#OTD in 1961, AP names Wilma Rudolph Female Athlete of the Year for the 2nd consecutive year

Rudolph overcame childhood polio to become the fastest woman runner in the world; first American woman to win 3 track/field gold medals in a single Olympiad, Rome 1960.

#WomenInSport #champion #inspiration
Black-and-white photograph of Wilma Rudolph crossing the finish line to win the women’s 4×100 m relay gold for the United States at the 1960 Rome Olympics on September 8, 1960. The 20-year-old Tennessee State Tigerbelle leans forward in full stride, baton raised triumphantly, as she becomes the first American woman to win three track-and-field gold medals in a single Games. The packed Stadio Olimpico blurs behind her in this iconic moment of speed and history. Smiling portrait of Wilma Rudolph proudly holding up 2 of her 3 gold medals with the 3rd medal worn like a necklace. All 3 from the 1960 Rome Olympics—won in the 100 m, 200 m, and 4×100 m relay.

SERIOUSLY?
Alternative girl looking over her shoulder at the viewer with disgust. She is reading a zine. She wears a leather jacket with a broken chain patch on the sleeve, and the words WORMS on the back with a large earthworm patch. She has bleached hair with black roots and an eyebrow ring and a nose piercing. The text above her reads, “Ew, you don’t read zines??” The zine has the writing: “Why farts are the call of the worker” with a farting cartoon butt.

Of all the things he could be doing…he decides to ensure a bunch of dead soldiers get medals for killing Native Americans.

Please stop telling minorities this current administration and everyone in it isn’t a racist bigot. That ship sailed a long time ago.

Fun fact: I asked a ouija board if anyone was there. It moved to yes. I then proceeded to tell the spirit that I was a witch, only to have the planchette move to ‘goodbye.’ :c they hung up on me.

Trump's State Department is denying accurate passports to all #trans & #intersex folks. The State Dept is accepting public comments for people to submit their concerns about the new passport policy. You can submit comments anonymously on the federal register website (all three links in this thread).

my hot take for the #legionofsuperheroes of the day is that there are 2 types of ppl who call reboot legion the ‘Archie’ legion
1. Ppl who never read the reboot legion and/or Archie
2. Ppl who read James Cullen on-panel murder and decided it wasn’t that serious for some reason?

#MonEl fighting alone and winning was so inspirational to me back in the day. He always seemed like a hero trapped in #Superboy's shadow, but this tale changed that in my mind. #LegionOfSuperHeroes

#SaturnGirl defeats #Universo in the #LegionOfSuperHeroes epic, The Universo Project in the Baxter Edition of the LoSH. She knocked that monocle right off his face!!! What makes this scene more amazing is that she dropped #UltraBoy and #MonEl just moments before with a thought!

I really liked the ‘Dream Crime’ arc and Chris Batista coming on board with art duties (after Olivier Coipel had sadly left a number of issues earlier) … Chris brought a new dynamic to the title, his Legionnaires looked great !!!

I bought what is supposed to be a super-black (98%+ absorption) and I think a little known #LegionOfSuperheroes character is a suitable subject for the experiment. Stay tuned.
