You things are disgusting. Genuinely wanting to destroy your body, mind, and soul for a result you’ll no longer even have the mental capacity to appreciate, then likely get killed and consumed by something you once called a friend. Absolutely revolting. Hope you get what you want, cuz you’ll wish that you hadn’t.
@ayviedoesthings want to consume me????? WANT TO DESTROY MY BODY MIND AND SOUL TOGETHER?
Reblog if you want your friend to consume you as destroy your body mind and soul together

Second in a series of trans and non-binary character profiles! Who’s your favorite? Who should be in the next one?
"All the students in this school are my childhood friends!" —Najimi Osana
“I'm a trans woman in Gotham. Of course I have a weapon." —Alysia Yeoh
“There's a new chapter starting, and I'm not going to be who I was. I won't ask you to be either. But I'm still me. I'm always me." —Loki
"Maybe demons aren't the most trustworthy creatures to make a deal with." —Raúl Cocolotl
“I didn't get into fashion or romance, or even confront my own identity until I went out into the world. You can deal with all that when you're ready." —Nao-chan
Read the first set of characters here:
Najimi! Though slight correction on the use of "boku" below
僕 (boku) is typically used as a masculine personal pronoun, as opposed to the neutral 私 (watashi, or sometimes a
"atashi" as a more feminine variant). This is before considering formality of course.
But Najimi's use of Boku is part of what makes them canonically non-binary despite it being a masculine pronoun.
One of their best lines is:
僕は女だよ (boku wa on'na dayo)
This literally translates to "I'm a woman"
BUT
With the use of the masculine "I" and informal "of course" style implied by "da yo" to a close friend, a better translation of this would be:
"Ya boy's a girl, obviously!"
There are other instances of this, but this particular line when they are first observed with the uniform is probably the best both just from a language perspective and practical. I admittedly used it for a while myself as an enby.

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]

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.
Beautiful.

Now I’m crying thanks
sapphic-matriarchy
and a new cat was hired right?
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
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.
^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 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.
Every time I see this post there’s new info and it gets better
You are only allowed to scroll pass this after you pay tribute to the great Tama Station masters.

you cannot pass without reblogging guys. i’m sorry, i don’t make the rules.
You can’t not reblog a goddess. It’s just what’s 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 “up and coming god” award, and of course, Yato thinks it’s him.
But no-
ITS TAMA!
Always reblogging this.
Likewise.
Bow, bow, clap-clap, bow.
Changed to this version for the manga addition.
Posted in memory of Tama Daimyojin on the anniversary of her passing.

Hi Kayla, hope you’re doing well!
Do you (or any of your followers) have any good advice, resources or tips & tricks for vocal training? (If that’s something you’ve done - if not please ignore)
I tried following some guides/resources posted on reddit a while back, but was quickly overwhelmed.
Thank you
LMAO I don't have any training at best I can consciously change my resonance, but not much outside of that. Welldrawnfish and Brooke Valley have done a good amount and might be better for advice. I can offer you some cat food, tho
@welldrawnfish @brooke2valley any ideas?
Oh I see, Wel according to kayla I have a nice voice , tho i still feel it is unpassing. let me do my best here. theres a few methods of doing this, but i tend to do best when i see visual results vs feelings and sound so heres my process: Your first step will be to grab a guitar/audio tuner app. Something that can show the notes your voice is in. Write down results of your male voice. Record it for "MMMMMM" "AAAAAAAHHHH" "OHHHHHH" "EEEEEEE" "NNNNNNNN" "IIIIIIII" Female vocal ranges come in: Contralto, Mezzo-Soprano, (Alto too?? ) and Soprano. Soprano is your "pitch so high it shatters glass" Opera singers, the high notes. Typically pretty hard to hit without real serious vocal training that I cannot offer. This Vocal range is C4-C6 Mezzo-Soprano is your Average vocal range for women. A3-A5 - This is the one I work in. Contralto is your super low vocal range. At F3-F4 --- Start every training with vocal warmups. I open mouth gargle water as long as i can. Its a great excercise. Also, Lip trills (where you like.. BRRRRRRRRRRRRIIILLLLLLLL with you tongue.) and Pitch sirens (go WEE-WOO like a siren, alternating pitch form low to high) ---- Using your voice tuner, raise your pitch with each of the recording sounds. I aimed for A3. Do it over and over again until you can do it on command with no strain. The Vocal cords are a muscle, you will feel it strain. Hydrate, and give it time to heal and rest like any other muscle. During these exercises focus on learning to breath from your belly and not your chest. (so when you breath your belly goes up and down not your chest) This makes it easier idk why. --- Once you can handle those vowels without strain, move on to words. Moon, Vine, Move, Noon, Nine - Once you have those on lock start adding complexity. I would narrate what I was doing "Ok now i am doing dishes this is so boring I hate this" Or read books outloud, or even sing. As long as it was in the pitch your practicing. -- Once I had that on lock, then came Inflections and all the little nuances on female vocal patterns. Heres just a few - Some girls have a bit of a croak in thier voice. Think of like... "WHAT EVERRRRRRR" Practicing emulating that can help. Its very subtle. - 90% of language is nonverbal. And women communicate much more with touch, eye contact, and hand gestures than with thier voice. Theres no easy way to learn this, you have to be observant. Find someone you feel safe with and let them know your trying ot learn and just.. talk with them. Let them correct you if its awkward or cringy. - Most words and sentences end in a higher pitch than where they started. Not by alot, almost like you are asking a small question at the end of every sentence. This needs to be exceptionally subtle, if you do it too.. obviously or intentionally you encroach a bad valley girl or something similar. -------- Most importantly, be ready to sound bad. You are learning to speak again. It'll take time, and progress will sneak up on you before you even notice. Record your voice, play it back, listen for dips in pitch or especially male sounding moments. For me the letter "M" makes my voice drop pretty deep. And be willing to accept you wont sound like a super high pitched cutesy anime girl. For most of us thats not a possibility. A husky girl voice can be just as damn cute and sexy. Also: Any Cis women, if theres Non verbal communication tips you have feel free to share them! Idk hope thats good! Not my area of expertise like I said I still think I sound bad.

Husband has discovered you can mail Kraft singles so he sent these out
I made him write “do not eat” because they are not shelf stable. I also decided this was a him-project and if he gets arrested by the USPS Cheese Crimes Council I’m not part of it but if it goes over well I’ll jump in and claim partial credit.
Here is what he took to the post office:
They began arriving this week. Here is our thread with my MIL. (She’s Blue, my husband is Red)
She is amazing. I did not think she’d actually tape it to the Xmas card wall! (Later in Dec that whole wall will be covered in cards.) How long do we think that will last before their dog figures out how to get to it?
Cheese is so far a hit with everyone and has arrived safely at multiple houses. I take back all my criticism and I’m now claiming to be a full partner in Operation Hand-Krafted Card.
@laid-back-at-lunchtime’s card got commentary from the mail lady?! Very glad she found it funny and doesn’t hate us. I was actually kinda worried we were gonna ruin the postal services’ day so this made us very happy.
The last text is sending me. 😂
