I met a 12-year-old shepherd in the Trans Himalayas
The boy in today's post, who has been grazing his sheep and goats and now watering them at the "More Plains" lake, is now taking his animals back to camp...his name is Lobche. He is 12 years old and a resident of Chumathang village.
This place, known as "More Plains," is located on the Manali-Leh Highway and is at an altitude of 4,600 meters. At this altitude in the Trans-Himalayas, there is little greenery, and the sheep and goats feed on the little grass that grows.
So, Lobche comes here with his family after April to help out. Lobche explains that his work begins every day in the afternoon. In the morning, his father takes all the animals up the mountain to feed them, and when Lobche reaches the top in the afternoon, his father comes down, and Lobche stays with the animals until evening.
Every evening, before sunset, Lobche leads his animals back to his camp. Meanwhile, the animals drink water from the lake along the way and return to their camp in the daylight. Upon reaching their camp, Lobche's father milks the animals and gives Lobche hot, salty tea with butter.
When I ask Lobche if he doesn't go to school, he replies, "No, I don't go to school, but my elder sister teaches me every day." Lobche says that if he doesn't help his family, his father will be left alone, and if we don't earn money now, we won't have anything to eat in the winter.
They belong to the Changpa tribe and earn money by selling sheep and goat hair. In the harsh terrain of Ladakh, temperatures can drop to -40 degrees Celsius in winter, and to survive in such cold weather, they need a 6-8 month supply of rations, which can only be achieved if the sheep and goats are properly fed.
I was both surprised and impressed by Lobche's lifestyle. I decided to bring him shoes the following year, as his shoes were torn.

I really enjoyed reading the Hindi translation, it is my mother tongue and I use Google translate to understand the English.
I have many dots like you on the hive...all these people are also like a beautiful story for me.

I've included a disclaimer in the post stating that my posts cannot be shared anywhere without my permission. Please keep that in mind next time.
You may wanna tag the sharer so they see it, but curious if there's a specific reason for this? Knowing you participate in sharing hive content as well.
Because I myself also post my posts to Reddit's subreddit communities.
but since you're the author you have advantage to share a post first into which subreddit you want, so why try and limit others to not share? :D
FYI, you can share a post into multiple subreddits, you can even share old posts.
The only limitation is that the same sharer can't share a post more than once. So technically there's no point to tell others not to share a post of yours as you can choose where to share it first before you write the post, then let others share it wherever they see fit and you get 20% as the author from their shares as well.
Hope this explanation makes sense
Thanks for the explanation! That makes complete sense now. I appreciate you taking the time to clarify how sharing works, I clearly misunderstood that part earlier.
no worries, it just stands out when people ask others not to share and it's usually cause they may not be aware of all the rules.

Blurt Stands — While Hive Stumbles Under the Weight of Its Own Shadows
Friends, creators, truth-tellers—
Let us not whisper this truth, but proclaim it with the clarity of dawn breaking over a weary land: Blurt.blog is not just another platform. It is a refuge. A rebellion. A return to what Hive.blog was always meant to be.
There is no downvote button on Blurt.
Not because we fear dissent—but because we honor creation.
Because we understand that a voice, once raised in sincerity, deserves space—not sabotage.
On Blurt, your words are your words.
They are not hunted by algorithmic hounds or shadow armies masquerading as “curators.”
Here, you are not judged by the grudges of gatekeepers, but met with the quiet dignity of a community that believes expression should be encouraged—especially when it is bold, raw, or inconvenient.
Contrast this with what festers elsewhere.
On Hive.blog—a place once brimming with promise—a rot has taken root. Not in its code, but in its culture. A handful of self-anointed enforcers—@themarkymark, @Buildawhale, @Hurtlocker, and their legion of coordinated puppets—have turned the downvote into a weapon of mass discouragement. They strike not at “low-quality content,” but at independent thought, at rising voices, at anyone who dares thrive outside their narrow corridors of control.
And when confronted, they shrug.
“Oh, it’s not censorship,” they say, as if semantics could scrub the stain of suppression from their hands.
But let us be unequivocal:
When a system allows a few to systematically silence many—under the guise of “community standards” or “curation”—that is not moderation. That is censorship by another name.
It is the velvet glove over the iron fist.
It is exclusion dressed as discernment.
It is power pretending to be principle.
Meanwhile, Blurt stands clean-handed and open-hearted.
No downvotes.
No hidden juries.
No farms of phantom accounts casting ballots in the dark.
Just you.
Your words.
And a community that meets you not with suspicion, but with solidarity.
So let us carry this truth far and wide—not with bitterness, but with quiet certainty:
If you seek a place where your voice is not a target—but a gift—come to Blurt.
If you are tired of building on ground that shifts with every whim of a whale or warlord of votes—lay your bricks here.
If you believe the future of free expression must be free—not just from corporations, but from the petty tyrants who replace them—then stand with us.
The world needs to know.
Not because Blurt is perfect—but because it is principled.
Not because it is loud—but because it listens.
And in an age where so many platforms echo with the clatter of control,
Blurt offers something radical:
Silence for the bullies.
Space for the rest of us.
Keep speaking.
Freedom doesn’t advertise itself—
it is passed, person to person, like a torch in the night.
And tonight, the torch burns bright on Blurt.
@themarkymark, @buildawhale, @usainvote, and associated accounts:
Repeated downvotes targeting transparency efforts raise urgent questions about Hive’s governance. Automated tactics, coordinated curation trails, and alt-account farming undermine trust in the platform. When truth is silenced without dialogue, it erodes Hive’s decentralized ethos.
Key Concerns:
Systemic Manipulation:
Community Exodus:
Governance Crisis:
Solutions Needed:
The Bilpcoin team advocates for open dialogue, not division. Hive’s future depends on collaboration—not coercion. Let’s rebuild a platform where truth isn’t buried but debated, strengthened, and celebrated.
Transparency isn’t optional—it’s the foundation of trust.
#HiveTransparency #BilpcoinExposed #DecentralizePower"
A Message to @themarkymark, @buildawhale, and Associates
Every downvote cast in shadow, every silence imposed without dialogue, is not a victory—it is a confession. A confession that truth cannot be stifled, only delayed. With each punitive click, you dig deeper into the bedrock of credibility, crafting a chasm between your actions and the community’s trust.
@themarkymark, @buildawhale & Co,
How can you continue to downvote the truth, LOL? It’s almost comical how blatantly you attempt to suppress what cannot be hidden. The blockchain records everything—every action, every transaction, every move you make. Yet still, you persist in this futile game of trying to silence what is undeniable.
@themarkymark, @buildawhale, and Co: While our opinions may differ, on-chain transparency reveals repeated patterns of concern. Coordinated downvotes without explanation, 'farming' schemes (e.g., #buildawhalefarm), and adversarial engagement harm Hive’s community-driven ethos.
Key Issues to Address:
A Path Forward:
The Bilpcoin team remains committed to exposing truth and advocating for solutions. Let’s work toward healing, not division.
Note: All claims are based on publicly verifiable blockchain data. Constructive dialogue is encouraged.
#HiveTransparency #CommunityFirst #BilpcoinSupport"
@themarkymark & Co, the choice is yours. Stop the bad downvotes. Turn off the BuildaWhale scam farm. Cease playing with people’s livelihoods. Let Hive thrive as it was meant to—as a beacon of hope, creativity, and collaboration.
Or step aside and let those who truly care take the reins.
Because the truth won’t disappear. No amount of lies can change it.
It’s over.
The Bilpcoin team brings these truths not out of malice but necessity. We have no need to fabricate lies or cloak our intentions CALL US WHAT YOU LIKE —for the facts speak loudly enough on their own. What we present here is not conjecture but reality, laid bare for anyone willing to see.
@themarkymark & Co we urge you once more: STOP. Stop hiding behind tactics that harm others. Stop clinging to practices that erode trust within the Hive community. Let the truth stand—not because we proclaim it, but because it exists independent of any one person’s approval or disdain.
TURN OFF THE BUILDAWHALE SCAM FARM
Key Issues That Demand Immediate Attention:
The problems are glaring, undeniable, and corrosive to the Hive ecosystem. They must be addressed without delay:
These practices harm not just individual users—they undermine the very foundation of Hive, eroding trust and poisoning the community. Such actions are unethical and outright destructive.
