🌟🏴 Announcing CONSTELLATION 🏴🌟
An Anarchist Festival in Montreal - May 24-26, 2024
Join us for a bookfair, workshops, and more!
The last weekend of May is important to many anarchists who live in this city. For years, this has been when the Montréal Anarchist Bookfair takes place. These few short days give us an opportunity to see old friends, learn new things, share ideas, plan for the year ahead, and generally get up to no good.
Unfortunately, this year's bookfair has been cancelled. The collective cited the pandemic, the housing crisis, the rising tide of fascism, and the genocide in Gaza as reasons for their decision. While we acknowledge how much time and energy it takes to pull off such a massive event, we believe that these factors are exactly why it's more important than ever for anarchists to come together.
So, we propose an experiment, and perhaps the start of a new tradition. We call on the wider anarchist community to help create something that doesn't rely on just one institution. CONSTELLATION will be a decentralized series of events that will include tabling at the usual bookfair location (CÉDA & CCGV in Little Burgundy) as well as workshops, games, an anti-conference, a dance party, and other new, weird, fun shit you'll have to come check out for yourself.
The success of this weekend is up to all of us! Talk to your friends and start scheming. Make your own anarchy. Organize a film screening, a martial arts training, a graffiti workshop, a punk show, or anything your heart desires. There are so many amazing anarchist spaces in the city; let's get people out to them! We'll help compile and promote a calendar of all the different things happening.
More info for tablers, workshoppers, and other interested folks coming soon! To get in touch, e-mail us at [email protected].

Invitation à CONSTELLATION: Un festival anarchiste à Montréal (du 24 au 26 mai 2024). On vous donne rendez-vous pour un salon du livre, des ateliers et bien plus encore !
La dernière fin de semaine du mois de mai est importante pour plusieurs anarchistes qui vivent à Montréal. Depuis plusieurs années, c'est le moment où le Salon du livre anarchiste a lieu. Ces quelques jours nous donnaient la chance de voir de vieux.vieils ami.es, d'apprendre de nouvelles choses, de partager des idées, de planifier l'année à venir et parfois même de planifier quelques espiègleries.
Malheureusement, cette année, le Salon du livre a été annulé. Le Collectif évoque la pandémie, la crise du logement, la montée du fascisme et le génocide à Gaza comme raisons les ayant poussé à prendre cette décision. Nous reconnaissons la quantité de temps et d'efforts nécessaires pour organiser un tel événement, nous croyons toutefois que c'est exactement pour ces raisons qu'il est plus important que jamais pour les anarchistes de se retrouver.
Nous proposons donc une expérimentation, qui sera peut-être, qui sait, le début d'une nouvelle tradition. Nous en appelons à une communauté anarchiste large, en vue de nous aider à créer quelque chose qui ne relève pas d'une seule institution. CONSTELLATION est pensé comme une série d'événements décentralisée où se tiendront des kiosques au lieu habituel du Salon du livre (CÉDA et le bâtiment du CCGV), ainsi que des workshops, des jeux, des anti-conférences, une fête dansante, de nouvelles initiatives extravagantes, étranges, originales et amusantes, que vous serez inviter à venir découvrir.
Le succès de cette fin de semaine relève de nous toutxs. Parlez-en à vos ami.es et commencez à manigancer. Faites votre propre anarchie. Organisez une soirée de projection, un entraînement d'arts martiaux, un atelier de grafiti, un show punk; en quelques mots, faites ce que votre coeur vous dictes. Il y a maintenant beaucoup d'espaces anarchistes à Montréal : faisons en sorte que les gens se rencontrent! Nous nous engageons à compiler et à promouvoir un calendrier des différentes activités qui se dérouleront.
Davantage d'informations sont à venir pour les personnes qui tiendront des kiosques, qui organiseront des ateliers et qui sont intéressées à mettre sur pied des activités! Pour nous contacter, envoyez nous un courriel à [email protected].
Protest in Darat Izza, Aleppo province, on the 13th anniversary of the Syrian revolution.
Today Syrians are calling for the fall of the Assad regime, the exit of the regime's imperial backers- Russia & Iran, and the fall of authoritarian Islamist group HTS which is powerful in northern Syria.
Ok, been watching a lot of Buffy and I want your opinions on this very unscientific study.
Big age gaps (like 200+ years) come up a lot in vampire stories, from Louis and Lestat, Angel and Buffy, or Edward and Bella, to name a few. What's your take on it, vote in the poll and if you need to comment to get your thoughts out on this very important topic.
