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
4/25: mentioning
...volleyball to a student I had advised when they were a freshman (they're now a senior). I had remembered their talking about volleyball (and how they weren't going to play it in college) in our earliest conversations, and I wanted to show that I still remembered who they were. And then they said something like, "Well, you'll never guess...." The student had studied in France and while there played on a professional team, even in international competition! That was fun to hear about, and I never would have if I hadn't pulled out that little memory.
