The First International Syndicalist Congress was a meeting of European and Latin American syndicalist organizations at Holborn Town Hall in London that began on this day in 1913. The congress was attended by 38 delegates representing 65 organizations from Argentina, Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Cuba, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, Spain, Sweden, and the United Kingdom, with a total membership between 220,000 and 250,000.

Despite being marked by heated disagreements over both tactics and principles, the Congress succeeded in creating the International Syndicalist Information Bureau as a vehicle of exchange and solidarity between the various organizations, and the “Bulletin international du mouvement syndicaliste” as a means of communication. It would be viewed as a success by almost all who participated.

Don’t, go and serve on a jury and refuse to convict unless it’s like, a cop.

It feels good. Like sometimes I regret not getting enough sunlight and then feeling tired all day/night. But especially in the summer when daylight hours are long, it’s just really nice to be semi-nocturnal.

It also makes it easier to tend a garden, ironically.
