Sharp Objects (TV Series, S01E06, “Cherry”) dir. Jean-Marc Vallée

I’ve been listening to Disintegration on repeat for most of the weekend and for a while just found myself listening to Side A over and over because I can’t think of a better first half of a record that has ever seen the light of day. This song is the third one in - Plainsong, Pictures of You and then this. It’s not the best song on the album, it’s the worst of the aforementioned triplet, but it still sends me to stunned silence. For me it sounds like a rain shower on a dark evening that soaks you until you shiver. Robert Smith, on this album especially, can say very little but mean so very much.

Closedown - The Cure

The whole album still touches me the exact same way it did when I was an emo 16 year old. You know how some music brings you back to a certain place and time, and you can't separate it from those memories? The Cure has never been that for me, it's like it is beyond that, timeless, something inherently true to me. And fuck it this track is my favorite 🖤

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]

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.

she works very hard

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

I’m crying at 11pm over train cats

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

“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.
