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
7/10: buying
...the right color of thread to bind pamphlets made from an awkward shade of off-white/ivory/cream. I usually use thin crochet thread for binding, but the stores here don't have a shade that works, so I've been trying different embroidery flosses. I finally found one that blends with the paper in an okay way, and I realized that if I use 4 strands of the floss rather than all 6, the cleaner, less bulky line made by the thread fits better with the small size of my pamphlets. I happily used it to bind a batch of new pamphlets, and I even re-bound an older pamphlet for which I had used a less-good color match and 6 strands. It looks so much better now.
