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
3/24: writing and thinking
I worked on a conference paper this afternoon. Speakers are limited to 15 minutes, so there isn't much time to set out a complicated idea. And I had already written an abstract with the skeleton of my argument, so I had thought that the paper-writing would be mostly a matter of fleshing out that skeleton. On the one hand, that's good because it's pretty straightforward; on the other hand, it's less fun because it's great to work out a new idea while writing. Though my paper's structure is still largely following the abstract, I managed to come up with some new connections while working today, and that was welcome.
