Théophile Ferré was a leader of the Paris Commune who was executed by the French government on this day in 1871. Ferré personally authorized the execution of the archbishop of Paris and was the first of 25 Communards to be executed.
Little is known about Ferré's early life, before his participation in the Paris Commune. After Paris was seized by revolutionaries in March 1871, Ferré served on the Commune's Committee of Public Safety, a body given extensive powers to hunt down enemies of the Commune.
On April 5th, the Commune passed a decree that authorized the arrest of any person thought to be loyal to the French government in Versailles, to be held as hostages. Prominent figures arrested included a Catholic priest Georges Darboy and the archbishop of Paris. The Commune hoped to exchange their hostages for Louis-Auguste Blanqui, a revolutionary and honorary President of the Commune, imprisoned by the state.
Following the events of the "Bloody Week", in which the French government summarily executed many suspected Communards, Ferré authorized the execution of several hostages, including Darboy and the archbishop.
After the resistance of the Commune collapsed, Ferré was captured by the army, tried by a military court, and sentenced to death. On November 28th, 1871, he was shot at Satory, an army camp southwest of Versailles. He was the first of twenty-five Communards to be executed for their role in the Paris Commune.

mental health, guilt, enbys be shoppin
Hey how do you not feel guilty and like you're being overly indulgent for making any personal purchases
My favorite boots are wearing out and I got a deal on some new ones and logically I know it's a completely reasonable expense and not like I'm blowing a ton of money for them and I'll like them and wear them a lot but I still feel shitty about getting stuff for myself?
I wasn't even raised Catholic, why am I so guilt prone lmao
I grew up poor and my parents were kinda cheapskates so I know that has a lot to do with it but still
I feel like I should have gotten over this shit by this point idk
Well I'm a cheapskate and I have to make decisions for a living, so it's not 1:1 but I think you might find some value in my perspective. I don't think you ever really get a nice "click into place" feeling after making a decision. I know I associate spending money with how long I'd have to spend at my least favorite job I've ever had to earn that money. Therefore, it's a really sensitive and emotional thing to make decisions about spending time doing something I viewed as detracting from my enjoyment of my time on Earth. Like if I had to suffer just to see a shit ass movie I'd be pissed, so I'd rather not go.
I think it's a billion times easier to say "fuck no, of course not" than it is to say "hell yeah, I'd love to!" A lot of things are pretty worth your while - a lot more than you're able to spend on. So it's hard to be satisfied with your choice unless it goes way better than expected. Especially when you're like me and start weighing two perfectly fine options and start thinking that one is good and one is bad. There's no emotional feedback on decisions like there is physiological feedback from food - you never get satisfied because you spent so much time deciding and took in so much information.
So, for me, it's a practice 1) deciding what is valuable to me/my client 2) deciding what due diligence is 3) not rushing through the process and 4) reminding myself that the process is more important than the result. If I know what's valuable is finding boots and I do a damn good job comparing my favorite brands before finally pulling the trigger, my boots stepping in mud is less consequential than if I picked a pair of shit ass boots in haste.
Thank you
You'll pay the coat in socks otherwise
How many yards of coats are there in socks though
Depends on the sock, ankle, crew cut or thigh high?
That's a good point
Crew for boots
So we're looking at 20 yards of linen for the coat and I'd say a crew sock is about 4 inches across and let's say 2 feet long when equipped and stretched. I'm not really sure the dimensions of marx's 30 yards but I'd give it a width of one yard. A Marxist scholar would need to help.me determine if the 20 yards then means the area of the linen or as is common in textile the length of the linen with a standardized width, which I'm guessing is one yard. I live in metric country and fabric is usually a meter wide which is basically a yard. Someone who is good at math would know the formula to figure these out and I'd take the time to figure it out if I wasn't half drunk after a very busy work night.
much 2.think about
I am Really bad at arithmetic but when in brain mode am great at this kinda math. I am not in brain mode but now wish I was cause it's bugging me I don't know.
