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
8/30: post-it notes
Picturebooks are part of my academic life this semester--yay! I've already written here a few times about the myth and picturebooks seminar, and in an independent study (on the representation of poverty in children's literature) a student and I will be looking at picturebooks for a few weeks before we move onto other kinds of texts. Working with picturebooks makes me grateful for post-it notes: though I don't have a problem writing notes in other kinds of books, I really don't want to write in/on picturebooks, so as I read/look/analyze I add a post-it to each page where I record my thoughts and reactions. It was a pleasure this morning to sit on the porch with my picturebook and post-its (and coffee).
