Here's the poster announcing the vigil with full alt text instead of the abbreviated text provided in the OP:

A poster containing text and three photographs. The text, a mixture of Spanish and English, reads: Vigilia para Lorenzo Salgado Araujo. Vigil for Lorenzo Salgado Araujo. Honoremos la memoria de Lorenzo y las otras personas que han fallecido por cause de ICE. We will honor the memory of Lorenzo and other folks that have died at the hands of ICE. Sabado Julio 11 2026 en este pabellion en Braha Spring Park. Comienze a las 7pm. Proveeremos velas. Compartiremos recursos para conocer sus derechos y para proteger a nuestra communidad latin inmigrante. The first photograph depicts a man in a pink shirt standing in a kitchen in front of a birthday cake, smiling at the camera. The second photograph shows the pavilion at Brahan Spring Park where the vigil will be held. The third photograph shows two short candles that have been lit.

Jeffery Becker ( @serviliusahala.bsky.social ) has added this site to the #PleiadesGazetteer: pleiades.stoa.org/places/45697...

A grayscale satellite image map shows a modern urban area with streets, cars, and many multi-story, flat-topped buildings. A blue polygon with an orange dot at its center demarcates a major portion of one block, cutting across a number of buildings and a tree-lined paved area.

Awesome! In case anyone who comes along wants a map showing the location of the site or links to more reading, here's the Pleiades gazetteer entry: pleiades.stoa.org/places/589922

A gray-toned satellite map shows a northern coastal are of the island of Crete. A modern port facility is visible at the left edge, as are modern roads, buildings, and land divisions throughout. Near the the center and a short distance south of the coastline, a group of point symbols and an irregular blue outline show the location of ancient Mallia. A label at far right, in modern Greek, reads Αγία Βαρβάρα (Agia Barbara).

I've got new #PleiadesGazetteer stickers to hand out next week in Iowa City at the Association of Ancient Historians meeting! Original post: hcommons.social/@paregorios/...

A stack of round stickers spills out of a plastic bag on a desk surface. The first sticker is fully visible. It depicts a globe -- Africa, Asia, and Europe are visible -- with yellow and red dots covering the land areas and islands, especially around the Mediterranean and through southeast Asia and the Indian subcontinent, but points appear elsewhere too. Wrapped to fit around the edge of the globe one reads two groups of text. First, at the top, is "pleiades.stoa.org". Then, starting about half-way around on the right and flowing all the way to half-way around on the left: Catching up with the daughters of Atlas: the Pleiades gazetteer of ancient places at 20.

Yep. Pleiades provides "certain", "less certain" and "uncertain" as choices for connections, name associations, and location assignments. We try to reflect the choice in prose as here. The data says:

Punjeri makes connections with: Uncertain: Punjeri -> port of -> Mamallapuram (unspecified date range)

Till I run out of the People's gas? Well, the Bregel dataset coverage in WHG looks like this and I'd like to have corresponding Pleiades places for everything ancient/medieval therein. I've also been thinking about peninsular south India and Sri Lanka where P only has a 20th-century Romanist lens.
