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
1/4: buying
...chocolate covered cherries as an impulse purchase while looking at the selection of 50% off Christmas candy at the grocery store. When I was little, my siblings and I each had a particular candy that we would get each year as part of our Christmas gifts: my sister's was a Whitman's Sampler, my brother's was chocolate cars, and mine was chocolate covered cherries. We didn't choose these initially; my parents chose for us, and then they just stuck. (I have to admit that I sometimes wished I had been the one who had been "assigned" the Whitman's Sampler! Though that was a little silly, given that we all shared all of the candies.) Today it seemed disloyal to see the chocolate covered cherries on the shelf and not put a box in my cart.
