Thurgood Marshall is recognized most notably as the first Black Supreme Court Justice; however, Marshall has a lengthy track record of historic accomplishments, especially in the arena of law. A United States Solicitor General and a civil rights lawyer, Thurgood Marshall set the stage for Black representation in federal law positions for attorneys and aspiring attorneys in the 21st century.

Today it’s officially 2 months since I started going to the gym!!! I didn’t really feel like going but I still went and it wasn’t like awfully hard to get myself there. I decided I wanted today to be a challenge to celebrate 2 FUCKING MONTHS!!!! 9 WEEK STREAK!!!!! HELL YEAAHHHH. Beat my previous record on the first 32 min. Then I pushed and also beat my previous record of how long I went for!!! 1:40 baby

I’m very proud of myself. I pushed through some very tough minutes. When the thoughts in my head got too loud, when the regrets in my heart grew too heavy, but I just ran past them. That was wild.

I might have pushed myself a little too much? My leg hurts, the right one. No more ankle pain though??? Just some pain in one of the adductors I believe. I should be doing those exercise machines at the gym, I can’t start training with weights seriously until my body can hold itself. And press itself. Cause I can’t squat for shit and I think it’s that instability.

The airship Norge, designed by the Italian Umberto Nobile, overflew the pole as part of a joint expedition with the Norwegian Roald Amundsen.

This makes Amundsen one of the first to both the South and the North poles, though he wouldn't have known it during his lifetime. Ironically, the North pole had been his original target, back in 1910; the only reason he had gone South was that he believed Cook's claim. That decision both made his name and blighted his life after the death of the British explorer Scott in the race for the same target. (He was also, incidentally, the first to navigate the Northwest Passage which had been eating British naval expeditions for a good hundred years; no wonder the British establishment didn't like him.)

Nobile would survive a crash on the ice in 1928 during a later expedition, though most of his crew did not. His enemies used the event to destroy his reputation and career. Amundsen joined the search for his old friend, and vanished in the Arctic.

girl I picked up weights for the first time on Friday!!! At the hotel gym at that!!! I worked out on a work trip!!! I’d say that’s cool asf

I was not feeling great tho. Like. I just. Was emotional and not feeling good. It was also 11 pm. I did 10 min elliptical and then played around w the weights for like 20 min. I was able to do presses well enough but like deadlifting was so hard with my belly it made me feel like shit and also I can’t squat to depth for shit and also I REALLY hated what I look like
