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."

The "if I'm nd, then it must have come from somewhere" realization is hitting lately. Really for some time now. But in the time I've been looking into my own nd, I've been noticing things in my family that scream "we're all diagnosed adults", except for my dad.
On the one hand its illuminating. On the other it also brings challenges in so far as what exactly that means especially right now when it feels like everything around me is just so fucked up. My brother has been giving me the silent treatment for a few months now. And I've noticed how hyperfocused my mom can get sometimes to the point where she just doesn't know what's going on around her even if its happening just a few feet in front of her. And there's other things I've noticed from both (like stimming) that make me go "huh". But its frustrating because it'd be hard to really explain, especially to my mom, who has pretty antiquated views on nd. For example some of the things she complains about my brother, like leg bobbing, make me want to tell her that's probably just him stimming, but she thinks its just a matter of selfcontrol and that its going to make his anxiety worse.
Everything is so challenging though and while I understand nd (my own and that around me) better now than I ever have, its still so difficult because of the weight of it all. I got really close to moving out and then guilt set in and I ended up staying home to help out my parents even though I haven't been able to find a way to improve things with my brother in particular. So I continue to just feel like shit because I'm here living with someone who I just don't know how to deal with at this point because we both have nd aspects that don't really mesh all that well.
IDK... I'm just venting/ranting. Today has felt so frustrating and I coming to the realization that the more I kind of stay on the same path, especially as it pertains to the people pleasing aspect of myself and masking in general, the more I'm going down this selfdestructive spiral.
