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
2/1: big chairs in a little pocket of time
Last year when my sister visited, we spent part of a late afternoon talking while sitting in two very large and comfortable chairs, the cats in our laps. When she was here this past Saturday and Sunday, we didn't clock any big-chair time; we were doing other things. But then this morning we had a little bit of time before we needed to get ready and leave the house (me for work, she for the airport), and we found ourselves in the big chairs. It somehow made her visit seem complete, and our cat Emma crawled right up into her lap, just like last year.
