Also, how about some nudity to celebrate me finally getting back on my workout routine? #thiccthursday maybe? 🍑

Also the magic that comes from two posts appearing in the perfect order on your timeline.

The upper two-frame post displays a Godzilla-like Kaiju doing a sexy pole dance on a skyscraper followed by the skyscraper breaking under the strain and the Kaiju falling.
