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

...about gerunds and their subjects in my office with a student. In an earlier session, I had told him that in formal English subjects of gerunds are put in the possessive form. In today's session, we were going over part of his paper in which I saw a gerund with a non-possessive subject, so I started to flag it. He immediately showed me his computer screen and said something like, "Look! I just changed that while waiting to talk with you!"
