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
8/14: in actuality
My good thing for 8/13 was the idea of a boat as a heterotopia, but my body was too creaky for me to enjoy my boat in actuality. Today I was able to take a spin in my kayak at sunset. And it's good that I was feeling better: the weather site said that winds would be about 3 or 4 mph (basically meaning gentle movement on/of the water), but in truth they were more like 8 mph (which means concerted paddling). I like the determined paddling sometimes because it feels like I am powering my little boat, and I was grateful that my body was able to do that.
