On August 1, 1944, white employees of the Philadelphia Transit Company (PTC) launched a strike to protest the company’s decision to promote eight Black workers to the position of trolley driver—a job previously reserved for white men. The Black men were promoted after President Franklin D. Roosevelt issued Executive Orders 8802 and 9346, which prohibited companies with government contracts from discriminating on the basis of race or religion and required companies to include a nondiscrimination clause in their contracts.
As the U.S. prepared to enter World War II in the 1940s, Philadelphia quickly became one of the country's largest war production sources. As many as 600,000 workers relied on the PTC to get to their workplaces, including many factories. The strike threatened the entire city's ability to function and severely hampered critical wartime production.
White PTC employees James McMenamin, James Dixon, Frank Thompson, and Frank Carney led the strike and threatened to maintain the protest until the Black workers were demoted. The strike grew to include over 6,000 workers, prevented nearly two million people from traveling, and cost businesses almost $1 million per day.
On the strike's third day, President Roosevelt authorized the War Department to take control of the PTC. Two days later, 5,000 U.S. Army troops moved into Philadelphia to prevent uprisings and protect PTC employees who crossed the picket line. Despite the military presence, the confrontation resulted in at least 13 acts of racial violence, including several non-fatal shootings.
After more than a week, the strike ended when PTC employees facing threats of termination, loss of draft deferments, and ineligibility for unemployment benefits chose to return to work without achieving their goal of blocking Black workers' opportunity for advancement. By September 1944, the PTC’s first Black trolley drivers were on duty.

Simple question: so what happened to James Dixon?
Everyone talks about him in the past tense, like he died. And apparently a decade ago 'somebody' posted a memorial page about his 'suicide', but that memorial reads like Dixon wrote it himself. Over the top, bombastic, even a little silly. But not intentionally silly. Sad silly. Conventional wisdom is that he got tired of getting banned from every Trek forum in existence and staged his own death.
I won't link to the memorial page because it has a graphic death photo (itself a Dixonesque touch) but you can read about him here.
Last mention I can find of the man is 2012. It's now eleven years later, so... is it safe to assume he's really dead?
James Dixon was legend.  There have been books that put episodes and movies, and sometimes even the novels into chronological order.  But the James Dixon Fandom Star Trek Chronology #17 goes so much deeper.  If a book has a throwaway reference to an event a few weeks before, it's in there.  It covers every episode, movie or novel published up until the end of Enterprise's second season, as well as every technical publication whether officially licensed or not.
Tumblr media
Tumblr media
And here's where the first problem lies.  According to modern Trek canon, Kirk is born in 2233 and his 5-year mission ended in 2270.  But because unofficial fan published works had Kirk's birth in 2229 and the 5-year mission end in 2265, that's how it is in his chronology and that renders it questionable as a reference work.  And since Star Trek: Enterprise did it's own thing ignoring decades of lore in novels and fanworks, it's labelled as an alternate timeline.  In other words, obscure fan-published stuff (most of which was shut down by Paramount in the mid-90's, since it was profiting off of their IP) was given more weight than new Star Trek shows and movies.
Tumblr media
And that brings us to the second problem: James Dixon's social interaction issues.  He rants and raves A LOT in his Chronology notes.  I originally thought it was satire, a parody of a crazy obsessed fan.  But having spoken to him and seen his interactions with others, I realised it was 100% serious.  He detailed how he'd like to kill me on a fake memorial page site he made to himself after I explained to him the real-life reasoning between Next Gen-era technical manuals contradicting TOS/classic movie era ones (it came down to money of course and who it went to).  And after being banned from TrekBBS, he started the (now defunct) Terok Nor Promenade, where he was all the members.
Tumblr media
His chronology is an amazing one-of-a-kind work, a loving tribute to Star Trek like none other, and the notes at the end engrossing and led me to things like the Best of Trek books and various fan-produced manuals I'd never heard of but now adore (and post many pages from on this tumblr).  Something tells me the Kelvin movies, Discovery, Picard and Lower Decks would have given him a stroke.

I'm posting this from my phone so please bare with me guys.
"ew, you write y/n as a baby."
okay, so. I understand that the way I write might not float everyone's boat which is so okay !! But yk what you could do...? Scroll !! There's no need to hate. I really apologize if the way I've written my readers in x reader fics is harmful in any way. However, I'm not going to stop making the character they're with baby them and look after them. The beauty in all of this is that none of it is real. Life can be hard and life can be way toooo much and at the end of the day you might js wanna read ab getting babied. People baby their partners all the time whether you're male female any other gender none of this matters. I write female y/n and if you have a problem with the characters babying her but at the same time you're posting matt sturniolo (I apologize if I spelled that wrong) and saying omg cutie baby 🥺🥺 it's the same thing !!! It's so normal and people are making it weird. If you want to read badass!y/n then write badass!y/n. People get so hung up on writing shy readers and saying it's weird. It's how a lot of people feel and I'm personally really shy irl which is why everything on my account is fake !! Kami isn't even my real name ! You guys need to stop spreading hate towards people and if you don't like their work whether it's cringe or even a little weird then please just scroll
"ew innocence kinks are for p*edos."
Oh my. More often than not innocence kinks are usually submissive people loving the chase and getting dominant people to spell it all out for them. Not only that but sometimes people suffer from childhood trauma (me !!) and they read things that make them get to relive the part where their 'innocence' was 'taken' from them in a gentle way and not by abuse of power. Also, some people just have innocence kinks !! And that's okay as long as you're two consenting adults. When did everyone get so judgemental !! I've seen stepcest, ACTUAL incest and more prominently pain kinks and knives kinks guys innocence kinks really are not the worst problems out there ! I understand that some people take them too far which is not okay and under no circumstances would I ever support someone taking advantage of someone else who doesn't fully comprehend what's going on. But yk what this is?? Mere fantasies. They don't exist, it's just what people like to read so please leave us alone 🩷
And finally, "why is y/n such a pushover omg?"
Wanna start off by saying I don't condone cheating ever !! And I would never write a fic where the reader gets back with the character after they cheat. With that being said, the only fics I have ever seen of that (very VERY few) they have put trigger warnings at the beginning to let you know what you're reading. And for the people who say that the reader shouldn't go back because their partner yelled at them... Guys PLEASE !! I understand that yelling isn't something that should be excused, you should never put your partner in a position where they are scared or feel uncomfortable. However, I also know for a fact that everyone reading this has at one point in their lives yelled at someone. Being loved isn't about loving someone with happy rainbows there's gonna be bad days which I find realistic enough. Partners argue, sometimes relationships even take breaks and people get petty and people yell but you know why?? Cause we're human !!! It's in our nature if we're angry or annoyed or whatever it may be. Of course this behavior shouldn't be excused if it's constantly on show. Although denying the fact that you'd ever get back with someone after they yelled at you during an argument is a little bit childish. I don't mean hate to anybody whatsoever I'm just saying that you're dating a human (hopefully) not an alien (you'd be surprised on Tumblr I actually can't rule that one out) they have emotions and while sometimes they can be misplaced... It doesn't mean they're a bad person for it.
This isn't meant to harm or send hate to anyone !! I've just seen so much hatred spread across Tumblr and it's really upsetting. People should learn to support one another and if you don't like the content, scroll ! Once again this is hate to nobody enjoy ur day/morning/evening/night lovelies !!! 🩷🩷
