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
2/9: dictionary time
For one of my assignments this week I decided to do an etymological analysis--it wasn't exactly what was asked for, but it addresses the week's topics from a different angle. I think I needed a change from the kinds of assignments I've been writing weekly since mid-June, and I enjoyed getting to apply some of what I do when I teach my etymology course in a new context and as a student. It's always nice to have an excuse to poke around in the dictionary.
