running places when you need to get somewhere even when you're not late

Breaking into a full sprint feels really good sometimes. Usually, I reserve it for moments when I need to get somewhere quickly and never at the cost of others' safety on the sidewalk. But every once in a while, I can't help myself—I just wanna run! Easy way to make life feel cinematic. Looks insane.

RUNNING TO CATCH A BUS OR TRAIN

you thought you were gonna stroll down the sidewalk and eye-flirt with strangers on your way to work? WRONGGG. your ass is LATE LATE. time to pick up the pace. no shame in my game though. i really like doing this in moments when it's not 100% necessary. i absolutely loathe doing this when it's incredibly necessary (running very late and the difference between this bus or train and the next means losing an additional 15 minutes). i'm either running cause i care/fed up with my own bullshit lateness or running because it feels ELECTRIC. in both cases i never feel foolish for running. shoutout to fight or flight. BONUS POINTS: - gives the feeling of i'm starring in the film called MY LIFE and the world is my audience - gets the heart rate going

I’m very food motivated and that gets me to run places

You’re in New York: run to whatever cool new food place you’ve been looking to try. Run the distance, eat something delicious, then take transit home. Increasingly you can increase your one-way distance knowing that there’s a reward at the end and an easy way home not on your two feet. Also just doable as motivation to explore a certain neighborhood (could even make it more fun by taking transit to a new place and then running). As the summer months approach, though, my favorite type of run is one that ends in ice cream/a smoothie/some other fun thing to cool me down.

Vale of Cashmere

This is a semi-secluded place in Prospect Park. Kind of like a secret garden energy. Very special place. I used to go here in high school with friends who lived in the area mostly to smoke weed. A lot of weed-smoking in the city has to do with trying to access some kind of pastoral fantasy in this wacky town. This is exactly that embodied. It’s like a pond overgrown with various plants, and then a strange little lawn adjacent to it, where a lot of dubious characters sort of skitter around in and out of view; it makes it all the more trippy. Still go here when I need a minute. I don’t smoke that much weed any more.

Out of all the anonymous posters crawling around the internet I prefer my good friend @subwaysigns the most. All I’ll betray is his gender. I love his work very much. Following this page is not only a great opportunity to find and purchase some of the finest borrowed nostalgia; it’s also an invaluable archive of New York City’s transit design throughout the ages. Big ups to the homie for monetizing his passion.

The Collected Writings of Robert Smithson

This is something the whole family can enjoy. While I’m not really a fan of Rob Smithson’s art (think the spiral jetty film is better than the actual thing, kind of a silly looking creation no?) his writing is really great, sort of reeks of auto-didact vibes but there’s a contagious curiosity to all the shit even if you’re not certain on what he’s talking about. A really fierce intelligence with regards to the imbrication of the anthropocentric landscape, language, and industrial conditions writ large. It’s also just fun. On a sappier level I like reading this stuff because it reminds me to approach everything as a novice. The phrase “ruins in reverse” from A Tour of the Monuments of Passaic, New Jersey (1967) has haunted me for a while now.
