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
5/24: felt good & real
In my summer school course today we discussed an article by John McWhorter. We've been reading an essay by McWhorter a day for the past week, and he's a provocative writer, so it's not hard to talk about his ideas. But today the conversation was especially good and careful and interesting. If I can be so bold: I even think we did a better job than McWhorter in some ways in exploring some of his points!
Hey Rebecca,
ReplyDeleteI got two post cards from postcrossing today, one of them yours. That is the good thing that happened to me today. I also had a great day at work and generally felt awesome :)
Thank you for the card.
My good thing was that Youngest Daughter and I returned home safely after a wonderful (but chilly) 2 nights camping in a redwood forest.
ReplyDeleteHi, vijay--I'm glad you came by, and thanks for sharing good things from your day.
ReplyDeleteAnd a camping trip among the redwoods sounds amazing, Barbara!
