Life in late capitalism can be vexing, alienating, fragmenting, and otherwise frustrating. There are many wonderful things in my life, but I'm more likely to talk about what's bad rather than what's good. I'm going to try to post one good thing here each day, and if you would join in by adding a good thing from your day in the comments, I'd love it--I'd absolutely love it. --RR
10/31: voting
My county had early voting at the public library, so a colleague and I went after our afternoon office hours were over. It somehow feels right to vote in a public library, it's such a welcoming civic space. And today was a great day to wait in line because there was such much to look at: since it's Halloween, librarians-in-costume were giving out candy to children-in-costume, and at different tables there were craft activities and reading groups. There were a good number of other early voters; we had to wait an hour. But, all in all, a festive atmosphere for exercising a right and a privilege.
I got new glasses, and I feel as if I got a whole new me! (And that's a good thing!)
