The field of micrology, for me, is creation, but it is daily creation, new habits every day, new habits that are born, right, language habits, the habit of playing, the habit of walking in the street.

Bon dia, amb el Quim Monzó, la seua màquina d'escriure a finals dels anys setanta i el fet que li va canviar la lletra «ñ» per una ela amb el punt volat (i poder fer-hi, així, la geminació corresponent).

The last stage of grading is the most important. After marking the final and adding up all the points, you override all of that by thinking about how smart each student is.

«Bonnetta describes “The Pines” as a ‘spectral collage’. Its four hours are not edited highlights but layered constructions, like a poetic version of a scientific chart» 🍃
‘Chipmunks were obsessed with my mics’: the man who recorded a tree for a year
Joshua Bonnetta spent 8,760 hours recording a pine – then honed it down into a four-hour album full of creatures, cracking branches and quite possibly the sound of leaves growing

![Art has certain limitations, which often arise from certain modes of production & distribution. Interesting art, therefore, is bornt out of blending conditions. Sakamoto started his career alongside MIDI; later he believed in ressonance as something to be developed, not vanished.
[...]
Japanese woodblock printers had the same philosophy: a picture is made from unique & simple layers, one after another. Sakamoto's style is not only a musical representation of that process but a kind of new mythology based in nature & technology.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:2dnlox54jyzyswnfcsgvfzr4/bafkreigpou3nf2dwyjsyimjhotbdqcymoegvkkmrvq7g7jv6jbpz65we7e@jpeg)

![Hui, mentre eixia d'una classe, unes estudiants de l'institut m'han dit: «Tu jugaves a pilota?». I enguany ja en van dues, de vegades que m'han fet eixa pregunta, vull dir.
Supose que algun xiquet que aniria pel trinquet ja ha començat a afaitar-se, m'ha reconegut i ha escampat la veu. Supose, també, que els farà gràcia que un professor de llengua i literatura —el màxim exponent del tedi— tinga la traça suficient per «pegar hòsties».
«Era como si tuviese un hermano siamés, y a uno le gustase el deporte y al otro el arte [...] Sin embargo, tras esto me topé con algo que odio. En el mundo del deporte parece que solo puedes ser el típico ceporro sin demasiadas inquietudes intelectuales, lleno de certezas y estrecho de miras. Y del otro lado, la imagen que se tiene de los artistas es de personas débiles y ñoñas, con muchos problemas imaginados en la cabeza. Así que no conseguía completarme en ninguno de los dos mundos»

It has become even clearer than before that some people in this world really ought to be set to do some manual labour, either so that they understand reality better, or so that they at least are kept away from power in the meantime.

It is unreasonable to expect that every student will be transformed over the course of an academic year. Sometimes the best you can do is give them the tools to be better in the future, long after the class is over.
