Shimla News: शिमला से सटे सुन्नी थाना क्षेत्र में सरकारी बस में सफर कर रही एक छात्रा के साथ छेड़खानी व अश्लील हरकतें करने का मामला सामने आया है। चौंका देने वाली बात यह है कि हिमाचल पथ परिवहन निगम (एचआरटीसी) के ही दो कर्मचारियों पर छात्रा से छेड़खानी के आरोप लगे हैं। दोनों आरोपित भी सरकारी बस में छात्रा के साथ सफर कर रहे थे। छेड़खानी करने वाला एक आरोपित एचआरटीसी का चालक और दूसरा मैकेनिक है। वहीं…

its so silly but i just keep thinking abt being in norway and seeing for the first time kinda ever that like governments can do things to make peoples life better. for no other reason but just to improve things. like im sure norway has lots of problems i didnt see on a trip but i cannot stress how insane it was that the government had done things because it would be nice. to take care of people. ?????
#tour guide like yeah the minimum wage is decent here its 220 NOK (roughly ovr $22) but its not perfect and literally evryone in our group#being like $22??!?!?!???!?!!? MINIMUM!??!??!!?#i keep thinking about taking the bus and trams in oslo :( and abt walking IN THE STREET in bergen wjthout getting run over#or the restaurant on top of the bergen funiculr mountain getting state owned this year bc it was mismanaged ans going under but#everyone would like there to be a restaurant there so the government just decided to make sure there would be one????#instead ofbjust letting it die???#or ALL THE OIL AND POWER BEING STATE OWNED. HELLO?#its just insane idk. that things can for real be different. where i am theres a revolutionary amt of public teansport for a not huge city#but its still basically one bus and then the slowest most fucked up train in the whole world (40min drive = 2.5 hours by train)#assuming uh thw train doesnt get stuck again lol#it mostly exists to take mormon missionaries to the airport i think lol.#the 'walkable' old town section still has 4 and 6 lane roads you have to cross every block.#i dont know its just... its. augh!!!!!!!!#birdenest#we told one guy the minimum wage for waitstaff was about 21 NOK and he didnt believe us and got upset that we were lying

Okay so inspired by nothing in particular (it's inspired by reading the notes on the ace swag final poll, fun stuff in there), I have been thinking about being Cringe. Cause like, you enter a fandom, and usually, you find out shortly that somebody else hates that fandom. There is no fandom niche enough that it's not Weird to somebody, and there's no fandom mainstream enough that it's not Annoying to somebody else. And given the fact that some people do hatred recreationally, there's often going to be somebody mad enough about your fandom that they're going to go on diatribes about how your fandom is bad and actually harmful and destroying the fabric of civilization, etc. They're gonna pull out anything negative and blow it up until it's the size of the skyline and attack you for liking this negative thing.
Fun times, we've all seen it.
And the thing is, there's an impulse to have this happen and immediately find somebody else to point to and say, yeah, well, I might be weird, but at least I'm not THAT guy. I might read YA, but at least I'm not a Furry— those guys are sexual deviants! I might be into actual play podcasts, but at least I'm not into mcyt— those guys are all harmful and my guy is fine. I might be into danmei, but at least I'm not into bandom— rpf is so gross. I might be a furry, but at least I'm not into mainstream romance novels— senseless drivel aimed at middle class white women. Y'know. Immediately find someone to punch down on.
And boy do I understand why you want to do that, when people are pointing at you, but I don't actually think that it's helpful.
Cause like, every fandom has a logical train of thought and reasonable human impulses behind it. You might not share those impulses— I'm not a furry I don't think, I don't really get true crime— but that doesn't mean I can't have it explained to me by a very patient person in in the writer's workshop common room and go "oh, yeah, kinda pretending to be an animal, but you're gay about it, yeah, makes sense", or "oh yeah, morbid curiosity from the safety of your headphones, it's like a horror movie but real" and nod. Like there isn't a fandom or group out there that doesn't look weird from the outside, and there isn't a fandom or group that can't be explained if someone has thought about the human psyche enough.
And that isn't to say that there isn't sometimes salient critiques for what fandoms are doing or not doing— to grab the two examples above, I have heard people talking about issues with true crime reinforcing the current fucked up justice system, or bigotry at furry cons. But a) most of the time, there is already somebody inside that community that's fighting against those issues, and you just threw them under the bus with the problem they're trying to fix b) you don't usually know the nuances of the actual conversation and problems, you saw a couple callout posts. You saying "Yeah I'm a board game nerd but at least I don't play competitive trading card cames, those guys are doing nothing but feeding the capitalist machine" is not usually helpful towards fixing the ctg scene. It's just a cheap way to score points.
Like, I assure you that the YA scene is aware of the calcification of the genre into a tighter and tighter romantic form and their dependence on going big on tik-tok to sell enough to keep publishing. They know.
You specifically saying that your fandom is better cause it's not [problems you heard about other fandom having] is not actually going to make the person who's hating on you stop hating. They already decided that you're the person they're better than and that they're punching down on, you passing the punching down on to another fandom just makes more people sad on the internet, and potentially starts yet another chain of someone punching down at someone else. The wheel grinds on, everybody gets punched.
I guess this is just kinda turning into a "why hate on the internet, what good does that do" post, which is broader than I meant it to be. But like, there's a difference between thoughtful critique of problems (complicated to do fairly but very necessary) and finding someone new to curbstomp to make yourself feel better/morally superior (look, I'm writing this on a mcyt blog, we've all seen this happen, it does not increase the joy in the world).
Like in MCYT, we all decide to punch down on [other server we hate], or RPF, or people who write kidfic, or people who write e-rated fic/art, or people doing the popular trope of the moment, and sure, it lets you feel morally superior for the moment, at the cost of slapping the guy next to you. Haven't we had enough slapping the guy next to you? There but for the grace of god (got a fun idea/watched the wrong stream/ended up in the wrong brainstorming circle/got fixated on the wrong funny guy) goes I. You're not better than another group just because you saw a couple more callout posts (usually from people inside the community trying to fix things) about them.
We are all Cringe. There is nobody who's not Cringe. Don't say that you're not Cringe because someone else is more Cringe. Stop that.
#discourse#This is another thing where the public/private rule applies too I think#cause social media is public and what you do there is governed by different politeness rules#walking into your friend's dms and saying GOD I AM SO ANNOYED BY [other fandom] is a normal human impulse#posting that where other people can see that is potentially much more like shouting in the face of a random person#idk this is potentially something where me having a thousand followers is warping the perspective#cause I try to be really aware of the fact that who knows what people who see my posts are into#there's nobody I can throw under the bus and not have them see it#if you have eight followers all of which you know#you're much more effectively in a private space#idk#boy reading the tags on that ace swag poll was kinda a Oh Yeah They Really Hate Us moment#I forgot that cause I was just happy over here#but boy are we still an internet's favoured punching bag#and I just think making an effort to not continue to punching bag people might be good#fandom meta

In July 1957, BBC News reported that a strike by regional busmen had turned nasty.
"…There have been violent scenes around Britain as the strike by busmen in the English regions enters its fourth day. In some instances strike-breaking drivers were attacked and vehicles vandalised, including those with passengers on board. In Derbyshire one driver, Basil Flint, had to be taken to hospital after being hit in the stomach with an iron bar. Another driver, Harry Davies, said he was overpowered and pulled from his bus on the road between Hemsworth and Wakefield in Yorkshire…"
Mr Davies told the BBC that, having been dragged out of his bus, he was punched in the face and kicked in the stomach, and while he was lying on the ground, his attackers smashed the bus lights and windows.
A spokesman for the Transport and General Workers’ Union distanced the union from the violence, although perhaps not all that convincingly, stating, "I have no comment on that because I have heard it only from the Press but I am sure our members are not involved…"
Around 100 000 bus employees from provincial companies were demanding a one pound per week pay rise, however employers were offering three shillings, which, they argued, in light of recent pay rises, was keeping up with cost of living increases.
Unfortunately for the strikers, their actions appeared to have little impact. Train travel increased by 25%, there was an upsurge in carpooling, and many employers provided coaches to shuttle their workers to and from railway stations.
The Manchester Guardian reported,
"...The busmen's strike erupted into outbreaks of violence in towns and villages all over Britain yesterday but it had little effect on industry. Factories, offices, and mines were virtually fully staffed almost everywhere..."
The Guardian also took a strong editorial line against the violence;
"…The men employed to drive and conduct provincial buses have the right of all free men to withdraw their labour if they want to, but anyone who wishes to take a coach or lorry load of passengers through a strike-bound town has an equal right to go about his business peaceably. The violence with which the busmen's pickets in some places have tried, and in some cases succeeded, in driving other people off the road is not only unlawful but alien to every tradition of decent trade unionism. A strike gives no man or group of men a licence for banditry…British trade unions have a long and honourable record of conducting industrial disputes without violence, and it is as much in the interests of trade unionism as of the rest of society that attempts to use violence during a strike should be put down with the utmost firmness..."
The matter was referred to the Industrial Disputes Tribunal, which awarded the bus employees a rise of 11 shillings, and everyone went back to work.

My union is going to go on strike soon (we were going to last month but the government did a thing, annoying, but it’s not going to change anything) and until we go on strike we’re picketing outside of our schools before we start work some days. So I made a big double sided sign and the kids I look after made smaller signs.
Which is a long winded way of saying I thought y’all might want to see my signs ✌🏼
#there’s been lots of protests also that I’m going to#lots of standing outside the ledge and chanting ‘shame’ and ‘we fight we win’#zeph rambles#zeph arts#protests#protest signs#my government is mostly a bunch of assholes#and it will only get worse now that the idiot himself managed to get back into power in the states#I was walking to the bus after school and one guy coming out his car looked at my signs and just went#‘there’s going to be a lot of protests in the next few years’ in the Most Tired voice#and that about sums it up I think#as always feel free to reblog#if you feel so moved

De Lijn bus come on time for once challenge.
I think they should start paying for all the trains and taxis I have to take because their service is so shit. Everyone's trains and taxis actually. Maybe that'll motivate the company to finally improve.
Also I think their entire upper management should be forced to move to a small town or village and forbidden from using any form of transportation except DeLijn busses. And no telework either.
#admittedly i refuse to take the taxi as of late because 20 euros for less then 5 km is outrageous i'd rather walk#but you know. what about all the people who can't.#and yes i know the government is hollowing out the service so they can say *see nobody uses it let's privatize it* I#still#delijn#public transportation#belgium#bus service#de lijn

It’s really cool and sexy to leave for work over an hour early, have one bus be outrageously late, and end up having to take three buses for the low low price of being half an hour late : ^ )
#at least it doesn’t super matter if im on time on a Sunday#but also I don’t appreciate spending an hour and a half in transit#FOR WHAT IS A FUCKING 8 MINUTE DRIVE#EIGHT. MINUTES.#EIGHT.#and also I saw that the bus was late and technically could have picked a different route BEFORE i was a third of the way out the peninsula#but also at that point (an hour before work) it was ALREADY TOO LATE TO TAKE ANOTHER OPTION AND BE THERE ON TIME#FOR. AGAIN. WHAT IS A MCFUCKING EIGHT. MINUTE. DRIVE.#PEOPLE STILL WORK ON SUNDAYS YOU PIECES OF SHIT#I WOULD FURTHER POSTULATE#THAT PEOPLE WHO ARE LIABLE TO HAVE WORK ON SUNDAYS#ARE MORE LIKELY TO BE COMMUTING BY BUS#in conclusion zets needs to start writing strongly worded letters to the municipal government
