The climate emergency will not be solved by reading books. But by coming together to read, to educate ourselves, to share what we learn with friends and family, and to take action in our corner of the world we can be a small part of the wave of change humanity desperately needs. Sound like something you want to be a part of? We’d love to have you. Join the Climate Action Book Club this month to read the 'The Nutmeg's Curse: Parables for a Planet in Crisis' by Amitav Ghosh, the Bengali Indian novelist and writer who has several books on climate change. This event is free, but please get your copy from the wonderful English bookstore that hosts our book club meetings, Backstory. You can also [buy a copy from them online](https://backstorybookshop.shop/product/the-nutmegs-curse/). To cover Meetup fees, we also request a €1 donation per attendee. You are welcome (even encouraged) to join us even if you haven't read the book but want to hear and join the discussion about it. Feel free to bring a friend, too. Hope to see you!

Hola a tod@s, Continuamos con nuestras charlas mensuales en el café La Opera. En esta ocasión yo mismo realizaré la charla. Para los que no me conocéis soy Doctor en historia contemporánea por la UB y fundador de este grupo de meet up. ¿Sabías que la ley de vagos y maleantes en la que se apoyó la dictadura franquista para reprimir la homosexualidad era una ley aprobada por el gobierno de izquierdas de la II República? En esta charla exploraremos la represión de la homosexualidad durante el franquismo. Conoceremos el armazón ideológico-legislativo que enmarcó dicha represión. ¿Sabías que existieron colonias agrícolas donde estas personas eran aisladas y sometidas a trabajos forzados? Desde 1954, el régimen franquista convirtió a los homosexuales en “enemigos” legales. En esta charla analizaremos los argumentos pseudocientíficos en los que la dictadura se apoyó para justificar esta persecución. RESUMEN DEL PLAN: TÍTULO: **GAMBERROS, HOMOSEXUALES, VAGOS Y MALEANTES: LA REPRESIÓN DE LA HOMOSEXUALIDAD DURANTE EL FRANQUISMO** Ponente: Miguel Garau (Dr. en historia contemporánea y animador de este grupo de meet up) Duración de la charla: 60-75 minutos A continuación preguntas y tertulia abierta LUGAR: En el primer piso del mítico Café la Opera (Las Ramblas).

T’imagines la passió de l’òpera fora d’un gran teatre? Nosaltres transformarem un espai ple d’històries en un escenari on la música i les paraules es troben. Així que et convidem a una experiència íntima i totalment original: una versió de concert del gran mestre Giuseppe Verdi, **Rigoletto**, que et farà vibrar a pocs centímetres dels artistes, al cor de la preciosa **Llibreria Byron**. **BYRON és una llibreria-cafè , punt cultural de referència a Barcelona**. Un espai polivalent on *la literatura, la gastronomia i l’activitat cultural i social* es donen la mà per oferir un lloc únic a BCN. **Una llibreria amb gairebé 500 metres de prestatgeries, una gran sala d’actes i molts racons on seure a llegir, gaudir** **de presentacions literàries i degustar un bon cafè.** *Que veurem aquest dia?* De la mà del gran pianista **Elke Sanjosè**, i amb els artistes: ***Lucas Groppo*, *Alberto Espinosa*, Romina Krieger i Mariel Aguilar** **Una de les òperes més intenses de Verdi** arriba en una adaptació àgil i teatral amb tota la seva força dramàtica. La història del bufó **Rigoletto**, el seu amor per la seva filla *Gilda* i la crueltat del *Duc* es desplega en un format que potencia l\*‘emoció, el text i la psicologia dels personatges.\* Música en directe, narració i una posada pensada per a sentir cada matís d’aquesta tragèdia humana. **SINOPSI:** **Rigoletto** es un bufón en la corte del *duque de Mantua*. A pesar de ser una figura cómica, Rigoletto es muy inteligente y astuto, y el duque lo respeta por ello. Sin embargo, Rigoletto es muy protector de su hija *Gilda* y odia a la corte por su libertinaje y falta de moral. Un día, el duque de Mantua decide conquistar a Gilda, y Rigoletto teme por su seguridad. Para protegerla, Rigoletto la esconde en un lugar secreto y contrata a un asesino para matar al duque. Sin embargo, el plan de Rigoletto falla y, en lugar del duque, Gilda es raptada y llevada a la corte. Desesperado por encontrar a su hija, Rigoletto se enfrenta al duque y descubre que su hija ha sido seducida por él. En un acto de venganza, Rigoletto jura matar al duque. Sin embargo, su plan falla y Gilda muere en su lugar. **«Rigoletto»** es una historia **intensa y emotiva** sobre la *venganza, el amor y la traición*, y su música es igualmente impactante. **La obra es considerada una de las más grandes y populares óperas de Verdi y ha sido interpretada en teatros de todo el mundo durante más de un siglo.** ***RIGOLETTO***, de **Giuseppe Verdi** Adaptació per a quatre cantans i piano **Repartiment:** *Rigoletto — Lucas Groppo* *Duca di Mantova — Alberto Espinosa* *Gilda — Romina Krieger* *Maddalena / Condesa Ceprano / Narradora — Mariel Aguilar* **Piano:** Elke Sanjosè **Producció artística:** Romina Krieger **No t’ho perdis! Una activitat molt original i especial, viure la música a pocs centimetres es tota una experiència que no pots deixar escapar.** *A on? Quan?* **DATA :** 19/04/2026 – **HORA :** 20:00h – **LLOC :** [Carrer de Casanova, 32, Eixample, 08011 Barcelona](https://www.google.com/maps/place//data=!4m2!3m1!1s0x12a4a370308e5783:0x963f7398e57ac7a6?sa=X&ved=1t:8290&ictx=111) **PREU:** 32,5€ (ENTRADES A FILA 2)

Join us for a night of board gaming with FANG (Fem All Night Gaming). **We are an all fem board game group** in Columbus, Ohio. No cis-men, please! We play modern hobby board games!

We will be playing in the store on the right when you walk in!

Join us as we get together to get together to help those in need at this CMG Gives Back event! We have a great little community of Movie Group friends so rather than see a movie this time, we’ll help “create a better world” by helping serve those in need. Here are complete details and our plan for this event: FAITH MISSION – GRANT KITCHEN: The Faith Mission kitchen and dining room serves residents 3 meals a day, every day of the year. For this event, our group will help prepare food, serve meals, assist residents in the dining room, wash dishes, and clean surfaces. PLAN: We will be preparing / serving / cleaning for BRUNCH from 10:30am to 12:30pm and have space for a total of 7 volunteers. Please arrive at 10:20am and wear closed-toe shoes and long pants. LOCATION: Faith Mission – Grant Kitchen is located at 245 N. Grant Ave. Enter the kitchen at Dock 1 (in the back of the building), indicated in the attached map. On-site parking in the adjacent lot and street parking is available in the surrounding area. Below are some links / attachments with additional info/details: IMPORTANT REMINDER: Our group will be providing all of the volunteers on this day so a firm RSVP count is essential. Please only sign up if you are certain you’ll be able to attend. If something unavoidable comes up, please try to update your RSVP no later than one week prior to the event. With few exceptions, no shows or cancelations within 1 week of the event will not be eligible for future CMG Gives Back events. I appreciate your understanding as we try to ensure the agencies have the volunteers needed to provide the essential services they provide to the vulnerable population they serve. Our Partner Agency for this event is Lutheran Social Services! A huge THANK YOU to all of YOU for volunteering at this (and any of our previous) CMG Gives Back events! Should be a good/fun/meaningful time together, Dan

This month's prompt concerns the idea of the “warrior philosopher” (seemed appropriate in these times)--that is someone whose understanding of violence, power, and justice is forged through direct experience of war. We are looking at Major General Smedley D. Butler, a highly decorated U.S. Marine raised in a Quaker (pacifist) tradition who later became a prominent critic of American militarism (there is a wonderful biography of Gen. Butler called "Gangsters of Capitalism") Butler's argument in *War Is a Racket* (1935): that many U.S. interventions were driven less by national defense than by corporate and financial interests, with Butler portraying himself as an enforcer for business and Wall Street. We can consider the moral ambiguity of his insider critique—whether complicity strengthens or undermines credibility and also consider some of the concrete reforms he proposed (e.g., “conscript” capital before soldiers, restrict the military to coastal defense, and have only those who fight decide on war). Butler’s life arc clearly changed from pacifist upbringing to warrior to antiwar crusader—and asks whether true understanding of peace requires firsthand knowledge of war, and what that implies about the cost of suffering. So do we need to suffer to understand suffering? Do we have to experience war to appreciate peace? As one more question: in the movie "A Few Good Men" Jack Nicholson's character says that "you have the luxury of not knowing what I know" so do most of us go through life oblivious to real violence and suffering? See you at Drunken Philosophy!
