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
10/5: realizing
...how I could articulate a feeling I've been having about how some students are engaging (or not) in classes these days: it's like they tune out as if they're still on Zoom or Teams and can just turn their cameras and microphones off. Although this phenomenon isn't a good thing, being able to put it in words like that was helpful. And it makes sense, given that interacting online via Zoom and Teams had become a new habit over the past year and a half. Now that we're back in in-person classrooms, it's time to change habits, and that can be hard.
