[close] For one day, May 14th, I will be at your beck and call. Ask me anything at all - about AmalgaNations, writing, meaning of life, tips on debt reduction - and I shall respond in Near Real Time.

[close] What's going on in the world? why so many crises and problems? why so much inequality? what are the solutions? Is there any alternatives to current world political and economic systems? A group for those interested in the analyses of political, social, cultural, ecological and economic changes and challenges across the world at the global or international level.

[close] The Feminist Book Club is a democratic collective dedicated to DIY education, respect, and community. The FBC aims to create a space to engage with feminist literature and other critical medias to facilitate growth and friendship in Vancouver's feminist community. We welcome everyone regardless of ethnicity, class, sexual orientation, or gender identity (this means that men are welcome to participate!). The FBC recognizes that there are multiple interpretations of feminism and we are interested in raising awareness by investigating feminism through critical media and visual culture. The FBC denounces the dismissal of the feminist movement as redundant. Showing solidarity within the FBC and the community at large we stand together in the margins to fight against social oppression.* Venue: Our headquarters are currently located at Spartacus Books,684 East Hastings Street Vancouver, Coast Salish Territory, BC. Accessibility info: The entirety of Spartacus' retail space is located on street level and the storefront and washroom accommodate up to 36" of access. If you have any further accessibility inquiries or suggestions to improve the accessibility of our meeting space, please feel free to contact Justine Alison (from the admins list) directly. *Note: I have borrowed heavily from the description of Calgary's Feminist Book Club, because it is awesome. Thanks, FBC Calgary!
