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
11/22: an abstract in an hour
Sometimes it takes me an embarrassingly long time to write a page of prose. I knew that I needed to write an abstract/proposal for a paper today, but I didn't know how much time it would take me to do it. And there are so many other tasks on my to-do list that the idea of an indefinitely long writing session was making me panic. But I pushed down the panic and sat myself at the computer. An hour later, the abstract was done. And now it's on its way to the conference organizers: it's off my plate, so I'm on to other tasks!
