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
6/21: an alternative celebration
...for the solstice today. I had thought I'd kayak at sunset as a way of celebrating the sun, but my wrists hurt a lot, so I didn't want to risk more strain. Instead, I sent out a lot of mail that was somehow sun-related, and that felt good and appropriate. I also made summery cocktails for Chris and myself at dinner time: orange gin, elderflower tonic, and mint. Oh! And one more thing: I filmed the flickering shadow of a tree branch moving in the light and wind, and then I texted it to some dear people with a solstice greeting.
