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
5/9: willa cather's room
We went to Red Cloud today, which is where Willa Cather spent a good part of her childhood. Taking a tour of the Cather's home, we saw Willa Cather's tiny room tucked into a corner of the attic. It was covered with old, peeling, faded, fragile, and sweet wall-paper. Our guide told me that Cather had worked at the drugstore to save up the money for the wall-paper and then hung it herself.
another great therapy session, and a truly gifted therapist
