Consensus so far appears to be "no". Perhaps this is another thing to add to my Weird List, along with all my extra bones, slightly squiffy spine etc. Lovely
Potentially weird question for fellow hypermobile folks: can you move your trachea around? Because I can and it really freaks my mum out
Krista Shure, 44, who eyewitnesses claim has the flexibility of a newborn infant, told reporters she has “no idea” why people keep asking if she’s OK or if she needs a comfier seat – or medical assistance.

One of my exes took me to Fabric in London and after a couple of hours I put my slippers on and sat on the stairs 👍
Ima Onwugbenu, 22, who likes peace, quiet and solitude, has reportedly inexplicably convinced herself that on this occasion, she will enjoy cramming herself into a sticky box full of sweaty humans and thumping music, to which she will move her body in an approximation of human dancing.

UK government consultation alert. Details are in the linked website.
For those of you in the UK, especially if you are a UK citizen, can you please take part in the consultation on changes to Indefinite Leave to Remain (Settlement) that were just proposed by the UK government. We need as many people as possible to reject these proposals. www.gov.uk/government/c...
