my live reaction to the Brooklyn Queens Expressway in new york:

"wow how did this person find a time with no traffic delays?"

"is this really how people drive in new york?"

"wow those lanes really are narrow, how is this even considered a highway?"

"that ford escape is gonna cause a fucking accident!"

"wow, think of all the buildings that used to be here before this highway was build over them..."

"this is way to much space to dedicate to a highway in an urban area"

"why are there so many schoolbuses??"

"ive never seen a "hill blocks view" sign before"

"why are the lane markers solid here? why cant you change lanes??"

"cant they choose a fucking road surface to use and stick with it?"

"45 mph speed limit enforced by radar?? thats harsh"

"ooh we're elevated"

"i feel for those people going the other direction, about to run smack into a traffic jam"

"dude, you had so much time to move into that exit lane, and then you decide to do it the moment youre not legally allowed to?? what??"

"wow theyre really keeping us waiting with the promise of 'road work: expect delays'"

"12' 4" of clearance?? brutal. jeez"

"omg its the triple cantilever!!!"

"oh my god its a suburban. wow, it can barely fit in that lane!"

"40 mph around that corner?? that f150 better slow down, my god"

"oh hey a BQE tour from the 90s?"

This is truly an amazing photo: The Long Island Motor Parkway (AKA Vanderbilt Parkway) in 1908 with the Manhattan skyline in the background. Built in 1908 and running from Queens to Ronkonkoma, Long Island, historians have called it the first road in the country built specifically for automobiles. The privately built toll road featured overpasses and bridges with a toll of $2 when it opened – limiting the roadway for wealthy men wishing to race their new cars. The parkway was closed and absorbed by the state in 1938. Part of the trail still exists as a bike trail in Queens. #longislandhistory #brooklyn #longislandmotorparkway #longisland #brooklyn #robertmoses #vanderbiltparkway #longislandexpressway #lie #bqe #brooklynqueensexpressway #nyhistory #hychistory #urbanism #urbanplanning #thepowerbroker #architecture #urbandesign #cityplaning #urbanplanning #vanderbiltmansion #ronkonkoma (at Queens, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/CfrN-ZKOFWz/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Need your list of fave Sufsongs from each album bestie!!!

LOL honestly i feel like most of my choices are pretty basic/align broadly with the fan favorites? like these would be my picks off the cuff

javelin: shit talk, will anybody ever love me?, genuflecting ghost (going to physically stop myself from listing the entire album lmao. the only one i love a tiny bit less than the others is everything that rises)

beginner's mind: it's your own body and mind, back to oz, olympus

the ascension: america, the ascension, run away with me (shoutout also to my rajneesh)

greatest gift: city of roses, the hidden river of my life

planetarium: mercury, jupiter

c&l: john my beloved, should have known better

silver & gold: christmas unicorn, barcarola (honorable mention to mr. frosty man)

adp: djohariah, the owl and the tanager

age of adz: vesuvius, i want to be well, impossible soul

songs for christmas: sister winter, come on! let's boogey to the elf dance!

avalanche: the mistress witch from mcclure

illinois: the predatory wasp of the palisades is out to get us!

seven swans: seven swans, size too small

michigan: romulus, vito's ordination song

a sun came: rake, leil, dumb i sound, joy! joy! joy! (also i've decided that i will defend supersexywoman with my dying breath. a camp comphet banger idc)

stalker (yes i listened to the leak lmao): save yourself before you die

#skipped aporia/the instrumental works bc i haven't listened to them enough. the entirety of bqe slaps though #anon #ask

It’s nice when you need a nail to hang something and then the two random things actually go together. The porcelain by @studio.jennilukasiewicz is an impression of a big wad of raw cotton and plant detritus found at the edge of an Oklahoma cotton field. The plein air painting, oil on wood, h12”xw12” is of the scrap yard on the #gowanuscanal with the #bqe in the background. #nystreets #nycstreets #nycpainter #newyorkart #newyorkartist #artcollector #ceramics #ceramicart #sculpture #contemporaryceramics #clay #pottery #pleinairartist #pleinairpainter #pleinairpainting #pleinairart #pleinair #outdoorpainting #landscapepainting #oilpainting #impressionism #allaprimapainting #paintingfromlife #cityscapes #plein_air_life (at Brooklyn, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/ClGqoGML8lA/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
