Frameline 49: 7 must-see movies capturing the LGBTQ+ experience
Frameline turns 49 this year, unreeling a prismatic array of films that capture a wide variety of LGBTQ+ experience. Drama, comedy, romance, documentary, even animation, all step into the festival spotlight. The 10-day event is bookended by star turns from John Lithgow and Olivia Colman in the opening night drama 'Jimpa' on Wednesday, June 18, and by Dylan O'Brien in the closing night comedy 'Twinless' on Pink Saturday, June 28. 'Playing with Fire: A Psychosexual Emergency' When the 2020 CZU Lightning Complex fire forced artists and activists Beth Stephens and Annie Sprinkle to evacuate their Boulder Creek (Santa Cruz County) home, it inspired the couple to confront the realities of the wildfires that threaten communities while acknowledging fire's capacity to renew. Partially narrated by Albert, a glorious white peacock personified by voiceover, this vivid documentary accompanies Stephens and Sprinkle on their journey to get to the heart of fire. Visiting with artists, a formerly incarcerated firefighter, Indigenous elders and others, the filmmakers concoct a heady brew of the mystical, the magical and the scientific. Burlesque artist Lady Monster's fiery tassel dance, a flaming stunt from performance artist Cassils, and a ceremony binding Stephens and Sprinkle to a most unusual partner are among the arresting scenes in a film that blends art with a call to action. 11 a.m. Friday, June 20. Roxie Theater, 3117 16th St., S.F. 'The Librarians' In her chilling documentary depicting the crisis modern-day librarians face, filmmaker Kim A. Snyder fittingly quotes Ray Bradbury classic dystopian novel 'Fahrenheit 451' about a fascist society where books aren't just banned, they're burned. With politicians, school boards and Moms for Liberty waging a fierce campaign to limit what young people can read, United States' librarians are the heroes fighting for free expression and the right to read. Snyder follows unfolding events at libraries, school board meetings, legislative sessions, and more in this illuminating, enraging documentary. 1:30 p.m. Saturday, June 21. Vogue Theatre. Vogue Theatre, 3290 Sacramento St., S.F. 'By Design' While her mother (Betty Buckley) and friends (Samantha Mathis, Robin Tunney) barely notice Camille's sudden vegetative state, the chair's owner, pianist Olivier (Mamoudou Athie), develops his own passionate obsession with the comely piece of furniture. 3:30 p.m. Saturday, June 21. Roxie Theater, 3117 16th St., S.F. 'Lesbian Space Princess' Broken-hearted Princess Saira, future queen of Clitopolis, gets a second chance at love when Straight White Malians kidnap her bounty hunter ex-girlfriend Kiki and demand an unusual ransom only Saira can access. The introverted royal undertakes a grand interstellar adventure to rescue her love, facing down her fears, lack of confidence, and misogynist spaceship. Through her escapades along the way to the Straight White Malians' lair, can she gain enough pluck to prevail? First-time feature makers Emma Hughes Hobbs and Leela Varghese won the Teddy Award at the Berlin International Film Festival for this Australian import, a hilarious, eye-popping animated caper. 8:30 p.m. Sunday, June 22. Roxie Theater, 3117 16th St., S.F. 'She's the He' 'Superbad' meets 'Bottoms' in writer-director Siobhan McCarthy's debut feature that views gender and identity through the lens of a raunchy teen comedy. Obsessed with his dream girl Sasha, brash high school senior Alex decides the only way he can get close to her is if he can invade the girls' locker room. To achieve that goal, he and his best friend Ethan pretend to come out as trans girls, an act with profound consequences for shy, self-deprecating Ethan. Misha Osherovich as Ethan is a standout in a sparkling ensemble of trans, queer and nonbinary actors in this raucous coming-of-age film with serious intent and a huge heart. 5:45 p.m. Tuesday, June 24. Roxie Theater, 3117 16th St., S.F. 'We Are Faheem & Karun' Indian border guard Karun and Faheem, a college student living in the country's northern region of Kashmir, live deeply closeted lives. But when they meet at a border checkpoint, instant attraction flares. Reconnecting in Faheem's village, there is no denying their feelings. The actors' erotic chemistry is white-hot even as their characters' situation is fraught. Karun's family expects him to marry. Faheem is Muslim. And the situation at the border is turning into a tinderbox. Co-writer/director Onir based this sensual, sensitive drama on a real-life Indian soldier's story. 6 p.m. Wednesday, June 25. Vogue Theatre, 3290 Sacramento St., S.F. 'Drive Back Home' Alan Cumming turns on his ebullient charm to play Perley, an adman arrested for public indecency in 1970 Toronto, in this drama inspired by writer/director Michael Clowater's family history. Reluctantly coming to his estranged brother's rescue is terse plumber Weldon (Charlie Creed-Miles), who insists Perley come back with him to their small New Brunswick hometown. 5:30 p.m. Thursday, June 26. Herbst Theatre, 401 Van Ness Ave., S.F.

Our beauty team's favourite blush just launched a new shade and we're obsessed
This cream blusher from a celebrity-owned beauty brand is a real hit with every member of our beauty team, and it's now available in a new suits-all shade that's perfect for summer With different skin types and tones and different personal styles, it's rare that a beauty product really impresses every member of The Mirror's beauty team, but that's exactly the case with this gorgeous cream blush stick – and it's now got even better. We – along with loads of other beauty editors – absolutely love Pocket Blush by Hailey Bieber's skincare and make-up brand Rhode; this super-creamy stick is so easy to apply, blends brilliantly, and the shades are perfection. I love the baby pink shade Piggy, or the sun-kissed colour Toasted Teddy in the summer, while Freckle is another popular choice – until now, that is, when a new favourite has just dropped. Rhode initially dropped Pocket Blush, £24, in the shade Sprinkle – a warm pearly pink, and the only slightly shimmery one in the line-up – as a limited-edition launch, but it proved so popular with fans that the brand has now brought it back for good. I couldn't wait to get my hands on it and, after trying it, I know I'll be reaching for it all this summer. Neither too warm nor too cool, this shade instantly makes me look more awake and fresher-faced (this is also helped by the very very subtle shimmer in the formula, which reflects the light more). I think it would suit all skin tones, too. And don't just take our word for it – Pocket Blush has been a huge hit with customers since it launched too. Writing specifically about the new shade Sprinkle, one shopper wrote: "I love this blush, it is so beautiful and it is so easy to use." Another review titled 'My new favourite colour' reads: "Sprinkle is just the right amount of pink for me! You can be subtle or build up colour." "This absolutely melts beautiful with all the other products and gives me such a beautiful 'I've just been in the sun' glow!" a third review of Sprinkle reads. " The perfect soft glam colour as well!" One point that a few customers make, however, is that it doesn't last particularly long on the skin, as is the case with more cream blushes. "I love the consistency, colour and packaging [but] it has very little staying power," one person mentioned. If you need your blusher to last a long time, you might be better off using a powder formula (try Kylie Cosmetics Pressed Powder Blush, £21) or a cheek tint, such as the now-viral Milk Makeup Cooling Water Jelly Tint, £22.

Could IL townships be dissolved? Bills supporting the decision are resurfacing, but some oppose the idea
MONTICELLO TOWNSHIP, Ill. (WCIA) — Some officials across Central Illinois are worried several townships could be dissolved if proposed bills continue to move forward. The Township Officials of Illinois report the 1,426 townships in the state serve more than 8 million citizens. For the last several years, some state officials have argued there are too many levels of government, and getting rid of townships could be one way to save money. The conversation is resurfacing, and not everyone is happy about it. Alan Sprinkle, the Monticello Township Highway Commissioner, believes it'll cost more if townships go away. He said cities or counties would have to pick up the slack to fill the gaps instead. His team plows snow, fixes potholes, maintains buildings and takes care of about 54 miles of road. Sprinkle said they cover a lot of ground, in part because Piatt County doesn't have a highway department. Over the years, Sprinkle said his team has built irreplaceable relationships with the thousands of people who live in his jurisdiction. 'We had a resident who was having a baby during a snowstorm,' he said. 'They reached out to the township and we escorted them from their home into town where they could get to the hospital so they could safely get to town with their pregnant wife.' Besides that, he said they also have a close relationship with the farming community and have helped get propane to farm houses in the winter. If townships go away, he is scared helping people in that way will change as well. Regarding the bills, SB2504, SB2217 and HB2515 are all on the table right now. Sen. Suzy Hilton (D-Western Springs) is one of the lawmakers part of the proposal. Her office confirmed she is pushing forward with SB2504, which would affect townships with 50,000 people or less. If you have any questions or concerns, Sprinkle suggests contacting state leaders to make sure your voice is heard. If you'd like to contact him directly, visit this link.

How to watch Washington vs USC today
How to watch Washington vs USC today Outside of pride, coach Danny Sprinkle and the Washington Huskies don't have much to play for as they head to the Galen Center for their final road game of the 2024-25 season. When the two teams faced off in early December, the Trojans had one of their best shooting games of the year in an 85-61 victory. "They came in, and I thought they played terrific," Sprinkle said after the game. "Credit to them, it seemed like they didn't miss in those first 30 minutes of the when we were defending with a ton of energy, they were making a ton of shots. We didn't do a good job of guarding them that kind of took the wind out of our sails." In the second matchup, with much less to play for, Sprinkle may lean heavily on some of the younger players that could be part of his core moving forward, like guards Zoom Diallo, Jase Butler, and Tyler Harris, after calling out his team for its lack of focus against Indiana. "We've got some guys and it's just not the most important thing, and that's a problem," Sprinkle said. After not converting a field goal against the Hoosiers, where he finished with just 4 points and 4 rebounds, Great Osobor will also be looking for a bounce-back performance with just two games remaining in his college career.
