The Powerpoof Girls
This is a full-body, eye-level shot of three individuals in drag, posing in front of a colorful, striped wall that incorporates elements of the Progress Pride Flag. On the left, an individual with bright neon yellow hair and pale, almost white, face makeup with exaggerated features, wears a silver metallic leotard with neon green accents, fishnet stockings, and high heels. In the center, an individual with a bald head and a beard wears a fuchsia-colored, long-sleeved, full-body suit with high heels. On the right, an individual with long, dark, wavy hair and makeup wears a short, royal blue dress with fringe details, fishnet stockings, and high heels. The wall behind them features horizontal stripes in various colors, including black, brown, light blue, pink, white, red, orange, yellow, green, dark blue, and purple. There's also a large purple ring on the far left of the wall.

#Hypermobility Spectrum Disorder means doing a thorough stretching #workout before I spend four hours sitting still on #dialysis

If I don't I end up in immense #muscle and #joint #pain #eds

What does being flexible mean for you? Did you know being very flexible can link a range of health issues, such as fatigue or gastro symptoms?

Flexible joints? The bigger picture... It may help you join the dots at www.hypermobility.org/events
This image is part of a series for Hypermobility Awareness Week, marked as 1/4. On the left, a stick figure smiles while gesturing and has a speech bubble that says, "Have you often been called clumsy for falling over easily?" To the right, two other stick figures illustrate falls—one mid-fall with a surprised expression and another already on the ground. The background is white, complemented by a purple vertical stripe on the left and colorful leaf-like shapes on the right. The text "HYPERMOBILITY.ORG" is positioned at the bottom, reinforcing its purpose. This image is part of the Hypermobility Awareness Week series, specifically slide 2/4. On the left, a stick figure has a speech bubble that says, "...walking into door frames, dropping things..." Below this, three smaller illustrations depict common struggles: one stick figure walking into a door frame, another bumping into it, and a third lying on the ground after presumably falling. The image keeps the series' consistent style with a purple vertical stripe on the left and colorful leaf-like shapes on the right. The text "HYPERMOBILITY.ORG" is positioned at the bottom. This image is the third slide in the Hypermobility Awareness Week series, marked as 3/4. On the left, a smiling stick figure has a speech bubble that reads, "and have (or had) a reputation for being flexible or double-jointed?" On the right, two other stick figures illustrate flexibility—one in a backbend and another in a squatting position with one arm raised. The background maintains the series' style with a purple vertical stripe on the left and decorative, colorful leaf-like shapes on the right. At the bottom, the text "HYPERMOBILITY.ORG" reinforces the awareness campaign. This image is the final slide in the Hypermobility Awareness Week series, marked as 4/4. On the left, a smiling stick figure holds a speech bubble that says, "Understanding hypermobility might be your missing link!" Below this, a paragraph explains that hypermobility is often associated with clumsiness due to poor joint awareness—meaning the body isn't always where the brain thinks it is. This can lead to injuries and difficulty controlling movements, making individuals more accident-prone. The design maintains consistency with the series, featuring a purple vertical stripe on the left and colorful leaf-like shapes on the right. At the bottom, the text "hypermobility.org/what-is-hypermobility" offers a call to action for further learning, alongside the Hypermobility.Org logo, which has a colorful tree-like design.

"Concerned about the discriminatory message it sent to LGBTQ+ staff and patrons, Andrus respectfully vocally objected to the decision and engaged in “protected activity” — wearing a crocheted rainbow lanyard that she’d made the previous year, the suit said."

SC librarians wore rainbow lanyards when a Pride display was canceled. Then they were fired.
A former Oconee County librarian sued the county claiming she was fired in retaliation for supporting LGBTQ+ rights after a Pride display was canceled.

Nice to see a caller point out the difference between #Iranian and #Persian on yesterday's @mrjamesob.bsky.social show. A bbc journalist once corrected me when I said my father was Persian We're everywhere - you can smell our perfume before you see us. #zoroastrianism #flashypersians

This week’s main story is about the juvenile justice system in the U.S., the facilities we are funneling so many children through, some other steps we can take to try to keep children safe, and of course some of our favorite Kidz Bop lyrics. Hey – HEY – some of those songs are good.

Whoever pulled the trigger on the decision around Amber WHCD knew to do it on a damn Saturday morning fully knowing we tape on Friday nights and wouldn't be able to talk about this week. New @HignfyUS up now on @StreamOnMax w/ Guest Sam Seder & Sam Jay.

On Monday our instagram account was hacked and then deleted. We received a ransom note to recover it; obviously we couldn't and wouldn't pay, and therefore lost thousands of followers. Meta support was useless. But we're BACK with a new account: @littletollerbooks. Can you follow us there and share?

TELLY GOLD: Some classic Saint & Greavsie from this weekend in 1989.

The chaps reflect on last week’s rugby wager. And as Jim tells a saucy gag about the Boat Race, poor old Saint struggles to hold in the giggles.

Good times.
