  • If it’s what the US calls Public School, that’s all very true and it’s why children get bused all over Los Angeles, with various strategies to combat the history of redlining.

    For instance there are Magnet Schools in affluent neighborhoods where the wealthiest of the local kids go to private schools, drawing kids with specific interests and/or skills from less affluent neighborhoods to help keep the school open for the local public-school kids.

    In my experience the racial groups tended to socialize separately anyway, but I’m old, hopefully that’s less true. And even so, at least you don’t have kids growing up who’ve never met a different-color person.







  • Oh I am so sorry for both of you. It must’ve been terrible to find her so terribly injured, and to make the desperate run to the vet, and then she couldn’t be saved. At least they could make her passing less painful. Some cats are just so determined to do dangerous things, especially chewing/eating things they shouldn’t, that there’s no stopping them. Sounds like she had a fierce independent spirit in her little body. Now it’s gone, but you’ll see flashes of it out in the world, and feel its warmth deep in your heart. Take your time to recover. But also know that if another cat comes into the empty place in your life, her claim on you will be undiminished.
