“REST ROOM IS MUCH USED BY THE WORKLESS,” Hamilton Spectator. December 15, 1930. Page 7. ---- Cold Weather Compels Men To Seek Shelter ---- Over 600 Persons Were There This Morning --- Many Helping, But Demand is Very Heavy --- The sudden cold snap that visited Hamilton over the week-end has brought the unemployed to the places of shelter in hundreds. This morning the municipal rest room and the employment service bureau were crowded with more than 600 men who had been forced indoors by the cold weather.

Walter Selkirk, superintendent of the employment service of Canada. said that as yet there was no change in the prevailing conditions and hopes last it might be bettered before the new year were very slight. A careful survey of the unemployment conditions in the city was made last week, he said, with the result that no indication of improvement could be found. Only in the stores, he continued, was there any sign of prosperity. and even there the reports were that business was only fair.

In the women's emergency lunch room there were signs of excitement this morning the members of the Women's Liberal club were preparing for the noonday meal. Over 320 men were fed yesterday, and the crowds that had gathered around the lunch rooms at an early hour this morning gave every indication that the record would be broken by a very large increase.

Many Helping This week in the lunch room the Women's Liberal club, the Women's Baptist club. Mrs. Lester's husband group, the LODE, the Lions club and the Samaritan chub will take turns in helping to prepare the fond. These women are grateful to the many people that have helped them in their work, and they wish especially to thank Duff's meat market, Burna meet market, Hill's bread, the Royal Connaught hotel and the Wentworth Arms hotel for contributions.

The need of having supplies sent in is even greater than ever, they said, and donations may be sent to the employment service bureau. Those willing to contribute in cash towards this work and the Christmas dinner fund are asked to forward their contributions to George Wood Brown, 55 Catharine street north.

In the rest room, which is operated by the Local Council of Women in conjunction with the city council, donations have been coming in splendidly, it was stated, but there is still further need for overcoats and heavy boots. Mending kits were also suggested, so that the men would be able to keep their clothing repaired.

One excellent example of the interest that is being taken by the citizens in helping the unemployed was seen Saturday afternoon, when a woman who refused to divulge her name, saw a sandwich-man walking through the streets with only a light suit-coat, to keep out the cold. She immediately took him into one of the larger departmental stores, where she furnished him with a heavy mackinaw.

as a woman who grew up with an emotionally abusive mother constantly telling me I needed to wear more makeup/more revealing clothing/date (boys) more/go out to "normal" parties more, I despise "she should be at the club"

god forbid some people- especially young women, who already have to deal with a thousand different behavioral standards from a thousand different directions -not have the same dreams and desires for their lives as you do for yours

fucking hell. the correct response to "women should stay at home and have kids and be submissive wives" prescriptivism was not MORE PRESCRIPTIVISM

(I also just saw a poll asking if people partied as teenagers, and OP responded that the answers were "killing them" because No was winning. like? why is everyone so personally invested in other people having a very specific kind of fun?)

#memes #s t o p telling women what to do #being the partying type does not automatically equal being a Free Independent Woman and vice versa #guess what? I'm a 30-year-old lesbian with no kids (yet) and a career and I have NEVER liked clubbing.#I didn't like it when I was 19 or 21 or 25 and I still don't like it now #(I do love my mother; we have a complicated relationship. but the fact is that she did some things fitting the definition of emotional abus

I think so much of the outlook over fandom would change if many people treated it like it is: a goddamn hobby.

A fandom group is no better nor more revolutionary than a knitting club. It can replicate any real world biases and discriminations and it can also be used to raise money/group people towards causes. It can foster connections that will turn to actual real political action or it can just be a gathering of people who don't know much about each other outside of it.

It can be lovely to experience when you're surrounded by a lovely group and it can be hell when the group is full of cattiness and pettiness . It can be inclusive or it can be exclusive when you're surrounded by bigotry.

Because it's a group of people - it's going to have problems. And when there's a conflict or people are pointing shit out, it needs to be solved so its members aren't spit out in the sake of "avoiding drama". Because it's a group of people, it's not automatically changing the world in a blaze of self grandeur. Because it's a group of people with a common hobby, it can impact its members lives for the better and give them a space to express themselves.

Fandom is a goddamn knitting club. It's not this inherent great, subversive force of good nor this den of evil that's traumatisizing the children. Chill out.

#babbling babbling #its true that fandom has been persecuted by many authors!!!! its true that it plays a bit on the line between copyright and mainstream #its true that it can be lovely and influence media for the better #but at the end of the day #its still a knitting club #it was after all a group of women passing thru star trek fanzines wasnt it
