I’m sorry??? Did this woman’s husband just abuse her while she’s in a plaster cast and dying of radium poisoning because she wouldn’t give him her settlement money???? Now I am screaming.

I did like when the book was switching between Orange and Ottawa and I feel like we kind of abandoned the Orange girls…

The radium companies are fucking villains. I can’t BELIEVE the shit they get away with. They agree to an autopsy with an impartial doctor and then do it an hour before he arrives and steal all this girls bones and send a report to the radium company and not her family and lie about everything. I am going to fucking scream.

Like 37 doctors and scientist watching the same systems in every girl exposed to radium: “idk I think radium is bad”
The CEO of the company that benefits from radium: “that literally makes no sense you fucking idiots”

Everytime I am told how beautiful one of these girls smile is, it feels like a portent of doom.
