I'm so enjoying reading this, but it's very hard to see what Lorinda is having to go through. Infuriating, honestly. She's very smart and seems to be a bit of a badass, so I'm hopeful for her, though. 🤞

Will Lorinda and Emmie go Thelma and Louise on this year's Harlan: Brad? Will Lorinda vacation in Mexico, where the Court declared abortion legal, or will she have to hire a coyote to sneak her across the Rio Grande?

OT: Should Biden give his own poisoning the blood of America speech? It seems to be working for Trump.

I have a similar fear, but it encourages me that 400 people got off the plane. Of course, they were Japanese and considerate of each other. An American would have said, "Women and children first, right after me". People in Japan are uniformly polite. I believe that when you live in close quarters (subways, stores, restaurants, etc.) the route to survival is good manners.

I am absolutely terrified of fire and can only hope that the end came quickly for the crew aboard that Japanese Coast Guard craft. With ALL of my black little heart I hope that the smoke overwhelmed them before the flames engulfed that plane.

For the record I have learned that life is much more satisfying when you're flexible.

I live not quite a half an hour north of the Washington state/Idaho border.

That too many women in the state next door are already living in small burgs like Emmie's little community in a conservaturd 'Murica makes my blood run cold.

It's unfortunate that a lot of young women in communities like that will probably never read "The Split." They most likely think that, if their state should become what their Republican Christian Nationalist leaders want it to be, it won't be "that bad" or "that different." And after it happens, their only thoughts will be how to escape when they have no means to do so.

I don't know about you, but I'm enjoying this serial novella but at the same time it terrifies me.

I feel the same as you!

I am obsessed with this story at this point simply because I can witness it occurring in real time next door.

This is Green Day singing their iconic hit ‘American Idiot’ on New Year’s Eve and adding “I’m not part of the MAGA agenda” to their lyrics. Love it. 🤣🔥

I now must vote for Trump now that Bill Clinton '24 is no longer tenable.

Marjorie Taylor Greene ignores Trump ties to Epstein while slamming Clinton

Both former presidents have previously been revealed to be on flight logs for Epstein’s private jet

We are clearly failing to discern the bigger picture. Umm... there IS a bigger picture, right Leon?

You have to be a stable jenius to recognize it😉.

Actually, he’s doing exactly what his Saudi investors wanted him to do. Destroying a platform that people not in power were using to organize against power.

I suspect the Saudi's like Xhitter. Now that they have unfettered access the user database, it makes it much easier to locate the next winner of their bone saw Lotto.
