Small mockup/proof of concept of an experimental video technique, one which I have dubbed "Jumpcalm". I am looking to further develop this idea for use in psychotherapy and mental health practices at scale.

Of course it goes without saying that I am hopelessly dependent on the ingot

Behind my home winds an Arroyo. Elephant Grass, an escapee from the landscaping of some wealthy immigrant upstream, spreads downstream each year. Far from its home range in the foothills of the Himalayas, there is no Monsoon Season to break up the strands, and it does not flower. I wonder if the entire strand is a single organism. Each winter, the frosts kill everything above ground, leaving ten foot tall tinder to split and fray in the sun.

There is a Rapeseed plantation downcountry. They don’t call themselves that: if you ask them, they’d say they are an Agricultural Conglomerate Cultivating Organic Non-GMO Canola Oil. But as I watch the blooms of escaped Rapeseed sprout many miles downwind of any legal claim, I feel compelled to use the antiquated nomenclature.

Off the coast, Spiny Lobster go about their days, their brilliantly colored shells and large antenna distinguishing them from the Lobster I sell at Work. That Lobster grew in waters many hundreds of miles north, on the other side of Canada, in Alaska. Our California Spiny Lobster is worth 3x as much in China, and most of those caught will be shipped there to be consumed. Petroleum will be burned both ways; refrigerators and freezers running all the while. Much of the lobster I defrost does not sell, not for $45/lb, and inevitably will be thrown away, uneaten.

The drywall in my home is mostly Gypsum. They say that there’s a vein of Gypsum in New Mexico big enough to supply the USA with drywall for 1000 years. I do not wonder why that estimate is phrased that way. Never mind that the Gypsum is a relic of an ancient Sea; the bones of a landform, and took tens of thousands of years to form. The walls are excellent. Fire retardant. Rot resistant.

Chocolate Milk, in a plastic half-gallon jug, from the grocery store. A taste and texture of and from my childhood. It is thick: it does not separate, it needs no shakings before serving. In the Philippines and Indonesia, kelp is raised in shallow sea beds, strung along fishing lines and bamboo posts. The weeds are harvested and dried, ground, sifted, washed. It is treated with hot alkali, centrifuged, filtered. The Carrageenan that results will be mixed with chocolate powder from god-knows-where, such that it will remain suspended in the milk long past its expiry date.

Long-tongued, termite-munching numbats are no longer endangered due to decades of successful conservation efforts, the global authority on the status of the natural world says.

Also known as banded anteaters, the status of the pint-sized marsupial has improved to near-threatened on the International Union for Conservation of Nature Red List. ''Today's assessments show that long-term, strategic and collaborative conservation effort works,'' conservation biologistJohn Woinarski said on Friday. ''Without it, invasive cats and foxes will continue to drive Australia's small marsupials and native rodents to extinction.''
