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
10/2: good things amidst
...busy-ness, bureaucracy, and a broken HVAC in my office building. It was 85 degrees inside my office and classroom (not good)! Hard for me to feel professional when drenched with sweat, and hard for the students to focus and learn when they're in such a hot and stuffy space. But on the happier end of things: I had good office-hour meetings with some students (even meeting one student's parent); the class translation of Vergil's description of Fama went well; my cold seems to be waning (knock on wood); and at home tonight I had time to write notes to three friends after finishing tomorrow's prep.
