My feminist group, Pasionaria.it, is participating in a campaign raising awareness about sexual harassment and victim-blaming in our culture. We are collecting stories with the hashtag #quellavoltache (roughly "the time when"). This campaign is our response to the whole  Weinstein affaire and its reception in Italian media. Please, spread the news and use the hashtag to share your own story.

2 September 1792

The September Massacres begin.

After the French army was defeated by the Prussians at Verdun, dear that foreign and royalist forces were going to attack Paris spread quickly. The sans-culottes were concerned that the armies would join with royalist sympathisers within France and bring down the revolution. In order to prevent this from happening the sans-culottes wanted to target the refractory priests, aristocrats, royalist soldiers including those who had escaped from the bloodshed during the Storming of the Tuileries. So they attacked the prisons. Prisoners were given quick and humiliating mock trails before being executed in cold blood. Over the week that these events occurred they murdered between 1,100 and 1,400 prisoners. Only a third of these were counter revolutionaries. The majority were just ordinary criminals.

RBZPR: 700 Followers Celebration

Hello, citizens! I am glad to announce that I have reached 700 followers, and I want to take this opportunity to thank all of you for following me!

First of all, to mark the occasion, I would like to ask you, citizens, for some feedback, so please let me know what you think about this blog, what you like / do not like about it, what could be improved, or what projects you would like to see in the future! Feel free to reblog or comment this post, or send me a message here.

Furthermore, as with my last celebration, I am planning a give-away! The prize will be the book “La Révolution: Musée Carnavalet” from the Petites capitales series, written by Philippe de Carbonnières.

On 22 September (i.e. the first day in the Year CCXXVI of the Republic), the winner will be determined at random among those of my followers who have reblogged this. Thus, in order to participate, you have to be following me and to reblog this post before 22 September 2017.

The winner will be announced soon after.

Finally, I want to take this opportunity to introduce a new project of mine: in honour of the recent 250th anniversary of Saint-Just’s birthday, I created a blog, named snt-jst, that will serve as an archive for information on him. (Conceptually, this is quite similar to my project dedicated to Couthon.) 

In case you are interested, you can check it out here.

Have a nice day, citizens, and again, thank you!

I'm back

Hello, everyone!

After several failed attempts to regain access to my previous tumblr (http://citoyenflorelle.tumblr.com), I finally decided to start a new one.
