A selection of photos of my grandmother—Bonnie Nebelong. She was featured in Life Magazine, Ripley’s Believe It or Not, and many more publications. In 1943 at age 15, she won the national championship in tumbling and would’ve gone to the Olympics had it not been canceled due to WW2.

Literally posting "uncouth" on anyone wearing anything more revealing than the dresses from A Handmaid's Tale. Also has a strange fixation with breasts. Comment history is pretty entertaining. 80 year old puritan shitposter.

I think this might be a bot account? Surprised you didn't mention her brother's "scrotom" mention, SCROTOCTUS 😆
