Lorinda needs to get her fucking head in the game. She really needs to wake up and realize that people being "mean" to her are the least of her fucking problems. Grow up and see the world around you as it is, girl!

Great chapter. I'm still waiting for the infodump chapter where one of her conductors on the underground railroad spends an evening explaining to her how the world actually works now.

Also, "Ren and Stimpy"! Love it!

She really hasn't grokked yet how deep in the shit she is here, has she? She has been flagged by the CCSA that she's pursuing an illegal operation, she's wanted for assault on a Confederate officer, and she seems to be acting like she's having a hard time finding a dentist. Sorry, Lorinda, but no matter how this shakes out, your life as it's been up till now is *over*. It's either over with you in a camp, forced to give birth and then jailed for a long time, or over with you living in the USA under a new identity. You gotta pay your money and take your chances.

Jaysus but this is getting intense.

What really frightens me is how easily I CAN see something like "The Split" actually happening here if shit goes seriously sideways...as it damned near did December 6, 2021.

Imagine being in the US military trapped on base inside CCSA. That is until the base is closed and the troops/equipment is moved out.

Every Monday I see The Split post come up and think "I have to go back and catch up on that".

Maybe today I'll get a round tuit?

Please, don't tell me that when the Trump Regime is reinstalled we'll be driving Zhigulis...

Not if you're in the good part of the country (meaning the ACTUAL United States, not that hellscape Lorinda lives in).

I'm actually starting to feel Lorinda's anxiety and confusion.

Mine, too! Monday rolls around and I'm like, "Ugh, Monday..." and then the latest chapter drops!
