the Cork Transport Workers' Union took possession of the Harbour Board's offices and assumed complete control of the local port, forming a workers' soviet until negotiations could be resolved.

The Cork Harbour Strike was a labor dispute that lasted from September 2nd to September 7th, 1921. It was the result of the refusal of the Cork Harbor Board to increase the wages of its workers to a minimum of 70s a week.

On September 6th, 1921, the Cork Transport Workers' Union took possession of the Harbour Board's offices and assumed complete control of the port.

According to the New York Times, "when the strikers took possession of the Harbour Board offices, they hoisted a red flag as a token of Soviet control and the strikers' leaders announced their intention of collecting dues from shipping agents and using them to pay members of the union."

The rebellion was short-lived, however, as negotiations between the Harbour Board and the strikers were reopened soon after, which came to a successful resolution. The revolt was not well-taken in the press.

The Irish Times wrote "To-day Irish Labour is permeated with a spirit of revolt against all the principles and conventions of ordered society. The country's lawless state in recent months is partly responsible for this sinister development, and the wild teachings of the Russian Revolution have fallen on willing ears."

Bike rode great with the re-built free wheel. Set a (admittedly modest) distance record of 12 miles today. Haven't done that since I was a skinny energetic teenager with no drivers license.

:::spoiler had an hour long conversation with my ex over the phone. She spilled everything out to me, we touched on things from a long time ago, from a little bit later, etc. Her fears, as i figured, and so on. She is set. I need to change, which is understandable, but the timelines were hard to promise. She wants me to be someone she can still look up to. I want to be someone she still looks up to. I think I am, I just had a bad year. There's still so much love in her voice. I had my chance to be thankful for everything. I told her everything i missed about her. She was careful not to make me think there's a chance to get back together.

I told her the thought of her dating again hurt, she told me I shouldn't worry about it. There is literally no one around here, except people i dont really want to see. People came out to show support, but it wasn't very deep and meaningful, which turns out was the same for her.

I didn't tell her what i was doing with my day. I'm going to the Mamdani Town Hall today. I've already gotten the ball rolling with my change, and it'll start by being where people are.

:::spoiler Women hold up half the sky but with men they hold 120% of the emotional weight

So before the Town Hall yesterday, my ex got her chance to clearly lay everything down. I was correct in my analysis, and also correct to think that already long standing concerns of mine were the problem. I am better motivated to face these, but we're talking stuff that pans out over timelines of months. She can make the choice to trust her intuition again, believe me either capable of changing or not, or see it. It left me really clear headed, and determined. I have things to change, but also a future I wanted to work towards.

But the best came after the rally. A friend of mine had come back for the weekend. I was supposed to be there to see them before just jumping onto the rally, but meeting out in a bar some miles away was fine. I had the chance to share what was happening, but I'm really appreciative to speak with some women about every thing. Both were wives, coincidentally, They were my friends, and they were wives? I dont know how to frame this correctly. But it felt like I had more to gleam for their perspective. Like a few others have said, I had the healthy view on what to do next. Endlessly appreciative to them for taking some time with me.

More importantly was the social aspect. I had no one to see or hang out with out here, not in the drop-in/drop-out nature that i was looking for. Small things that make me push myself to be more active, present, and involved with myself in my own life. It just sucks that we need people in our lives but life and the environment make that difficult. That sometimes paid spaces are all we have to come together in. The good news is i'm now working with a refreshed image of my social circle, some how maintained despite being negligent towards it. No one hates me or anything, sometimes we accept that life pulls us different directions and we wash ashore where we started.

It still hurts, but like a wound does when you acknowledge it and sit observing it, it's a spiritual or spectral kind of hurt, of knowing that this is pain, even if it doesnt actually hurt.

Just remembered a bit from way back playing through the mgs games with a roommate where Solid, Liquid, Raiden, Solidus and Big Boss thought that snakes were turtles. Also Ocelot has never had anything going resembling a plan and just allies with anyone who wants to and double crosses them whenever it's funniest.

Rambling about Silksong, mechanical/content spoilers

Silksong is really good. Like, really good, it's everything I've wanted so far. Hornet's moveset is so much more dynamic and fluid, and while it's harder to master, it's a ton of fun to pull it off.

One thing that seems to be a common skill issue is having the diagonal pogo. It does take a while to get used to, but the skill filter area can be done with a downward pogo if you explore well enough beforehand. I made it through without the dash and only the diagonal pogo, but if you explore you can get a dash and a downward pogo moveset that feels more familiar to Hollow Knight.

That's what's been so great so far, there's intentional sequence breaks that allow you to get upgrades sooner than the critical path that make the critical path easier, but you can also just go the critical path and you aren't punished for it. Hornet is just so much fun to control with the running dash and combos you can do, I'm having a ton of fun!

finally watched zoolander and while some things aged bad it was still I got to watch it .My main problem is I have to stop myself from talking like him with how goddamn impressionable I am. I don't think it's a bad thing to be honest just means I gotta be chose-y with the energies I surround myself with.
