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."

I sat down with my advisor Wednesday and we went over what I should do, where I was at etc. Had a good plan and all for what approach I should take with my data. Since then I have done literally nothing except that Friday/Saturday I drank 5 full bottles of wine and now I feel crap. I need all my thesis to go to my advisors by Oct 10 and I've written like 4 pages and done zero analysis.
you got time. i mean you need to do some work but you cannot get trapped into some idea that you blew it already. you haven't.
Yeah, but I haven't been able to do any productive work in months. I just feel defeated. I don't know why I can't get anything done, I just... Can't.
you can communicate this to your advisor, like they're people who did this too, and can give you help if they're not a dick
I have been. Just feels pointless. Work history's a mess so I don't feel like it'll get me a job. Environment is a mess so I don't feel like anyone can make a real difference there (my undergrad was conservation biology and enviro management). And my subs doctor took one of my take home doses off me because any time he thinks I'm doing ok he wants me "off drugs", because he's an old piece of shit.
can you become a batman villain?
Do batman villains get to just fall asleep and never have to wake up again?
God I wish
