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.

Theory:
In a week i should have a house and I should be able to finally start growing a weed without worrying about apartment maintenance people being narcs
But my partner, despite being like 30, doesn't want her parents to know we smoke or drink so i guess i have to figure out how to hide it still? she was saying she'd tell her parents one of the sheds is all fucked from termites or something but like. that would just make them want to look
It's all kind of annoying me, like my parents gave me this "my roof my rules" bullshit all my life, I don't want to have to hide shit now that it's my house
Just declare the shed your "hobby room" and get your lady to say that you are protective of it. "With all the things going on in the world he likes to have a space where he can work on his projects and he can control everything and everything is just where he left it."
