Thank you to our beloved Gustavo Arellano, for honoring the passing of Dolores Madrigal in the LA Times. Dolores was the lead plaintiff in the class action lawsuit against County-USC where more than 200 Mexican American women were forcibly sterilized in the 1960s and 70s:

I'm Scottie and I'm smart but lazy. (Said to me by a high school teacher who never actually taught me how to write an essay but valued my participation in class. Little did he know I had spent weeks working on that paper! Taught me how important self-reflection is for teachers.)

🎉🎉🎉

Did you know that if you put a 🗃️ in your post it automatically pulls your post into the What’s History feed? #skystorians

Ha! Love that in the list of possible feeds, pics of cats is WAY higher than dogs! (Don’t worry, I don’t actually dislike dogs, just absolutely love cats)

Thems the rules! #proofofcat
