Erica Makes It All

This sounds like setting yourself up for an incredibly frustrating day. But I’ll follow along if only to laugh.

So perfect for you

Our democracy is under attack — from Donald Trump, billionaires, and special interests. Katie Porter is the fighter California needs as our next Governor, and Team Katie is ready to help her win. 💪

The breast reduction subreddit is an incredible place for getting support, but men can’t help being men and there is a massive problem with creeps. The mods have to keep a running list of creeps and one of the pinned posts is focused specifically on dealing with them.

I’m four weeks out from a massive breast reduction/lift. I think my nipples could do this now. Four weeks ago the top would have been around belly button level.

I’m super duper white so I’ve been making sure to visit business in Santa Ana, Garden Grove, and Anaheim as frequently as possible. Happy to report as many ICE vehicles as I spot.

We went through maybe 4 weeks ago and saw tons of border patrol cars through Pendleton and San Clemente. Agents were staffing the checkpoint but just waving everyone through.

I’ve also heard that the checkpoint on the 5 has been staffed frequently as of late.

All I know right now is that I am so upset I’m recovering from surgery and can’t physically get out there to help with community organizing in OC. I’ve done it for 8 years, I can do it in my sleep, but I’m stuck here on the couch, totally useless, for another three to four weeks.

I think we are dropping magic keys this year, unfortunately. Maybe we’ll take a year off and hope to grab one in 2027 or 2028? Not sure yet. But right now we aren’t able to go enough to justify the enormous price hikes.

I ran so fast to give her a follow. Again, thank you thank you! Now I’m going to go look at all the rest of her work.

I looked everywhere and couldn’t find who made it! I only had this copy someone had emailed me about 15 years ago. I was googling every combination of “turkey vulture comic poop on legs” I could come up with. Thank you!

The Irvine Ranch Conservancy land is all around Irvine Lake!

8 panel comic. Each panel features a drawing of a turkey vulture and the text reads “I am a turkey vulture. Yes indeed. My head is bare to prevent rotting flesh from adhering to it. To keep cool, I poop on my legs and feet. My main defense is projectile vomiting. I am so awesome.”

When I used to lead hikes with the Irvine Ranch Conservancy I keep a printed copy of this in my pack. I also told people to think of them as couch potatoes in the sky - you are more likely to see them gliding on currents than flapping their wings.

Nurse Harper is making sure I rest and recover from surgery.

It holds up shockingly well. I stumbled across some episodes a few years ago and was surprised to see the focus on climate change. Plus I still love shouting “not the mama”

Desert. Those elephant seals are always there. The desert doesn’t always flood like this.

Exactly where my mind went, and funny enough that my current project seems to match yours.

It’s a classic

The speed with which I ran to bookmark your Etsy shop…

This is amazing. My husband has some crow friends and I so wish I had seen this before today.

It’s so so good

Neighborhood Fiber Co. Neighborhood Fiber Co. is a small yarn company in Baltimore, MD specializing in hand dyed yarns inspired by urban landscapes.

I’d suggest neighborhoodfiberco.com It’s all hand dyed and is owned by a black woman who is involved with supporting civil rights and fighting to help better her community.

It should block out! Especially since it’s a non-superwash. The yarn itself will bloom and fluff up, filling in the gaps between stitches and making everything look more even. It’s one of the reasons I love non-superwash yarns - helps hide my many mistakes.

Saul’s in Berkeley? I grew up eating there.

This is adorable and I love it. I need to check out the trees!

He answers questions the way my 9 year old does. You said I couldn’t have A cookie but you never said I couldn’t have two.

Michael is the BEST selfie taker around.

Review: HBO's "Thoughts and Prayers" The HBO original documentary examines the $3 billion active shooter preparedness industry in America and its effect on students and educators
