Japan has a new stationmaster cat. The Wakayama Electric Railway Kishigawa Line is famous for its feline stationmasters. A new cat, Rokutama, has been appointed trainee stationmaster of 2 stations.

Christmas gift from my grandma this year:

A 380-page, full-color cookbook with all of her favorite recipes she’s collected over the past 70+ years.

She spent the past few years typing out her hundreds of handwritten recipe cards and taking photos of everything she makes.
