There's a very cynical part of me that believes that the mind boggling refusal to turn away from the all charter solution that's being forced down our throats is in fact to keep the majority of the citizens here uneducated and poor. 'Course, as Tom says, don't attribute to malice what can be attributed to stupidity (and a centuries old culture of corruption.) But I swear, this all charter solution is far to vigorously supported for me to believe true racist malice isn't in the mix somewhere.
I also love this city, but I also know I have extraordinary privilege to do do, given the color of my skin, my employability, my income, and my education. I would love to hope that I am helping here in my tiny way through the work I do, but that seems...unlikely. (pretty sure the issues here will not be resolved through the collective well intentioned works of white folks from Other Places.)
Frank, so glad you got to the doctor's -take it easy, though, these kinds of deep infections can be serious business.
Basically, what le n and Nora said.
Frank, also glad you went to the doc and got the medicine you need.
There aren't words for this.
No but there is laughing out loud.
Frank, be well.

Don't downplay your contributions, Nora. Yeah, one well-intentioned person of whatever color doesn't solve the problem magically; it's adding all those well-intentioned people's efforts together that makes differences.
Ha, Jessica!
Amy,
ha! young adolescents who like vampires might be all over this! I love lunapads, but their patterns need some variety, though I wasn't thinking exactly of your example.
Amy, Dan is screaming "IT CANNOT BE A THING!!" over and over at the screen right now.
There aren't words for this.
What to give the Team Edward nut who has everything already, including the glitter?
There aren't words for this.
Now we know how Jason Blood earns the $ to maintain those huge apartments and occult libraries.
There aren't words for this.
No but there is laughing out loud.
Oh my god. For the first time in 6 years, I am sad that I don't get a period anymore. (Tim said, "Well, you could wear one...and just starve the vampire. Wouldn't that be fun?")
