On this day in 1848, more than 40,000 French workers initiated the June Days Uprising after the state closed National Workshops that provided work to the unemployed, causing 10,000 casualties and 4,000 workers to be deported to Algeria.

The National Workshops had only been formed a few months earlier, when, on February 25th, a group of armed workers interrupted a session of the provisional government to demand “the organization of labor” and “the right to work”.

In late June, the Second Republic began planning to close the workshops, leading to a national uprising. In sections of the city, hundreds of barricades were thrown up. The National Guard was sent in to quell the rebellion, and workers seized weapons from local armories to fight back.

The violence, which lasted just three days, resulted in more than 10,000 casualties and 4,000 participants to be deported to Algeria. Among the dead was Denis Auguste Affre, Archbishop of Paris, killed while trying to negotiate peace with an angry crowd.

The rebellion was successfully crushed, and the episode put a hold on revolutionary ambitions of radical Republicans at the time. In its aftermath, the French Constitution of 1848 was adopted, mandating that executive power be wielded by a democratically elected president.

The first president under this framework was Napoleon Bonaparte, who dissolved the constitution during his first term in office.

    Wish the Uma Musume game weren’t gacha. I enjoyed the show, the music slaps, and the characters are super cute, but I’ll be damned if I ever touch a gacha game again.

    Finally decided to take my own bike out for my commute for the past couple days and of course I decide to do it in the middle of a heat wave. Honestly though not too bad. Did get a bit winded on my way to work, but I made it just in time. Close to 11 miles in total each of the past two days.

    There was a bird on the path ahead of me, i was about three strides away, expecting it to fly off or hop out of the way, I continued approaching as it just stared me down and all I could think was wow this bird is completely stone cold until I was about half a pace away then just jumped to one side at the last moment revealing the small poo it had been doing. Well played, bird

    Work was crap but I made a pretty solid joke. One of the servers said she jammed her finger in the dishwasher and now her finger hurts(referring to the machine), I asked how Chris (the dishwasher in job title) felt about it

    What the fuck kind of cop brained little fascist do you have to be to call the city to report someone for their lawn being too long??

    I unironically support the death penalty for anyone who has ever done that. Like if you think that having to see tall grass is something to get people fined over, I honestly think the way your mind works is so fucked up that there is no saving you.

    To date, I have found only one work dedicated to Hegel and Spinoza in Vygotsky. However, both Vygotsky and Spinoza have been transformed in this work into Hegelian analytical philosophers. Consequently, the Soviet context completely disappears from this study (Derry 2013).

    This passage is omitted from the English version of the text. See Russian original (Ilyenkov 1984: 37–38).

    Although in the passage about pointing gesture Vygotsky directly refers to Hegel, the English translation masks his Hegelian terminology: gesture in-itself (zhest v sebe) translated simply as “pointing gesture” and gesture for itself (zhest dlya sebya) translated as “gesture for oneself” (Vygotsky 1997c: 104–05). See Russian edition (Vygotsky 1983: 143–44).

    The expression “difficult unity” is paraphrased in English translation (Vygotsky 1987: 250). See Russian edition (Vygotsky 1982: 306).

    It’s incredible the extent Western psychology has recuperated Vygotsky by maltranslating and selectively teaching his body of work.

    Finally got a fucking prescriber to give me adderall, I am so excited, probably too excited. I really hope it makes a difference, otherwise I am all out of ideas and I think I will seriously have to reckon with accepting that I cannot compare myself to other neurotypical people. I am planning on doing that anyway but like it would be nice to be able to work 32-40 hours a week and actually WANT to hang out afterwards, or work on my garden, or ride my bike, or read or play videogames or even do any of that when I DON’T have to work. Also hoping that 10mg works well, it’s already stigmatized enough that I get really anxious about even asking.
