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.

i cannot stress enough how good the results I had from using a rowing machine were. I spent like 240ish on mine, there are cheaper ones though or you could try one at a gym to see how well it works out for you first. But like having any exercise machine is great for me because fuck working out outside, I want to do shit in air conditioning and with a fan on me thanks.
Anyway, I tried like running almost every day for a year + calisthenics, I tried using a rowing machine (set at a heavy resistance) almost every day for a year, I lost way more weight and got swole af with the latter
if you decide to do this just remember you'll have to do it for a month or two before you start to look at yourself in the mirror and go "woah this is happening" but trust me you will
