In Snow Line, the first segment of the multimedia feature Seasoning a Kid, filmmaker adam amir and his young son, Rumi, climb the same mountain near Vancouver year after year to feel the impossibly vivid shift in color on either side of the snow line.

"Meeting the Migration"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3qal6X1DpyU

"In this second film from the multimedia feature Seasoning a Kid, adam and Rumi go out to greet migrating animals arriving at stopover sites in British Columbia, camping underneath skies and beside waters as they fill with the vast, kinetic presence of sandhill cranes, snow geese, spawning herring, and all manner of Pacific salmon."

"Sakura"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bTp0fclKG-M

"In this third film from the multimedia feature Seasoning a Kid, adam and his young son, Rumi, revel in the days-long blooming of cherry trees in Vancouver. Opening the way to notice the myriad traditions that welcome spring in this landscape, this practice shows how we can connect with the seasons by both honoring the relationships that have existed for millennia and recognizing the new relationships taking shape in the land."

"Plucking as Prayer"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6_wHKW3KyqQ

"In this final film from the multimedia feature Seasoning a Kid, adam and Rumi celebrate the coming of berry season in Vancouver, BC. Gorging on an abundance of salmonberries, thimbleberries, strawberries, salal berries, blackberries, red, purple, and blue huckleberries, they bend, kneel, and offer gratitude in a practice where plucking becomes prayer."]]]></description>

    <link>https://culanth.org/fieldsights/series/handson-touching-the-digital-planet</link>
    <dc:creator>robertogreco</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["HandsOn is about the extraordinary ways our fingers and hands sense, guide, and grip our digital world. In this series we examine the tensions and connections between our sense of touch and the digital universe that drives our everyday lives. That said, this is not a series on the digital, rather it is a collection of essays about hands on and in a digital planet. To understand the impact of the digital environments in which we live, we also need to understand and write forth situations where there are hands on the material world, grasping non-digital spaces.

The most extraordinary thing about hands, palms, and fingers are the ways they move, touch, and reveal disparate human conditions. The thirteen essays in this series connect to different parts of the sensory cortex, yet they are all concerned with the ways our hands touch, absorb, or are indifferent to the digital segments of living. From Zanzibar, Krishnendu Ray keeps an eye on Wahida, as she skillfully uses her hands to prepare and serve food. He reconsiders the human hand in a digital world that still cooks and cleans too close to sharp edges and fires. From Unjárga-Nesseby in Northern Norway, Stine Rybråten writes about Sara, who picks cloudberries with one hand. In her other hand she holds the smartphone that makes it possible for her dad to share what they used to do side-by-side. While many youngsters seem to live online, their fingers always busy, Trygve Beyer Broch examines how young boys thrive in handball arenas, throwing, embracing, and high-fiving. Don Kulick pays much more attention to his hands than he used to. Diagnosed with Raynaud’s syndrome and living in Sweden, he puts his digits to use to search online for warmer weather elsewhere—Portugal perhaps. Tuva Beyer Broch considers her young interlocuters swiping and scrolling, and remembers her own youth, taking turns in writing a diary with a friend. Lenore Manderson shares the history of her hand, its brace and finding the nerve to manage nerves and nervousness. Our hands are mischievous and can do many tasks online and off, as Anne Meneley explains. Marie Heřmanová examines a closeup of entwined fingers, a mother holding her baby’s hand, baby feet in a father’s big hand. Instagram is full of hands. Saiba Varma uses creative prose to explore—perhaps to lessen the hurting of writing about hands that hurt. To explore how hands convey feelings of injury, she brings in two voices that share their experiences about hands that hurt through and by music and social media. Aalyia Sadruddin writes from Rwanda, where young and old train their hands to participate in new forms of social and economic life defined by digitalization. Anna-Maria Walter generally follows Alpine skiers online, however, to take snapshots in remote destinations, she holds her smartphone and ski poles tight in their pursuit. From Japan Daniel White and Hirofumi Katsuno ask, “How does the design of artificial hands transform what hands can do?” as they consider the edges between our sense of touch and technology. Ninety-nine percent of all online communication moves through cables at the bottom the oceans. Nefissa Naguib considers Per’s freezing hands as he splices together cables that have come undone to keep us in touch online."]]></description>

    <dc:creator>robertogreco</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["Red Delicious was A+ in its original incarnation. Then folks kept grafting from bud sports (=sometimes a tree throws a branch that's a little different, it's normal) w darker & darker fruit. Selected for color instead of quality. 100+ yrs later we now have purple foamballs.

[quoting: "If I had a time machine I would 100% make sure that the person who named the Red Delicious apple was brought to justice"
https://twitter.com/faithchoyce/status/1055944025121771520]

(2/) Weirdly this makes some evolutionary sense. When confronted w a variety of otherwise identical fruit (say, bins of apples at the store), humans go for the darkest red ones.

In nature, that's how you eat the ripe ones & leave bb fruit to mature.

(3/) So. All other things being equal, if you have multiple apple varieties at the store, the darkest red ones tend to sell the fastest. It's not hard to see how that wound up being the priority for deciding which Red Delicious variants to graft.

(4/) Tl;dr a lot of the stuff that the food movement blames on "bad agriculture" or w/e is ... really just the result of a lot of micro-scale human decisions that made sense on their own. Then they snowball into something weird.

(5/) Also when I worked in fruit breeding the weirdest thing would happen. Us in the breeding program would wind up with our favorite cultivars. We liked the ones with a lot of flavor: strong, balanced acidity & sweetness with a lot of aroma.

(6/) There was this one blueberry that had this amazing rich flavor. Thick, jammy with a little bit of blackberry to it. mmmmmm

(7/) But when we actually did the flavor testing? Let civilians eat our new berry crosses?

They LOOOVED the most watery, insipid, shitty berries. Kept giving them top marks, and our favorite big-flavor berries always wound up in the middle.

(8/) IIRC the top-testing blueberry from that program during my time there was Meadowlark. Bless its heart, it's a great bush- but the fruit is a bland-ass water bean. Its max flavor level is a faint whiff of violets.

(9/) Anyway, it seems like every other thinkpiece about ~food these days~ has obligatory remarks on how The Scientists Are Breeding Crops For Durability Instead of Flavor.

lmao fuck that, we keep TRYING to breed for flavor & getting sabotaged by y'all on the taste panels

(10/) Again, there's some really complex human systems stuff going on in our produce markets. Like asking why so many ppl seem to prefer bland fruit. We'd really be able to help ourselves out if we actually ... looked at that?

(11/) But it wraps the story up in a neat little bow to blame ~science~ so sure let's do that instead.

 -cut to scientists hissing Gollum-style over the 3 good berry plants from their field trials that never made it to market because The People Have Spoken- 🤣

(12/) Hrmmm replies have turned into a "let's hate on the plebes who don't appreciate fruit like ~we~ do" sesh.

The entire point of this thread was, there's a HUGE spectrum of flavors out there most of us don't ever encounter & we don't know what we don't know.

(13/) Statistically speaking, MOST OF US in the ol' u s of a are secretly one of those majority of people who like shitty bland fruit, AND WE'LL NEVER KNOW IT."]]></description>

    <dc:creator>robertogreco</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["If he went to jail to demonstrate his commitment to freedom of others, he went to the berries to exercise his own recovered freedom, the liberty to do whatever he wished, & the evidence in all his writing is that he very often wished to pick berries. There’s a widespread belief, among both activists & those who cluck disapprovingly over insufficiently austere activists, that idealists should not enjoy any pleasure denied to others, that beauty, sensuality, delight all ought to be stalled behind some dam that only the imagined revolution will break. This schism creates, as the alternative to a life of selfless devotion, a life of flight from engagement, which seems to be one way those years at Walden Pond are sometimes portrayed. But change is not always by revolution, the deprived don’t generally wish that the rest of us would join them in deprivation, & a passion for justice & pleasure in small things are not incompatible. That’s part of what the short jaunt from jail to hill says."]]></description>
