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
7/30: 31
I told myself that I'd try to write to one person a day in July. There were other ground rules: writing repeatedly to the same person still only counted as once, and people from postcrossing or sendsomething didn't count toward the total unless I already had ongoing correspondences with them. The idea was to catch up on my endlessly-in-arrears mail and stay in some touch with people who are kind enough to want to be in touch with me. Some days I managed to write to more than one person and some days less, but as the month nears its end I've reached my goal and made contact with 31 different folks. There are still people I need/want to write to, but I think I have some momentum now, and I'm looking forward to carrying this trend into August.
