Ohhhh shit, it was Daredevil that hooked me on to Marvel for the record, not Iron Man. So here we go for round 2, I guess.

You want to do something for the good of history? Do something constructive and learn from the ancestors.
U.S. California Republicans in Congress fled to Mar-a-Lago in Florida as Los Angeles continued to burn. They attended parties with Trump while people tried to save their homes. This is what rule under oligarchy looks like. #LAfires

12.01.2025 18:18 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0So my training on the pavement and the treadmill is still in progress, but I aim to have all my splits back AND my backbend too. Both right and left, and my center split. My standards are high. Not an actual goal unless I can hold them all for at least 10 seconds easily. 2/

When I started running, I haven’t dedicated the kind of stretching that I have in the past and it shows. I’m a bundle of muscle. Now, I am working on both strength and flexibility. 1/
