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
7/17: another response written
Today I wrote to another student whose lovely note from years ago I never answered. I can have quite a phobia about correspondence that's not at all connected to any negative feelings about the other person involved, and in the cases today and yesterday it's felt good to bracket that phobia just long enough to acknowledge other people's thoughtfulness and care by thanking them and wishing them well.
