basically what i n a lotta other bi ppl have desperately been trying 2 make ppl understand is that bisexuals r real, actual ppl. u cannot build ur idea of what bisexuality is like off ur imagination based on like, what privilege boxes u think we do or dont tick n just decide that this imaginary bisexual life uve created on ur own is the reality.

this is why yall r obsessed w bisexuals having “straight passing privilege” n shit like that, why u wont acknowledge biphobia is a real problem n not discourse, why u constantly act like bisexuals oppress u n ur punching up somehow by shitting on us… bc yall have NEVER ever looked @ bisexuals as real n wondered what our community ACTUALLY is like.

over n over again ppl paint bisexuals as primarily cis, white, middle class oppressors, even though the numbers show that bisexuals r more likely 2 b trans, more likely 2 b ppl of color n more likely 2 live in poverty. despite this, bi-specific spaces n resources r gravely lacking, n bisexual needs receive a fragment of the funding that the lesbian, gay, n transgender communities receive. in lgbt organisations, 7% of board members identify as bisexual, as opposed to 59% being gay or lesbian. this is despite bisexuals being the largest part of the lgbt community.

throughout all this bisexuals constantly talk abt feeling unwelcome in lgbt spaces, feeling we have 2 hide part of our identity, that we cant b out as bi in lgbt spaces, that were only welcome so long as we dont contribute n dont disagree..

bisexuals r constantly walking on thin ice in our own community bc of the biphobic image others in the lgbt community have built of us, an image that is provably contrary 2 reality. this needs 2 b a big deal. this cannot b discourse or “opinions”. this is real life n yall NEED 2 shake up.

ik only bisexuals r going 2 rb this post, bc its always only bisexuals talking abt biphobia. but i wish the ppl who r going 2 see this post frm a bi person they follow n not reblog it would @ least think abt it.

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]

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

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

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

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.

The shrine of Tama Daimyōjin (Great gracious deity Tama), next to the Kishi station where she worked.

Nitama presenting her yearly offerings to Tama Daimyōjin on the anniversary of Tama’s Death, June 23 (The offerings are presented by the company president, as Nitama is a cat and thus can’t hold the offerings herself) (Not pictured, but also present, Yontama)

you cannot pass without reblogging guys. i’m sorry, i don’t make the rules.

IF YOU’RE SHORT ON CASH, HERE’S ANOTHER WAY TO DONATE TO BLM WHILE BROWSING THE INTERNET:

There’s an extension called Tab for a Cause that donates money to charity every time you open a new tab (on Chrome or Firefox).

  • Basically, it puts two or three small ads on your new tab page and then donates the ad revenue to charity.
  • You’ll get Hearts every time you open up a page, which act as “votes” that you can donate to various charities to tell Tab for a Cause where you want your money to go.
  • There are a few charities that are always available for donations, but Tab for a Cause also “spotlights” a new charity every month – and starting today (June 2), in support of the BLM movement, the spotlighted charity is the NAACP Legal Defense Fund.
  • Also, did I mention it’s incredibly gorgeous and functional, too? You can customize your new tab background, take notes, create to-do lists and more (I’ve been using this extension for several years and I still have yet to get sick of it)!!
  • For those concerned about possible scams, this extension is super transparent. All of its code is open-source (x) (x) (x), and you can see all its quarterly financial reports right here.

Seriously, this is so so so easy – I usually hate posts that are all “there’s no reason not to do this!” but right now, I genuinely cannot think of even a single reason not to do this. 

That said, if there is somehow something standing in your way, you can still help by boosting this post like crazy – I’m not a big blog, so every share counts. Otherwise, please take 30 seconds and install Tab for a Cause by clicking this link or typing tab.gladly.io into your search bar.

(By the way, that if you use the specific link in this post, it’ll register as a referral for me, which will give me 250 bonus hearts to donate to NAACP… just saying.)

HOW TO DONATE TO BLM WHEN YOU HAVE NO MONEY

a black woman named zoe amira posted a video on youtube. this video is an hour long and filled with art and music from black creators. it has a ton of ads, and in result will rack up a ton of revenue. 100% of the ad revenue from the video will be dispersed between various blm organizations, including bail-out funds for protesters. it will be split between the following, dependent on necessity

  1. brooklyn bail fund
  2. minnesota freedom fund
  3. atlanta action network
  4. columbus freedom fund
  5. louisville community bail fund
  6. chicago bond
  7. black visions collective
  8. richmond community bail fund
  9. the bail project inc
  10. nw com bail fund
  11. philadelphia bail fund
  12. the korchhinski-parquet family gofundme
  13. george floyd’s family gofundme
  14. blacklivesmatter.com
  15. reclaim the block
  16. aclu
turn off your adblocker and put the video on repeat. do not skip ads. let it play on loop whether you’re listening or not. mute the tab if you need to focus elsewhere. but let. it. play.
youtube will donate to blm for you.

please, please reblog. for people who don’t have money to spare, this is incredibly important information to have.

Short comic, while I work on something bigger on the side. It is nevertheless a very important topic. A lot of seabirds die because they eat plastic. They feed their chicks with the waste. It’s really tragic.
