  5. Ashes to ashes, corpse to #compost: #GreenWoodCemetery to offer ‘human composting’ starting in 2027

    By Kirstyn Brendlen

    "In pursuit of a more eco-friendly future, Green-Wood #Cemetery is going back to basics.

    "Starting next year, the storied cemetery will offer a new burial option: 'natural organic reduction,' also known as human composting.

    "The process is fairly similar to run-of-the-mill composting. Bodies are sealed in specialized 'pods' on a bed of hay, straw and alfalfa. The pods — designed to regulate moisture and airflow — rock gently back and forth to help speed decomposition.

    "After just 40 days, the contents of the pod break down into roughly 160 pounds of nutrient-dense soil, which will be used to support Green-Wood’s many plants and trees. "

  20. #NoOtherLand

    Film screening:
    Sun, Oct 6, 2024

    Part of #NYFF62 at #BAM and #BAMFilm2024

    Directed by #BaselAdra, #HamdanBallal, #YuvalAbraham, #RachelSzor (2024)

    "This eye-opening, vérité-style documentary, made by a #Palestinian-#Israeli collective of four directors over the course of five years, provides a harrowing account of the systematic onslaught of destruction experienced by Masafer Yatta, a group of Palestinian villages in the southern West Bank, at the hands of the Israeli military. Headed by Palestinian activist Basel Adra and Israeli journalist Yuval Abraham (also two of the film’s directors), the collective commits itself to filming and protesting the demolitions of homes and schools and the resulting displacement of their inhabitants, which were carried out to make way for Israeli military training ground. In addition to the indelible footage of destruction and expulsion captured by its undaunted witnesses, No Other Land serves as a moving portrait of friendship between Adra and Abraham, who form a philosophical and political alliance despite the drastic differences in their abilities to exist freely in this world. Winner of the Panorama Audience Award for Best Documentary Film at the 2024 Berlinale."

  21. Parkour and I, six years ago

    It’s endlessly rewarding to regularly read through my old journals. Six years ago, June 5 2015, I can now see was a turning point for me. I hopped in a car with John G. and Nick R. and headed to Brooklyn for what would be a life-changing experience.

    I had been jumping on stuff pretty seriously for a few years, and the “USA Motion Tour”—a merry band of a few Yamakasi—was rolling into New York City. Two people, now good friends of mine after many years, hosted me on their floor. That was my first true “parkour floor” experience; two square meters to sleep, wifi and a bathroom. I trained my heart out, in a good way, and it was a gateway to countless and continuing adventures.

    To everyone who was there— I cannot thank you enough. On commence ensemble, on finit ensemble.
