Ages ago on the porta-potty site I started #ThoughtfulThursday, hoping to encourage everyone to share nuggets of inspiration, wisdom & positivity, to make Thursday suck a little less. If you'd like me to bring this over here then drop a 💙& repost.

Jasmin Paris won the Montane Spine Race #OTD in 2019 & became the first woman to win the brutal 268-mile ultrarace outright, setting a new record by >12 hours (83h 12m 23s). Kicker? At checkpoints, she breastfed her baby. Global headlines for the athletic achievement & unique logistical challenge.

Why did 1920 winner Knut Hamsun give his Nobel Prize for Literature medal to Nazi Minister of Propaganda Joseph Goebbels in 1943?
Because that's how you appease the Leopards Eating Faces Party. You give them ALL the prizes, trophies, and medals and hope they don't eat your face for one more day.
