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.

I think my achilles injury is a long haul thing. I have mostly stayed off my feet for the past week and a half or so, walking a half mile at most since it got really bad... Then I got a little over a mile in today just running errands and standing to do chores and my shit is fucked. Luckily I start physical therapy next week, but this can be a months long recovery process. I was really looking forward to getting out more this summer, going camping, being more active and exercising but it looks like it'll be another boring summer...
I guess I'll just have to be one of those guys that gets swole but skips leg day. Hopefully I'll have the motivation to do that, anyway. Ugh
If you're in your 20s and you start to notice your heel/achilles tendon/bottom of your feet getting tender after walking around all day GET THAT SHIT CHECKED OUT. Wear insoles, especially if you wear Vans, strengthen your calves, this shit sucks, I put off dealing with it and now I'm suffering the consequences
found Tyrese Haliburton's alt
sorry u are going through that tho
I also have persistent Achilles issues and have to stretch constantly or they lock up
I had no idea who that was so I looked it up and... That fucking sucks for the guy, 25 years old. Hope he recovers!
So what is bad is that I think it's insertional achilles tendonitis, so most treatment for achilles tendonitis that you see online.... Is the opposite of what youre supposed to do for it. Like stretching is bad for it, anything that lengthen the muscles or puts your foot in dorsiflexion like calf raises where you go below neutral on a step, walking uphill, is really bad. I've really been aggravating it by trying to increase my ankle mobility so ive done all of those things together recently. Just glad I didnt tear anything
I'm glad u are listening to sound medical advice and not internet anecdotes haha. I guess you don't want to lose strength by immobilizing it? Or would a wrap / walking boot help?
I mean I WAS listening to the internet....until I found more info about it on the internet that made sense lol. For regular achilles tendonitis I think all the typical online advice is effective though. My PT appointment is next week so hopefully I'll get some good program set up for it but literally the only thing I saw that would help is calf raises which I'm gonna start doing anyway. Hope you've got somewhat of a handle on your issues because this shit suuuuuucks
