There's a cute girl who rides the shuttle but the shuttle is so awful that I'm always too grumpy to talk to her.
She was wearing a raven skull necklace D:
@Maenad I'm always nervous to talk to people on public transport, mainly because I know I hate it when people try to talk to me on the bus :o
@BillyKaplan it's the campus shuttle so it's less like "hey random stranger" and more "we have the same employer so that's one thing we've got!"
but the shuttle is fucking ableist as fuck so I'm always irritated and making a >:| face.
@Maenad Oh no! That's terrible, has anyone tried writing to the campus to make a complaint about the shuttle ?
@BillyKaplan I've called, several times, mostly in an effort to get certain drivers retrained.
But I'm not exactly the first person ever to find that campuses are recalcitrant to accessibility changes if they're good enough to comply with the letter of the law.
@BillyKaplan all I want is to go to work and come home in a straightforward manner.
A petition sounds like a whole lot of work that I won't get paid for.
I believe in fighting for accessibility, don't get me wrong, especially given my recent experiences with ableism. I just also don't think it's on me to be the poster child/progenitor for a petition like that.
@Maenad Yeah I know the feeling :( . Maybe if you got more of the community involved in it, perhaps a petition ? If their is a movement made instead of individuals then perhaps they will take it more serious. But maybe not, I've had a few movements go down the drain because the people in power didn't care even if there was strong group in the community protesting.
