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
8/11: emily dickinson then email
I knew I needed to do some work-related email today, but it's still summer, so I let myself spend a chunk of the morning on an Emily Dickinson project and left the email for the afternoon. When I finally got to it, it wasn't as formidable as I made it in my mind. You'd think I'd learn that that's usually the case (but at least this way I experience the happiness each time when the reality is easier than what I imagined?). Then I got some nice email feedback from colleagues--hurray for internal and external positive reinforcement.
