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
2/22: philosophical figures
I've been trying to put something in the mail for Chris everyday, whether it's a postcard or a photo, a notecard or a quotation I've found. Sometimes it's a little crafty something that I've made. And in that vein I've been sending him each week a "philosophical figure." I have an old philosophy book, and I've been cutting the pages into thin strips. Then I arrange some cut-up strips into abstract shapes on colored cardstock; I also create a frame with more strips of text. Not profound, and probably not even philosophical, but fun and (I hope) interesting to look at. I just took a break from grading and emailing to make one.
got too busy yesterday to stop by, love that a new found flexibility allows for absences
