Most racist person you know: "NYC has fallen. We should evacuate and comfort our loved ones while we still have time. A Muslim won the primary."

Trying to explain even one ounce of class/caste/ethnic/religious dynamics in South Asia to somebody completely removed from it is so humbling like sometimes I forget how cartoonishly insane all of it is. The racism factory that churns out new types of racisms

what is a children's railway? is it some sort of an amusement ride where kids can participate?

A children's railway is the coolest thing ever. Trains in general are always cool, but this type is special because it's used and operated mainly by children.

Essentially, it's a miniature train system (usually in the park) with its own looped narrow-gauge railroad, a real, completely functional train with several cars, and two or three stations. Often, the train is manufactured specifically for the children's railway or even made by enthusiasts, so it's unique in this aspect too.

There are adults present for safety, but kids get to try most of the railroad professions, from the station attendant to locomotive driver. In winter, they undergo training, visit real train stations, make models, etc. Then in summer, they practice working in different roles and eventually driving passengers around. Children that finished the entire 4 year course also get easier entry into further professional education, at least in Russia.

Children's railways originated in the USSR in the 1930s and became pretty popular both within the union and in other socialist countries. Because, again, trains are cool, little trains operated by kids are even cooler, and the state gets several thousands future railroad workers guaranteed every year. But they can be really costly and demanding, and trying to get more profit veers dangerously into child labour exploitation. That's why, in the 90s, a lot of these railways have been closed or converted into amusement rides, unless they were backed by the government.

Luckily for Russia, our railroad company keeps all 52 Soviet children's railways running and has even built several more, so that's a W. If you visit in summer, check out if your city have this ride and give it a try.

misc krusielle doodles, because I like them very much. I think Susie bullying Kris for bullying Noelle when they were kids is funny. I also think that they'd go urban exploring together because they can.

[evelynquack]

I've been expanding on that one doodle comic, so I figured I'd put it all in one post for what I have so far <3

My hc is that Kris is a little shit who pushes buttons for fun and profit (the profit is embarrassing Susie and/or Noelle)

Some tumblr conversations are fascinating because they really are like

"My job gave us these expensive trinkets that nobody wanted. All of us wish that they would've given us the money instead."

"I don't get it?? did you want some different trinket?"

"I think it was explicitly clear in the OP that they would have wanted the money that the company spent on the trinkets, not a trinket."

"But why? :0"

"Money can be exchanged for goods and services."

"Waow I didn't know that!! :0 reblogging to raise awareness!"
