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.

Being a cook would be a lot easier if I just had accurate information on how much shit to get ready instead of constantly being told to under prepare only for people to go "OH SHIT WE'RE OUT OF [THING]" when I literally asked if I should get an extra 20 pounds ready and was told no

When it's 6:30, we're open for another 30 minutes, and we're out of fucking chicken fajita, idk what to fucking tell them when it's going to take me at least ten minutes just to slice more chicken thighs, onions and peppers, much less fucking cook it. I would much rather just plan on having leftovers, god damn

The scorch titan is very satisfting. Stacking incendiary traps and flame wall then unleashing flame core and touching off a whole line of nuke titans feels good. Posada pog-dolphin approved!

I just beat DMC V and I really liked it, but I don't understand why Trish and Lady have been wearing the same outfit for literal decades.

If American Cheese isn't real cheese, then that means vegans could eat it. They still don't it. That means it IS real cheese.

Ergo ex facto, American cheese is real cheese and no one can question that logic.

too many variables to name
not enough greek letters before zeta shows up

I think if you put your bag on the seat next to you on public transit or at a stop, and there are people standing, I should get to kick you in the face. Who the hell raised you? Put that shit on the ground or in your lap.

I don’t know if they’re too stupid to realize what they’re doing or too selfish to care. Possibly both.

How does the whole “critical support” thing work with places where the whole social climate would interfere with my desire to push for LGBT rights (and fundamental self preservation as a consequence), anyhow? Genuflection is not an option I am willing to even consider, so getting along with some of these people seems borderline impossible.

My older - also gay - sibling may have sucked it up and learned to hide like a coward for the sake of getting by back in the early '00s, but I swore long ago I wouldn't do that. Not for anyone. Not for anything.
