you can see on one side the sunset in one large beautiful glow backing the city image , and on the other side you can also see the apposite roseate light in lozenges against the beams of the bridge. looking back and forth is pleasant, and easy if seated perpendicular to the walls of the train. and soon after getting off the train to meet adrian in chinatown you will no longer remember seeing this and being happy until the next morning when on the N train slightly post-sunrise reforming the association from a similar experience on the same bridge

A great experience every time. gorgeous. deeply moving. Something about nature through the concrete really gets me

Sometimes I like to read or do homework or just scroll on my phone while I commute but today I just feel like looking out the train.
It's a really nice today today, very sunny, and I love watching how the sunlight hits the buildings and trees as I pass through.

revisited this on an earlier stretch of the northeast corridor... i recommend listening to math rock in transit. there is something about the internetted and regular rhythms that when cumulative over the course of a song/album will lead to the listener being moved and “opened”. it is maybe the closest music feels to pure information. love it in tandem with transit-windowed visual information, sound and image feel “encoded” in 2 simultaneous and meaningful streams. while listening today i thought the words “sleepy bloom” about how it felt coming into my brain

this is a totally inward and wordless thing i find myself doing on transit (in periods when i am confused about myself). An anticipatory heterosexual practice and preparatory exercise in terms of returning to new york. where there is daily opportunity for this. I am recommending this while in the bus bathroom which is a mobile and speckled portapotty essentially. This “passes the time”

Delicious burritos and tortas, also there are juices
I recommend the brisket burrito
It is very beautiful inside, no 2d image can capture the optical lushness and scale of the real environment but here is a photograph that conveys at least partial representation of the colors and menu density (the entire restaurant looks like this)
