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
9/5: a nook
There's a little area nestled into the winding staircase in my office building, and over the years I've thought that it would be a sweet place to read. Today as I was heading upstairs after my last class a young woman was there! I stopped to tell her it was the first time in 17 years I had seen anyone do that, even though I've thought about it a lot. She was clearly happy with the nook, and I was happy at her happiness.
