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
4/5: a little rescue
I ducked into the women's restroom before my Myth class so I could brush my hair. A student was standing at the sinks and talking to someone on her phone. Then she started to talk to me, asking me if I thought a bug on her backpack was dangerous. It turned out that she had called her friend because the bug was freaking her out and she didn't know what to do. I said I'd help. I scooped the bug onto a piece of paper and we let it go outside. Even though the bug made her nervous, she admired how it glittered gold in the light.
