I saw the No Kings crowd in Wheaton and was shocked. For the unaware, Wheaton is very much Trump country so it was wild to see a big crowd outside the Mariano’s I drive by when I go to my stepkids’ school.

I was talking to my 81yo Puerto Rican neighbor lady yesterday and noticed she had a whistle tied around her porch banister. Bless her heart.

Erika M. @rinkrebel.bsky.social · 2d

Well that’s a bummer, but good for him, I hope he gets some playing time

Believe me, they’re pieces of shit, every one of them, but it’s insulting to fat people to be equated with said pieces of shit because we too are fat.

Erika M. @rinkrebel.bsky.social · 4d

Seen a whole lot of fatphobic comments about this skeet. Could I ask you to maybe think of an insult other than “lol look at these fatties”?

Once again I’m not really certain the Bears deserved to win that game but they did and I’m glad for that

Erika M. @rinkrebel.bsky.social · 5d

We made it home before the Bears game! Had a lot of fun in Orlando, even though it was for a short time. It was nice to get away.
