Anti-Catholicism in the Mexican Revolution, 1913–1940 examines anti-Catholic leaders and movements during the Mexican Revolution, an era that resulted in a constitution denying the Church political rights. Anti-Catholic Mexicans recognized a common enemy in a politically active Church in a predominantly Catholic nation. Many books have elucidated the popular roots and diversity of Roman Catholicism in Mexico, but the perspective of the Church's adversaries has remained much less understood.This volume provides a fresh perspective on the violent conflict between Catholics and the revolutionary state, which was led by anti-Catholics such as Plutarco Elías Calles, who were bent on eradicating the influence of the Catholic Church in politics, in the nation's educational system, and in the national consciousness. The zeal with which anti-Catholics pursued their goals—and the equal vigor with which Catholics defended their Church and their faith—explains why the conflict between Catholics and anti-Catholics turned violent, culminating in the devastating Cristero Rebellion (1926–1929).Collecting essays by a team of senior scholars in history and cultural studies, the book includes chapters on anti-Catholic leaders and intellectuals, movements promoting scientific education and anti-alcohol campaigns, muralism, feminist activists, and Mormons and Mennonites. A concluding afterword by Matthew Butler, a global authority on twentieth-century Mexican religion, provides a larger perspective on the themes of the book. Learn more about your ad choices.

After Tyrese Haliburton's devastating injury in Game 7, I needed time to process. Not just as a Pacers fan, but as a collector. In this episode, I'm sharing how player heartbreak can pull you closer, not push you away.From playoff memories to grief, from Luck's retirement to chasing Haliburton cards—this is a raw and honest reflection on how collecting can become a coping mechanism, a connection point, and even therapy.If you've ever bought a card because of what it meant to you—not what it was worth—this one's for you.Start your 7 day free trial of Stacking Slabs Patreon Today[Distributed on Sunday] Sign up for the Stacking Slabs Weekly Rip Newsletter using this linkFollow Stacking Slabs: | Twitter | Instagram | Facebook | Tiktok

Welcome back to another episode of Fratello On Air! This week, we aim to debunk some of the most prevalent myths surrounding our beloved watch-collecting hobby. Some will be obvious, but some require some discussion. Enjoy the show!Misconceptions within the hobby have run rampant for as long as folks have been collecting watches. Therefore, it's time for us to challenge these beliefs. We can thank one of our longstanding listeners, thelostspringbar, for our topic. Specifically, he asked about "the top 5 myths or misconceptions about watch collecting."HandgelenkskontrolleWe kick off our show with a discussion about this year's Wimbledon tournament. Mike had the opportunity to attend for a day, and there were plenty of watches to be seen. This turns into a discussion about Boom! Boom! The World vs Boris Becker, a documentary on Apple TV. For the Handgelenkskontrolle, Mike is wearing a watch he rarely brings out of hiding. The Rolex GMT-Master 16758 escaped from the bank for a couple of days for a dinner outside the city. Balazs has a new release on his wrist. The blue Nivada Grenchen Aquamar (€1,095) is a lovely watch with a cool party trick in the way of changing lume.The top myths surrounding watch collectingThankfully, most watch collectors are good people. We've met loads of them, and 99% of our interactions have been positive. The problems, it seems, come when people are left to ruminate on videos, in forums, or on podcasts! All sorts of horror stories come out, and while there's likely truth behind the tales, many are overblown. We discuss some of the most common myths we hear and why you shouldn't believe everything you hear when it comes to watch collecting. The topics are as follows:Pre-owned and vintage watches are scaryOnly expensive watches are worth collectingThe Grail watch existsA large collection is required to be a serious collectorRolex is the only answer, or focusing on one brand is the only way to collectQuartz watches aren't collectibleWatches are always a great investmentWe hope you enjoy the show, and feel free to share the most popular myths you've heard related to watch collecting. Thanks for listening!
Strategic Generosity: Collecting, Curating, and Championing Emerging Artists with Leslie Fram In this galvanizing episode of What's My Thesis?, host Javier Proenza is joined by Leslie Fram—collector, curator, marketing strategist, MFA educator, and tireless champion of emerging talent—for a sweeping conversation that summons the urgent need for innovation as well as entrepreneurial literacy among artists today. Fram's multifaceted career is an exercise in forecasting trends. Formerly a dancer with the NYC Ballet, Fram studied art at Parsons, founded a fashion design company, became the Trends Editor of Cosmopolitan, obtained an MBA from Columbia University, segued into early Internet enterprises… and eventually arrived in Los Angeles to engage with the city's emerging art scene. Fram has cultivated a holistic approach to art, deploying business models from the various industries she has worked in. Marrying aesthetics with infrastructure, community with commerce, her approach is unique. Fram speaks candidly about the genesis of her annual MFAs of LA exhibitions, a curatorial endeavor born from her desire to showcase under-recognized artists while removing traditional barriers to entry for collectors. She shares her exhibition experiments in transparency, scale uniformity, collector-artist collaborations and her belief in art's ability to generate new forms of economic and social engagement. Fram's insights are consistently bracing, generous, out-of-the-box and solution-oriented. Listeners will come away with a deeper understanding of how artists can reclaim agency in the marketplace, why building relationships is central to sustainability, and how Fram herself continues to assist emerging artists on their respective trajectories to success. Through direct mentorship, educating with her strategic marketing workshops, sharing information as a form of gallery-whispering, and many other modes, Fram is always advocating on the artists' behalf. Topics covered include: The economics of emerging art: why size, pricing and communal experiences matter Institutional resistance to business education in art schools: how Fram works around it Collectors: her plans to ensure new collectors enter the marketplace, offering artists more opportunities for sales; understanding that they are artists' best supporters and how to build authentic relationships with them; perhaps, finding a different name for “collector” New models and formats: from artists' managers to new apps and technologies The future: art sales, blockchain royalties, and the power shift away from legacy galleries systems This episode is a masterclass in strategic vision, offered by someone who has not only built a practice around elevating others, but continues to do so with a rare mix of compassion, clarity and enthusiasm.

What's up, nerds? This week on the podcast, I'm joined by Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu practitioner and passionate collector Sam Bracamonte. Sam shares the story of how he began his BJJ journey, the hard-earned lessons he's learned while climbing the ranks, and how he prepares mentally and physically for major competitions. We also dive into the challenges that come with training—nerves, injuries, and plateaus—and how he overcomes them. But Sam isn't just a grappler—he's also a serious Marvel Legends collector. He breaks down how his collecting passion began, shares his favorite releases, talks about the hunt for rare figures, and reflects on the highs and lows of building an epic collection. To wrap up, we explore the unexpected ways the BJJ and collector communities overlap, from shared camaraderie to the thrill of the chase.

This week on the podcast, Zach Kazan is joined by Worn & Wound contributor Tommy DeMauro. Tommy has been writing for Worn & Wound for a little over a year, and his work occupies a very specific niche: accessible, affordable, and highly collectible vintage and neo-vintage watches. Tommy is uniquely obsessed with finding oddball references from years past and studying them deeply, and proves through his research that you don't have to spend much money at all to have something genuinely rare and special. Many of the watches Tommy writes about are eBay finds, and most are well under $500. Some are under $100. All of them, though, have something interesting going on in terms of their history, design, or functionality. In this conversation, Tommy explains how he got into watches in the first place and eventually found his niche with affordable vintage watches. They also discuss some of Tommy's articles that he's written for the website, including guides to the Seiko Orange Monster and the truly unusual Timex Triprix. Tommy also provides some advice to listeners who might be interested in dabbling in this corner of the watch market.To stay on top of all new episodes, you can subscribe to The Worn & Wound Podcast on all major platforms including Apple Podcasts, Stitcher, Spotify, and more.

But all the exciting shit is in the variance.” “If you have something else you'd rather be doing, then you should go do that.” “Books are so valuable because of how long they take to consume.” “Effort is universal. Doesn't matter if it's a garden or a podcast—people respect work.” “AI is going to wipe out the middle. If you're average, you're gone.” “Sage remembers things I don't—and that's priceless.” “Don't rush it. Make something great. A good book can sell for 50 years.” Quotes from Mitchell: “I get frustrated at how long this takes—but I want to build something meaningful.” “Turn everything into a car wash. Put the customer into neutral and pull them through.” “The tax code is getting more complex, but the systems are getting better.” “AI is going to destroy everything below the 95th percentile.” “I'm bootstrapping a holdco—and it takes time.” “Send me a customer, I'll give you $1,000. Send me 1,000 and I'll mortgage my house for you.” “I don't want 25 meetings a month—I want results.”
