If we allow the novel to work on its own terms, and quit asking it to meet our expectations of a common coming-of-age story, we can find that the style itself reveals the experience we seek.

haven't been too well recently. i made some sketches last night and just now kinda stream of consciousness amateur graphic design'd it and embraced the serendipity. (I have a degree in this! lol) this feels a little nice to have made. you happen to like this, then that is a strange plus

This was a spur of the moment drawing I did on receipt paper for a medication, drawing an important friend as I we met and spoke at a housewarming party this May. That week ended up becoming one of the most important weeks in my life so far, one of constant tumult, but a tumult you can help but laugh at a few hours later.

So naturally i'm making that experience into a comic, keeping that same energy by calling it "Post Grad Clarity". iykyk.

Stay tuned for updates on it, i'm thinking i'll post the whole thing on GlobalComix when i'm done :)

Growing Older, A Short Story in X Paragraphs

Back when we studied poetry in school, I remember reading a poem that had a great impact on me. I now can't remember the author's name, or the poem's title, or any of the lines from the poem. But I do remember that it was about a Shropshire lad.

(You're such a lovely audience here on the Fediverse. Is there anyone here from Shropshire tonight?)

Many years later, I encountered a very amusing cartoon by an artist whose name I can no longer remember. Its caption was, "That OTHER Shropshire lad." I can't remember what happened in the cartoon, but it was not one of those laught-out-loud cartoons. It was one of those sideward wink cartoons that implied, "We're all sophisticates here who appreciate an ironic cartoon, and we're all in on this joke about multiple Shropshire lads -- or at least more than one Shropshire lad."

Quite a few years later, in one of the last jobs for which I was getting paid, I worked with a very nice co-worker whose family name was actually Shropshire.

He was an extremely friendly, interesting, talented, and pleasant chap with an offbeat sense of humor.

(He was the first and last person I'd ever met named Shropshire. Quite literally a Shropshire lad. In fact it suddenly occurs to me -- as I'm telling you this -- that he was ANOTHER other Shropshire lad.)

He was very tall, as I remember, and could dominate the conversation in any group by dint of his size.

I guess this just goes to show that life can be very strange. You read a poem about a Shropshire lad, later you see a cartoon about another Shropshire lad, and even later than that you become acquainted with a real-life Shropshire lad. (Even though he wasn't from Shropshire.)

I suppose that those of you who are from Shropshire won't find this chain of events about lads from Shropshire so strange -- there always being multiple lads who are from there at any given time. Yet here we are now on the Fediverse, and I think it would be cheating to look up the original poem to give you the author's name and cite some lines, and unfair to research the cartoon and attach it here for you.

It felt truer to me to just to tell you the story as it came to me. And that's what I did.

👩‍💻 Ah, yes, the age-old tale of #GUIs being built multiple times because once is never enough for the discerning software developer. Patricia Aas attempts to explain why Lean Software Development is all wrong, but let's be honest, her stream-of-consciousness style makes James Joyce look like Hemingway. 🧐💻

Weed & Thoughts - Tom Segura on Andrew Huberman

#streamofconsciousness #comedy #thc #mind

today i'm going with my friend who I taught tennis last year (which means the last time I played was then).

Despite me being in good shape to play this game, I always find it challenging to return to the sport after a short break.

Prior to 2022, I always play year-round just to keep my skills current. I can outrun guys younger than me because I keep myself in good shape with fitness outside of tennis and drills on the tennis court.

Then, life got busier so since 2023, I skipped a year of tennis (prioritizing training in the gym with weights, outside with walks and jogs, and doing yoga or dance in the studio).

2024, I was thrown into an emotional year from family/friends unexpectedly passing away and i lost some motivation to consistently workout. I have maintained my fitness thru yoga and meditation, learning more about pranayama (breathing) and grounding exercises.

I played maybe 2-3x in 2024 so this year, I would love to play more tennis.

Hejinian's prose poems are mostly mundane memory peppered with stream-of-consciousness criticisms, wishing that somewhere a meaning will open. Usually not: "The obvious analogy is to music."

@urlyman I think you must be the only person on here whose #streamOfConsciousness I can consistently give little yellow stars.

HANK & Q
I've been thinking about the parallel lives of #HenryMancini and #QuincyJones in the last few days for no apparent reason other than Q's recent death. I love the music of both of them dearly, and I'm pretty sure I know more about their careers than you do (😁).

Parts of their journeys share some similarities, others are strikingly different. But throughout my life, Q has always struck me as a man of the present, and Hank very much as a man of the past. 1/

#scrappy #StreamOfConsciousness

We spoke of the culture’s Cluster B Personality Disorder-grade manner of inherently conditioned compliance towards any and all authority marshaled to maintain order, normality, a status quo; the willfully ignorant repression of and towards those enforcing said suppression; and the perilously nostalgic longing for any rule sans rhyme or reason, allowing for alarmed antagonists to herald as heroic their play as victim in flaunting as threat their own cagey summoning of the powers that be, pluming as boldness by association their flying of the Blue Lives Matter flag, versus the truth in one's so flailing it signifying a subordinate’s toadying timidity.

The more I followed them, the lines Francis shared fell not too far of the feedback loop that was my mother’s seeking an all-powerful interventionist answer of latter-day gay conversion therapy for me, out of concern that my ‘being too sensitive’ and frequently crying at school was a red flag of latent homosexuality—only to appropriate said red flag to serve as cover for the abuse she willfully ignored me to be experiencing at the hands of the very friend from whom she’d sought counseling over my allegedly queer inclinations in the first place. My mother, factoring I might one day charge her along with the priest, discredited me from a young age for any complaint I made against teachers, bosses, or anyone else in authority. It would always be my fault. And so I sought for myself a tyranny beyond that of my mother and her priest, my bullies and their culture, which brought us now to my confessions and my penance for them here.

" Though Virginia Woolf is often credited as the first woman writer to use a “stream of consciousness” method in her work, Richardson employed the technique some twenty years before did Woolf."

The prompt is Questions
Tricky, “Christiansands” from Pre-Millennium Tension, 1996

Lyric:
“Is it getting better?
Wrote her a letter
Asking questions
Baby steps in sections”

I’ve referred to some albums as trips; here’s one that’s a drug…and this track this track this track, hypnotic narcotic, with its mumble-growled #StreamOfConsciousness vocals, repetitive melodic line that somehow feels strange at every turn, so dense but lightened with airy vocals by frequent Tricky muse #MartinaTopleyBird.

#Tricky came up in #Bristol as a member of the Wild Bunch collective that evolved into #MassiveAttack as the #TripHop scene emerged, but his cutting edge could not be contained; he went out on his own making solo projects marked by his knack for making #downtempo feel foreboding, even aggressive. Pre-Millennium Tension, his second solo album, is still my favorite.
