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
2/2: wicawa
Chris told me today that in the language of the Winnebago the word for a wild cat is pronounced in the same way as the word for squash. Are they in fact the same word, identifying some deep underlying similarity between panthers and pumpkins--or are they homophones, sounding identical but only accidentally? No one knows. I think I'm in such a state of mind tonight that the uncertainty of this question seems to me to encapsulate the human condition (but in a good way).
