Monday

22 - he/him - shitposter, philocalist, computer engineering student, huge nerd, occasional freak, yearner, etc. "the most normal to ever do it"

Howdy!

I'm Monday, the best day of the week! :)

I'm 22 years old - he/him - cishet (much to the chagrin of some of my friends lmao)

I'm a computer engineering student, I try my best to find joy in the small things, and I love sharing joy and learning with others!

I love all things weird and respect the hell out of people who aren't afraid to be themselves!

This blog is mostly for shitposting and saying definitely normal things about my wonderful partner @raptorredd :3 (seriously I'm obsessed with her she's fucking incredible)

Minors DNI please! This isn't strictly an 18+ blog but I am an adult and I'm not afraid to post about it! thank you! :)

If you're weird about music the same way I am, feel free to look at my last.fm! I will talk ears off if asked about anything on there!

I'm almost always open to good-faith discussions about most topics. I was put on this earth to learn! Please teach me! I love fun facts and the like! Even unfun facts!

at the end of the day, I'm just some guy and this is my place to spew my thoughts into the void of the information superhighway.

stay curious my friends!

-Monday

“I want you to do this with me for one month. One month. Write 10 observations a week and by the end of four weeks, you will have an answer. Because when someone writes about the rustic gutter and the water pouring through it onto the muddy grass, the real pours into the room. And it’s thrilling. We’re all enlivened by it. We don’t have to find more than the rustic gutter and the muddy grass and the pouring cold water.”

Marie Howe:

I ask my students every week to write 10 observations of the actual world. It’s very hard for them.

Ms. Tippett:

Really?

Ms. Howe:

They really find it hard.

Ms. Tippett:

What do you mean? What is the assignment? 10 observations of their actual world?

Ms. Howe:

Just tell me what you saw this morning like in two lines. I saw a water glass on a brown tablecloth, and the light came through it in three places. No metaphor. And to resist metaphor is very difficult because you have to actually endure the thing itself, which hurts us for some reason.

Ms. Tippett:

It does.

Ms. Howe:

It hurts us.

Ms. Tippett:

You naming something.

Ms. Howe:

We want to say, “It was like this; it was like that.” We want to look away. And to be with a glass of water or to be with anything — and then they say, “Well, there’s nothing important enough.” And that’s whole thing. It’s the point.

Ms. Howe:

It’s the this, right?

Ms. Howe:

Right, the this, whatever. And then they say, “Oh, I saw a lot of people who really want” — and, “No, no, no. No abstractions, no interpretations.” But then this amazing thing happens, Krista. The fourth week or so, they come in and clinkety, clank, clank, clank, onto the table pours all this stuff. And it so thrilling. I mean, it is thrilling. Everybody can feel it. Everyone is just like, “Wow.” The slice of apple, and then that gleam of the knife, and the sound of the trashcan closing, and the maple tree outside, and the blue jay. I mean, it almost comes clanking into the room. And it’s just amazing.

Ms. Tippett:

In some basic level, what they’ve done is just engage with their senses.

Ms. Howe:

Yeah, and have been present out of their minds and just noticing what’s around them, which is — we don’t do. And again, not to compare it to anything. They’re not allowed. And that’s very hard for them. And then on the fifth or sixth week, I say, “OK, use metaphors.” And they don’t want to. They don’t know how. They’re like, “Why would I? Why would I compare that to anything when it’s itself?” Exactly. Good question.

So then you think, why the necessity of a metaphor? Why do you have to use a metaphor now? Not just to do it to avoid it, but to do it to make it more there. And it’s very interesting.

taking a summer class on-campus

It's really strange to see this place that usually has a suffocating amount of people be nearly empty...

standing around while its slow at work staring out the window daydreaming about my partner #myPartner
