Out Of The House And Onto The Farm

Sat, 18 May 2013 23:56:57 -0400

On a sunny afternoon last week, while the rest of New York’s schoolchildren were stuck indoors, 15 kids were literally rolling around in the dirt while their parents looked on approvingly….

The children, most of whom are home-schooled, are students in the Farm and Forest Home School program, a unique project of Eden Village Camp and the Jewish Farm School.

At last week’s session, the group went on a nature walk in the forest together then broke into two groups: the ones 8 and under scavenged for seeds and worms across the farm while the older group wrestled with some weeds before planting kale, chard and collard greens….

Photographer travels the world taking photos of religious women

“Throughout the span of her project, Valabrega met characters she never imagined she’d speak to. In Israel, she met with settler women as dawn broke on a brisk morning to take their portraits as they picked apples. In the rolling hills of Northern Israel, she sat with one chasidic woman, arrayed in a white turban, and learned how to listen to the wind by moonlight. She sat in alleys in the Old City of Jerusalem, meeting with old Moroccan women and learning their family history, counting the wrinkles that came from roaming the desserts of the Middle East. At the Western Wall, she photographed a cane-toting woman who told her she came to pray every day for 25 straight years to beg God for children.”

The New York Times’ favorite buzzword: ‘Hipsters’

The Times is back in Brooklyn, once again awkwardly documenting a trend that just won’t go away: Young people. Let’s look at a few of the ways the Grey Lady has described hipsters, shall we? From 2012:

The hipster haunts every city street and university town. Manifesting a nostalgia for times he never lived himself, this contemporary urban harlequin appropriates outmoded fashions (the mustache, the tiny shorts), mechanisms (fixed-gear bicycles, portable record players) and hobbies (home brewing, playing trombone). He harvests awkwardness and self-consciousness. Before he makes any choice, he has proceeded through several stages of self-scrutiny. The hipster is a scholar of social forms, a student of cool. He studies relentlessly, foraging for what has yet to be found by the mainstream.

LOL, okay.
