[feminismandmedia]

Just for the sake of information, the daughter said this when she was 15. And has since apologized and changed her views.

She said something else too about how reverse racism was real. If I understand correctly this was all while living under his roof. When she got out, she became educated and changed/apologized.

Take that as you will. Totally understandable if people don’t trust her.

I like this extra info. reblogged the earlier post..and don’t wanna ignore 🥴

[ultrafacts]

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]

[retro-geek-deactivated20220412]

For those who haven’t read articles about it, the local shrine elevated her to a god. She’s now the Eternal Stationmaster and patron god of the station.

Now I’m crying thanks

[sapphic-matriarchy]

and a new cat was hired right?

[clarenecessities]

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

she works very hard

[beasti]

Everytime this crosses my dash, I reblog. It is the law.

Law

[tooiconic]

I’m crying at 11pm over train cats

[sighinastorm]

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.

a legacy

[bemusedlybespectacled]

okay but actually what happened to santama (or sun-tama-tama, which is her name because it’s 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

[kindaoffkilter]

“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]

As of September 2018, Sun-tama-tama is working as the stationmaster in Naka-ku, Okayama and appears occasionally on Tama’s Twitter account.

what they say: cats are evil and unable to love

what they mean: i dont know how to handle small animals and consider them lashing out in SELF DEFENSE an insult

[rad-roach]

Usually what it boils down to is “I’m mad because the cat didn’t act like a dog”.

[black-nata]

[luvtonique]

Pushing fragile things off tables and breaking them: Self defense. 

Destroying Christmas Trees: Self defense, I mean the tree attacked them. 

Scratching their owner’s eyeball: Self defense. 

Scratching their sleeping owner’s face: Self defense. 

Jumping on their owner’s back and clawing into their spine: Self defense. 

Admittedly yeah 

A dog doesn’t do those things because a dog’s version of self defense is to be a good animal who loves you and doesn’t attack you unless you attack them first. 

I mean if a cat feels that threatened by everything in their owner’s household maybe the owner shouldn’t have gotten a cat. 

[amphiaria-deactivated20250226]

Pushing fragile things off tables and breaking them: Playing. Cats are well-known to like to play with small objects. Your cat does not know what “fragile” means and does not understand the distinction between toy and not-toy objects. Place fragile things out of a cat’s line of sight and reach, and if you don’t provide them with enough enrichment items that they go looking for them, that’s on you.

Destroying Christmas Trees: Cats like to climb things. They’re not doing it to spite you.

Scratching their owner’s eyeball: Probably an accident, due to overstimulation when playing. It wasn’t trying to hurt you. Don’t anthropomorphize animals by attributing spite to them. Animals don’t do spite the way that humans do.

Scratching their sleeping owner’s face: Trying to rouse you with its paw, probably gently, because it loves you and wants to play with you.

Jumping on their owner’s back and clawing into their spine: Come on. If a cat is jumping on you, it loves you and wants to be close to you. Digging in with its claws is how it balances itself on an unstable surface and is purely a reflexive reaction. It isn’t intending to hurt you.

99% of cat behavioral problems stem from bored cats. Cats need to climb, need to scratch, and need small objects to play with. I only recommend adopting cats in pairs, so that they can keep each other entertained. Cats are not purely solitary. They get lonely, and lonely cats act out. Once again, your entire problem with cats as a species seems to stem from the fact that you don’t understand how cats express affection and it upsets you that they don’t do so the way that dogs do. Cats aren’t small dogs and cannot be expected to behave as such.

FELINE PROTECTION SQUAD

[peppylilspitfuck]

Can we also talk about this?  “A dog doesn’t do those things because a dog’s version of self defense is to be a good animal who loves you and doesn’t attack you unless you attack them first.”

The idea that cats are evil, and dogs are pure is so gross.   Cats are vilified, while dogs are treated like saints.  Fact is, a dog will bite, and attack if not trained.  I had a dog that LOVED to bite just when playing.   Dogs are not some perfect animal free of sin, and cats are not some evil creature out to kill you. They are just animals.  People need to stop assigning moral values to animals that just want to exist.

#ourgeneration horror stories

They find a book written in Latin… one guy doesn’t take Latin and doesn’t want to mess up the pronunciation. The girl is studying Mandarin. Another guy recommends sticking it into Google Translate but that’s likely to land them with gibberish. They leave it alone.

The car won’t start. They call an Uber.

The vampire captures the girl and insists that she wears the gown to dinner. The gown is actually hella cute. Only problem is it’s not in her size. Oh, it only comes in 2’s and 4’s? Sorry, vamp, you want me in that dress you contact the goddamn company and tell them to get their shit together.

“How did you possibly know that? It saved our lives!” “I’ve got two degrees and I spend way too much time on Wikipedia.”

They encounter a spirit that gains power the more people believe in it. One girl makes a vine and uploads with, “fakest ghost ever!!! Right??” Twenty minutes later the spirit is destroyed.

The circus is in town tonight. Except she’s lived her whole life here and the circus has never come before… it’s also in a pretty sketchy part of town, not somewhere you’d want to walk alone at night. She goes to a movie instead.

“You’d need an ARMY to fight this evil!” “Okay. I’ve got 20,000 followers, lets see how many can make it.”

The Evil Whispery Voice of Doom tells the jock that it’s going to kill his pretty blonde girlfriend. The jock gets offended because, excuse me, Cindy and I are just friends. However, Marty over there is my boyfriend and I’m not saying you should kill him, just stop making assumptions yeah?

“This spirit tried to convince me it was Jerry when it texted but its texting style is COMPLETELY DIFFERENT so yeah that didn’t work.”

We could have easily gotten lost and ended up at some creepy cabin in the woods, but luckily we all had functioning GPSs. Beach party, we’ve arrived!

“We have to find a way to destroy it! We—what are you doing?” “Looking up ‘exorcising demons’ on Google. Oh look, first hit.”

The child she bares will be the devil’s spawn. Good thing she doesn’t want kids. Or if she changes her mind she can always adopt.

“How can we possibly outwit this serial killer…” “… There’s gotta be an app for that. Lemme look.”

Only the virgin will survive… Turns out they’re all virgins. One is asexual. One wants to wait until marriage. Two just haven’t found the right person yet. One is meh about sex. So we all survive, yeah?

The girl does not fall. She was on varsity track.

“Quick! We need someplace to hide the artifact. And then decoys to confuse the beast! What have we got?” “… I’ve got a hundred plastic bags stuffed into another plastic bag.” “PERFECT.”

i would pay to read a book of a collection of modern horror stories

[deactivated-this-account-deacti]

They’re trapped in a haunted cabin one of them inherited from a Weird UncleTM. Mysterious figures, things going flying, screams and drumbeats and chanting, blood pouring down the walls, the whole bit. They pull out the Ouija Board. “BRO, WHAT IS YOUR DEAL?” S…A…C…R…E…D…L…A…N…D “Oh.” “Oh geez. Oh no. This is Native American land. Oh goodness I am SO sorry.” “Um so, like I inherited this property and a couple acres, can I like…donate it?” W…H…A…T “Yeah man like, what tribe are you? I don’t want to live here, this cabin is grody and Uncle Tim was a fuckin’ weirdo. It’s your guys’ land, just like, what tribe?” C..H…U…M…A…S…H “Cool. Uh, I guess we’ll…call them…in the morning?” T…H…A…N…K…Y…O…U GOODBYE “Oh. Well fuck, like, that was easy.”

The HORROR

[andhumanslovedstories]

My biggest advice to men talking to women: ask questions. Like beyond if we’ve heard of something. I’m talking to a guy right now who is nice, he’s very nice, he’s interesting, it’s fine, but he has not asked me anything except if I’m familiar with the thing he’s currently lecturing on. And god knows I’m talking a lot too because I know how to elbow my way into a conversation, especially if I disagree, but it is an epidemic (especially when I’m talking to nerdy boys, I gotta be honest) that they just. Don’t. Ask. No one likes to spend a conversation feeling like an audience who occasionally is allowed to shout something at the stage.

[andhumanslovedstories]

I wrote this post like two years ago after talking with one specific man but I could slot in at least a dozen other men who I liked! Enjoyed spending time with! Thought were interesting! And yet who didn’t believe in ever ending a sentence in a question mark.

[liberalsarecool]

It's almost like guns are tools designed to kill people, and having a tool designed to kill people makes it easier to kill people.

[illegally-tired]

wait is this true

did we actually have gun control at some point in the recent past?

[devilish-cunt-deactivated201909]

yes. there’s a study for you on the effect it had as well conducted by the natn’l institute of justice.

[illegally-tired]

LIT THANKS!!

[thecsquirrel]

And what's really going to bake your noodles, kids. The push for gun control in the US really got going in the late 60's by a Republican Govenor, Ronald Reagan AND the NRA.

What could have given the modern Republican party a spine, you ask? Well, it was those darn Black people of course! The Black Panther Party to be exact.

Long story short, the Panthers, in response to police brutality and systemic oppression, Panters urged Black people to arm themselves and to protect their own neighborhoods. They showed up to the state house with their rifles and handguns...

And faster than you can reload a fully automatic weapon, Reagan and the NRA were like, oh, Hell no! We need Gun Control! And that became the Mulford Act of 1967 which banned the open carrying of firearms. Go figure.

Bottom line, if it benefits the white supremacist power structure, this country can and will do anything. Big sigh. The hypocrisy is mind numbing.

And that's today's, The More You Know.

The NRA Supported Gun Control When the Black Panthers Had the Weapons

Back in the 1960s, even the NRA supported gun control to disarm the group.

Tree doctoring

[polar-solstice]

@eight-of-roses since you asked!

I’m pruning root suckers off of a callery pear tree!

Root suckers occur in many trees as a result of stress, sickness, or wounds. In this case, it’s all of them. The lack of exposed soil means that this tree isn’t getting the water or oxygen that it’s roots need, and this tree is outside a daycare, a dance studio for kids, a McDonald’s, and a school, so it gets kicked and scratched and generally bothered way more than a tree that starved should be. Trimming the suckers here reduces the chance of wound and infection from someone breaking a branch, makes it easier to walk past, and reduces the litter getting caught in there. Seriously, we pulled out fries, money, cigarettes, a whole tomato, weird shit that isn’t good for the tree.

In NYC you need a license to do this, especially because there are a lot of health rules about when you can and can’t prune, but I have that license! I’m using a hand saw to cut through some of the thicker suckers. Later I cut some off a honey locust that had some wicked thorns at face height for kids.

10 REASONS TO ADOPT A PET

You save a life.

The cost of adoption is less than buying a pet.

Most shelter animals have had medical treatment and are spayed/neutered, microchipped, and up to date with vaccines.

There are more unique pets to choose from in shelters. Age, breeds, mixed breeds, and personality choices are greater.

Many are already trained.

Your bed is pre-warmed on cold winter nights.

Animals are just ready to love you, no matter what.

Adopting from a shelter opens a cage for another pet who needs a new forever home.

An adult pet takes the guess work out of determining size, thickness of coat, and energy level.

Mixed breeds are unique compared to purebreeds and may have less genetically inherited health problems.

Take this quiz to find out which dog is right for you!

[celebrity--outfits]

Please adopt some lovely doggos

[petl0vers]

As someone who just adopted a third doggo from the shelter, please do it if you can find a dog right for you. Those shelters do everything they can to keep them alive, but it’s a family that keeps them happy.

[deigns]

Okay, but is there a quiz for which shelter kitty I should get?

Plus? Those animals in the pound? They KNOW that they are on death row. My first dog as a married woman was an eleventh hour adoption. A 13-y-o basset hound mix (pound said they thought he was 11 because they were trying to save him by making him sound a teeny bit younger) and he was “Til death do we part” loyal. We lost him 4 years later to cancer, and we (the family had grown from 2 to 3 humans) were devastated.

My sister? Fosters cats, and ended up with a charmer who’d been hit by a car. Sephiroth is a well loved asshole, and his brother, Cloud (a stray who found a sucker bet), is almost canine levels of friendly.

Be a superhero. Save a life. Rescue.

[scars-of-stars]

As someone who has worked in a shelter for two years and watched many of my babies go to their incredible forever homes, you wouldn’t BELIEVE how big of a difference you can see in the animals’ behavior from being in the kennels to even just a few minutes after leaving. When their new owners are filling out the paperwork, there’s already a new spark in their eyes. They KNOW they’re going home; they know they’re getting to be loved the way all animals deserve to be. There are so many beautiful animals in shelters that get overlooked. Next time you’re searching for a companion, check your local shelters and rescues. Not only are you getting a companion, but you’re saving a life.

[totallynotthecops]

I got my Norwegian Forest Cat from a shelter. He’s huge, and never shuts up, and is moody and a prolific hunter (or was. He’s not allowed out), and the biggest cuddliest mamas boy on the planet.

[creamsifemme-kitty-deactivated2]

i just adopted my first cat from the humane society ! her name is Persephone and she’s 14 almost 15 years old. i love my angel so much.

[causewecan]

I got all three of my cats from shelters and they are honestly so appreciative! They are amazing little creatures and have become the light of my life…. please adopt!! You won’t regret it and neither will your little ball of fur.

[rowan-fcb]

This cutie used to be a stray in Greece. A lot of people try to poisen them, because there are so many strays there (which is the peoples fault. They buy puppies and leave them on the streets when they are older).

I‘m happy, I had the chance to safe my little lady. I still wish to safe more. They are always so happy when you only pet them or just give them a bit of attention.

[bringmebooks]

My babies Penelope and Eloise were irresponsibly let outside without being spayed. Both got pregnant and their owner dumped them at the shelter two weeks before they were due with kittens. Due to being full to capacity, they were immediately at the top of the kill list. Thankfully a foster rescued them, got them healthy, helped them birth nine healthy kittens between the two of them, rescued four more orphan kittens that these girls adopted and nursed, got them ALL fixed, got ALL THIRTEEN kittens good homes, and I adopted these silly, destructive, adorable, loud, cuddle bugs. They’re a bonded pair, and they’ve brought light and love and laughter into my life. Please adopt!!!! Please fix your pets! Save a love, be compassionate, and find your best friend!

[ungratefullittleshit]

Both adopted in a shelter. Best decision I have ever made.

[arylenchanted]

My husband and I adopted this little ball of love from a shelter and he’s literally the most amazing dog in the world. ❤️
