here is a mixtape erykah badu made

for the bees.

+++BEATS BEES LIKE FOR B-BOYS AND B-GIRLS+++ by Erykah She Ill Badu on Mixcloud

As another feather in her cap for this prolific streak she’s been having of late, she went on Zane Lowe’s Beats show right before U Cain’t Use My Phone and dropped a mix of jams she loves, staying wavy and dedicating it to the bees (actual bees) because, she wrote, “Save the bees, else we ain’t gone have no where to fight and discriminate… cause they aint have’n that shit on MARS.” (via)

the BQE trees will be in queens this year

Suspended Forest 2016 Installation at Knockdown Center from Michael Neff on Vimeo.

Suspended Forest has been shown twice previously shown in an unauthorized, unused space under the BQE along Metropolitan Avenue in Williamsburg. Those installations were removed by the city within days. The exhibition at Knockdown Center, on view for a month and configured in a grid, allows for a much different experience, most importantly time for the trees to shed their needles into halos on the smooth concrete floor below. Paired with the subtle pine fragrance of the trees and the opportunity for quiet contemplation, the exhibition encourages repeated viewing.

holy moly watch out

Two people have been injured in Turkey after huge chunks of snow fell off a roof and hit passers-by.
The snow had piled up on the roof of a mosque in the city of Rize.
The incident was captured on CCTV, and shows pedestrians trying to free those who were buried by the snow.
Two women were taken to hospital for treatment.
