Surprised (not surprised) in a Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy search for Hypatia (philosopher/mathematician) in the 14 pages of results there is only one result on page 10 for the actual person (not journal/book titles refs). And that’s to use her murder as context of an ancient bloke’s plight.

Playtimers braved the weather to make a truly great session. We ranged from propositional truth to individual truths, exploring if truth resides in objects or our minds, or some combo; its relation with beliefs, judgements, values; are there absolutes or transient truths, & what’s the difference?
#PHILOSOPHY PLAYTIME!
This week we play with the idea ‘what is truth?’

Spent some time today sitting on the floor of the McMannus taking in the lines and organic shapes of Mella Shaw’s Sound Lines, beautiful yet poignant representations of sonar’s detrimental affect on whales.

Our next piece was pegged to March, though now it's looking more like April, because I don't have the finances to cover essential materials. If you have any of your own resources to spare, would you consider a paid subscription? Even one month would go a long way. Thanks. buttondown.com/TYFYFL
New from @fractalecho.bsky.social and me. Our piece focuses on one person and organization, but it's about a seedy grift that permeates disability inclusion, in which those who aspire to “be the only” emulate those whose power they worship. buttondown.com/TYFYFL/archi...

Very Jolly start to 2026. Our play oscillated between two jollies, ie unreflective/enforced & meaningful/resistance, when wondering about how being jolly relates to flourishing, is it a disposition/skill/both?
Concluded that we all have our own season to be jolly, filled with meaning and community.
