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.

wait @blipblip@hexbear.net and @Florn@hexbear.net that's facts about ADHD? would i need anything beyond that past diagnosis to get "make brain work better" drugs? idk if i have any record of it anymore...
Yup. It'd probably depend on the person prescribing the meds, some are going to want to talk to you and diagnose you themselves, others could just take your word for it and start trailing meds.
Look for a psychiatrist that specializes in ADHD, even better if they specifically mention adult ADHD or mention having it themselves - plenty of medical professionals still don't get it and believe that it's something that kids have and out grow when they were either just misdiagnosed or learned to mask it.
If the first meds they want to try are a stimulant of some kind you've found a psych that is at least competent. If they want to try other things first they don't know what they're doing with regards to ADHD treatment and you'd probably be better served finding another psychiatrist
Oh and at least in my experience the actual diagnosis process was just talking with the psych and filling out a sheet with a list of symptoms and choosing how often I experienced them, and then another appointment where they made me do a very boring memory exercise while tracking my head movement. I don't think most places would do the 2nd bit it's just that the clinic I went to was predominantly for adult ADHD treatment, run by people with ADHD.
