lilacs

lilacs is a collection of things from a 30-something that vaguely resembles a functional human. i like video games, memes, cats (and other animals tbh), and a whole plethora of other weird shit.

RIP Nitama, the station master cat. You were the best cat to continue Tama's legacy, and will be deeply missed. There will be a memorial service at Kishi Station on December 13th, 2025 at 12:30 local time.

Update me on her replacement when she's hired pls

[seafea-the-kity]

Correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't Nitama already retired, and Yontama taking over her duties? (Santama was at a different station after they loved her so much and never gave her back)

[batwynn]

You’re correct! Yontama was brought on to be ‘trained’ by Nitama a while back, and in recent years Nitama was taking it easy in retirement.

Yontama has taken over with a new apprentice named Rokutama.

"the average income in <X> is <Y> of <currency>" cool, what's the median

[unyielding-pussy]

Average isn't useful here. however, after a little bit of research, apparently the median income in the US is $24,327, which means the reality is actually much worse than this meme makes it seem. yay!

According to time magazine, median annual rent is $13,896, which means rent alone is 57% Of the median annual income, awesome!

“Of course, you never really forget anyone, but you certainly release them. You stop allowing their history to have any meaning for you today. You let them change their haircut, let them move, let them fall in love again. And when you see this person you have let go, you realize that there is no reason to be sad. The person you knew exists somewhere, but you are separated by too much time to reach them again.”

Dealing with auditory processing disorder

LAWFUL: take the parts you heard and turn it into a clarifying question, e. g. "you saw your cousin where?" or "she's writing a what?"

NEUTRAL: "what did you say?"

CHAOTIC: take a wild stab at what the person said, e. g. "you want to baptize a mackerel?"
