My student during our historical cemetery project found two connected gravestones with somewhat mysterious second inscriptions, and I'm a bit stumped - any ideas? Orthodox church symbology?

When I say "I have a conflict with this meeting" I do not mean that I have another meeting at the same time.
What I mean is, I take ubmrage against it. I have a feud with it on a historic scale.

Zohran Mamdani caught lying that he understood Plato’s allegory of the cave, yet when asked to explain it, he seemed to instead explain Baudrillard’s theory of Simulacra and Simulation where reality has been replaced by symbols and signs, which seems similar to Plato’s theory but is not the same

This new piece by @ericdharvey.com is so thoughtful and points to the fact that “indie” became, across the 2010s, an identity representing the “tasteful” individual subject, the neolib “subject of interests” par excellence.

I try to avoid "real organizers vs. fake/keyboard organizers" framings for the most part but one thing you learn quickly from organizing is how difficult it is to get people to do anything at all, how much you're competing against sociologically. people are overworked and tired

Building momentum for a general strike is very hard because everyone thinks they're The One who'll feel the backlash, rather than realizing that the more people involved, the less backlash there can even be. And naysayers sneering "you 1st" fundamentally miss that it's gotta be a bunch of us at once
