What horrifies me about this administration is how the orange monster doesn't care about laws but does whatever he wants. Destroys and then acts like he'll fix.

Books and a good iced mocha cold brew always chase away the mean reds.
Ooh, loving these. Perfect as my second YA fantasy re-release deals with the Greek gods messing with Jordan and her bestie Selena. @yabookscentral.bsky.social
Almost done. Love Jillian Cantor's books and this YA dystopia is really good.
Poor girls at local Dunkin told me their ice machine down. I tried to help. I remember when I worked in service.
Then they wonder why SA victims don't come forth or leave.
Seriously not surprised cowardly GOP voting to confirm Blanche. Cowards all of them

Oh no. Jackie's PCV dropped to 13% meaning her anemia has worsened.
Also we see what happens when survivors come forward with Epstein file. Not believed. No conseqences for predators.
So think first before commenting on why didn't they just leave.
So easy to blame the mother for staying. No support for victims. Domestic violence up. When my younger sis Colette did leave her abusive ex? Less than 24 hrs after he was served a restraining order? He ambushed and murdered her.
I'm so over the comments that state, "Why didn't she just leave?" whenever someone says they were abused. Speaking as a survivor of SA. Just read comments and it infuriated me. As a child/teen I did ask for help but told I was the problem. Church gave no help. Mom feared for our lives
