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
8/5: pleasing routine
Since mid-July my days haven't followed their usual course, and it was very good to have a change. Today, though, some habits returned, like old friends: in the morning I doodled and wrote postcards, in the afternoon I ordered some books and translated some Latin, and in the evening Chris and I went walking at the track. There were other, less routine-bound elements of my day, as well, but these little things helped to tether me, and I am grateful for that.
