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
8/11: being fine
...with a noisy cart in the grocery store. Over the past handful of years, I've been weirdly grateful for jangling or otherwise loud carts. The me of longer ago would get embarrassed by such carts; the more recent me thinks, "This cart's noise is not my fault; there is no shame attached. It's fine if the store's equipment makes noise in the store, and I need to focus on my shopping not on other people's possible reactions."
