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.

I’d just like to add that there is a ‘Santama’, whose name was ‘SUNtamatama’ (the capitalisation is not my own, it’s in the actual name). They were sent to Okayama prefecture for station-master training. The Okayama PR rep Mister/Ms Y, who was looking after SUNtamatama then refused to let go of the cat, saying something along the lines of, “This child is ours and I will not let them go, they will stay in Okayama”, and so SUNtamatama remained in Okayama.

“I’ll never forget the day Marilyn and I were walking around New York City, just having a stroll on a nice day. She loved New York because no one bothered her there like they did in Hollywood, she could put on her plain-jane clothes and no one would notice her. She loved that. So as we we’re walking down Broadway, she turns to me and says ‘Do you want to see me become her?’ I didn’t know what she meant but I just said ‘Yes’- and then I saw it. I don’t know how to explain what she did because it was so very subtle, but she turned something on within herself that was almost like magic. And suddenly cars were slowing and people were turning their heads and stopping to stare. They were recognizing that this was Marilyn Monroe as if she pulled off a mask or something, even though a second ago nobody noticed her. I had never seen anything like it before.” 

abortion that late should 🚫❌

You do know the reason abortion is carried out that late in a pregnancy is because of fetal abnormalities, right? There’s no woman that stays pregnant for 8 months and then decides “Meh, I’m just gonna have an abortion instead.”

Something like 90% of abortions are first trimester, which is so early that the medical terminology vacillates between “zygote” and “fetus”, and whatever the name, the thing’s the size of a pencil eraser and has 0% ability to survive outside of the womb.

I’ve known someone in the position of carrying a dead fetus in her body. The kid had a name and a crib and handmade blankets and a mountain of toys. There were baby showers and a little plastic bath thing and those toys that are supposed to make baby smart. There was even a special backpack for taking the kid hiking.

These fucks know nothing. They don’t understand that late abortions are 100% unwanted and break the mother’s heart.

A woman I know recently had to carry a baby to term, because my Mediterranean, highly Catholic bullshit country has illegal abortion still. Her baby was developing without any brain tissue, and she found this out during her second trimester. She had to carry an essentially brain dead child for five more months, growing larger and larger like nothing was wrong, smiling and fielding questions from those not in the know about gender, due date, all the congratulations that must have hurt so much. She gave birth, and the baby died minutes later. They didn’t even babtise it on time, so now it’s buried in unconsecrated soil, too. Because she obviously didn’t suffer enough.

There’s a turtle in my yard laying eggs

Text from stepmom “watch out for foxes, cranes, raccoons, and snakes. They’ll eat the eggs so chase them off”

I don’t think Box turtles return to their nest either, so until they hatch and dig out

DAMN IT SHARRON

UPDATE

NEVERMIND

passing a group of men in public:

Me: “hey man what you did was sorta racist, and hurt me, here’s a full explanation why and here’s some resources to improve your knowledge “

Also, stepping in here, the moment someone says you hurt them, you don’t get to decide that you didn’t. 

Don’t apologize and move on. Apologize and educate yourself and do BETTER.

Amazing how y'all screech this, but you know if a white man says “I find what you said to me to be racist” or “I feel like that’s sexist” you would dismiss his feelings immediately

a human being: “the growing trend of hating on men/white people hurts me”

You realize that being butthurt bc someone was mean and being systematically oppressed are different things right?

I’m probably going to regret this, because I’m not trying to be rude here, but what about men’s difficulty in cases of child custody? Courts are overwhelmingly more likely to choose in favor of the mother, even if she’s less fit to be a parent or the kids state that they prefer their father. In cases of assault, especially female on male, men are often dismissed by police. I know women are too, and are blamed for it as well, but the stigma for men is greater because it “can’t happen to men.” As such, it’s harder to win a court case against a woman in these cases, since it’s harder to be taken seriously to begin with.

Okay, but the custody thing is patently false. Actual statistics show that almost any man who actually petitions for custody gets it. It’s an easily googlable fact. I’ve had that argument a million times and it’s just not true. My father, with multiple rape and assault convictions, managed to get half custody when I was a child sooooo, yeah. I have personal experience with that.
