someone screenshots it when it happens!
@purlturtle here you are I got it for you!
what if I told you that I am RIVETED to my notifications at the moment, for fear that I will miss it
The galaxy map of this post's reblogs is a thing of beauty:
This isn't a post from a big blog that a ton of people reblogged from that one big blog. This isn't even a post that got big because one big blog reblogged it. Yes, there were a few big-name boosts, but almost all of these reblogs are just, this post ambling through Tumblr making people happy.
And that makes *me* happy. Thank you, fellow Tumblrinas!
Y'all.
My wife found this incredible rug to go into the living room, that matches the doors so so so well!
Isn't it fabulous?
(ID: wide angle shot of a living room with a rug in the center that is 5x8 panels of different colored squares)
I heard this metaphor growing up, and in my case, it backfired supremely, because I went out into my neighbor's backyard where a rose bush was growing, and the one I tested had like 30 petals (it was yellow, but definitely a rose of some kind), and as a very logical lass, I came to the conclusion that you could have premarital sex AT LEAST ten times before your future husband would even notice something was up. Moral of the story? Test your metaphors on the weirdest and most neurodivergent child you know before writing your weird religious propaganda.
the thing that annoys me the most about it is that it's just some random metaphor, like, why should I even agree with the premise. "you are like a beautiful rose" based on what? oh we're just making up stuff, well then I say you're like a restaurant tip jar and every time you have sex someone adds a shiny coin to the pile. you're a beautiful photo album and every sexual partner is an interesting polaroid to add to your collection. since we're just saying whatever
A platitude?
PERRY THE PLATITUDE!?
and you know that's the long ramble version of it
the short version is I'm so fucking sick of being the grownup in the room
and I'm particularly sick of it because the effect of being the Responsible Adult is
a) you have no space afforded to be an irrational mess
b) people around you get used to the idea that they can act like fucking children and you'll take responsibility for moving it forwards
c) The Reward For Hard Work Is Always More Work And Less Respect

Main post screenshotted here in case it gets yanked; the whole thread is worth a read.
Posted January 2026.
Teachers have tried this and are amazed when their classes donāt go feral like in the book.Ā Itās almost as if the book was supposed to be satire and not a treaty on the nature of humanity.
thereās a timeskip
THEREāS A TIMESKIP
THEREāS A TIMESKIP
THEREāS A TIMESKIP
after losing control of the signal fire thereās a FUCKING TIMESKIP and when the next chapter starts everyoneās hair is several inches longer and their clothes have rotted to shreds and theyāre still just kind of chilling!!!!
IT TAKES THE TERRIBLE IMPERIALISM MIND-POISONED EXCESSIVELY BRITISH BOYS IN THE ACTUAL BOOK SEVERAL MONTHS TO COMMIT A SINGLE ACT OF INTENTIONAL VIOLENCE, EVEN THE ONE (1) CHILD WRITTEN AS AN ACTUAL SOCIOPATH
AND then when they DO turn on each other it is because
THEREāS AN UNSPECIFIED WORLD WAR HAPPENING
AND A PILOTāS CORPSE CRASH LANDS ON THE ISLAND POST-DOGFIGHT AND THE CHILDREN MISTAKE THE PARACHUTE FOR A MONSTER AND SPIRAL INTO PARANOIA
BECAUSE CHILDREN INHERIT THE LEGACY AND TRAUMA OF VIOLENCE FROM THE ADULTS WAGING WAR AROUND THEM
HURR DURR IN THE REAL WORLD IT WOULD NEVER HAPPEN LIKE IN LORD OF THE FLIES -
IT DIDNāT HAPPEN THAT WAY IN LORD OF THE FLIES EITHER YOU JUST HAVENāT READ IT SINCE HIGH SCHOOL IF EVER AND DONāT REMEMBER WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED IN THE GODDAMN BOOK
#tbf the dude wrote it to be a dick
yes. yes he did. iām also gonna direct you to the real life ālord of the fliesā which occured in the 1960s, when six tongan schoolboys got stranded on a desert island for over a year before being rescued by an australian fisherman (who, it should be noted, later took on all six as crewmembers because the reason they were out in the first place was because they wanted to see the world, and named his ship the Ata after the island they were stranded on). nobody died. the only injuries that occurred were accidental, and when one of the boys broke his leg falling down a cliff, the others braced it and looked after him so well that it healed perfectly. if they argued, then they would literally go to opposite sides of the island until theyād cooled off. after leaving the island, they remained friends for the rest of their lives. hereās a photo of them as adults, with their rescuer (who is third from the left) and other members of his crew.
i read about this in rutger bregmanās human kind, a book i cannot recommend highly enough, but if you donāt want to go and read a whole book about the inherent goodness of humanity (which again, you really should) then the relevant excerpt can be found here.
Hey @phillipfancypants I am intrigued, go ahead and lay out your argument
@lizluvscupcakes @hallsofdarkness @shitposting-hobbits-to-gallifrey
the results are in
Okay so basically this all started in 10th grade when my English teacher (idk if this context is needed but she grew up in Yugoslavia in the ā80s before moving to the US as a teen and she has a VERY thick accent. Sheās about 6ā4ā and has huge black hair that sticks out all around her head. Sheās the human embodiment of a corvid bird. Truly such a fascinating person) anyway she was talking about Lord of the Flies in class and mentioned that a few years ago some students of hers tried to convince her that the book couldnāt have taken place during WWII and that she didnāt believe them because āthere have been no atomic bombs except during World War Twoā and an atomic bomb is referenced as the inciting factor for why the boys were flying over a deserted island in the first place.
But the thing is, if you actually look at all the throwaway historical context details in the book, there is no logical way that it could have taken place in WWII. I realized that all clues point towards an alternate timeline where the Cold War turned hot. About halfway through the book I started bookmarking any scrap of information related the time period and it was getting to the point where each chapter took me twice as long to read because I would continually need to check various articles and Wikipedia pages to cross reference.
Eventually, I ended up writing a 5 -page paper picking the book apart for details which you can read here but Iāll also give you the individual points (a mixture of historical details and borderline headcanon):
Early on in the book, the boys mention that there are probably maps in āthe Queenās libraryā that show where they areāthis was one of the first things that stuck out to me, as Elizabeth II didnāt become Queen until 1952, and WWII ended in 1945
Ralph mentions watching something on television at home. His dad, although a naval officer, would almost certainly not be able to afford a TV in 1945, BUT televisions were already popularized around the time of Lizzy 2ās coronation (or at the very earliest the 1948 London Olympics) and itās believable that Ralph could have had one at home. Thereās also some mentions around space travel/putting a man on Mars that would make more sense during the Cold War
I found Piggyās character to be very interesting. For one thing, heās introduced Ā as being fat due to his Aunt owning a candy store (his parents are both dead). If you know anything about the sugar ration during WWII, youād know that candy stores would have been non-operational and Piggy would probably not have had access to an excess of sweets.
Continuing with Piggy, Iād place his distinctive accent as either London Cockney or London Estuary. If Piggy was from London, he would have been evacuated to the British countryside via train (the same evacuations in which the Pevensies stay with their uncle in Narnia) long before the dropping of the atomic bombs. Hereās where the headcanon comes in: Iād be willing to bet that Piggy was evacuated to the countryside as a baby during WWII and both his parents were among the 27,000 killed in the London Blitz, hence why he now lives with his aunt. By assuming the years leading up to the book are peacetime instead of wartime, thereās no issue around the candy store.
And finally, the most compelling argument imoā¦WHY WOULD BRITISH BOYS BE EVACUATED AFTER VE DAY??? In the book, itās very clear that the LOTF boys are being evacuated from their boarding school after an atomic bomb was dropped. Victory in Europe was May 8th, 1945. The bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in early August. In what world would British boys be evacuated by a plane traveling over tropical airspace (historically child evacuations in the UK were domestic and carried out by train) to protect them from a bomb dropped in Japan four months after the end of the war in Europe?? The only plausible explanation would be that the USSR dropped a bomb on an Allied power and the boys are being evacuated from Briton all together to avoid nuclear fallout and/or future bombings.
Final note, at one point the boys consider building a new plane and decide against the idea because they āmight get shot down by the Redsā even though the soviets were literally allies with Britain during WWII. Do you know when they most certainly werenāt allies? The Cold War.
Anyway, I end up giving her this essay which she reads and then promptly says āthese are all very interesting points, but there was STILL no nuclear bomb besides the ones dropped on Japan in World War 2ā and Iām like āYes!! I know this!! And Iām saying itās an alternate future!!ā But she never really seemed to understand what I was saying.
Anyway a few weeks ago I was at my job (Iāve been working IT some summers at my high school after I graduated) and I ran into her and she says āI was going through my desk and I found that essay you wrote on LOTF! I read it again and it was a really good argument piece, especially for a 10th grader.ā
So of course I ask her āoh really? Well, were you finally convinced?ā
And she basically says āit was goodā¦but no :)Ā <3ā
And I have simply not known peace since.
Do not forget the other victims of ICE
as much as we must mourn and stand in solidarity with Renee Nicole Good, please do not forget the other victims of ice raids, who are not white. Silverio Villegas GonzƔlez, a cook from mexico who was dropping his son off at daycare and was murdered Jaime Alanis, a farmer from mexico who fell off a green house at the farm where he worked to send money to his wife and daughter Roberto Carlos Montoya Valdez, a father and grandfather from Guatemala who was hit by a car JosuƩ Castro Rivera, a garden from Honduras who was struck by a car And so many others who were killed or are dying in detention centres, prisons ect racial bias is always something we must be aware of, Renee will be focused on because she was a white woman and a US citizen, but do not forget all the other victims of ICE, may they all rest in power
