Completely out of nowhere, for no reason that I can discern, I can suddenly get into my DMs here again after two-and-a-bit months of them being locked off. So, if you should happen to feel like sending a DM my way, I will in fact be able to read it now. Which is nice.

Ouch! Gary might be a bit shorter than Ajax, but never count out a guy at the right height to deliver bombs!

Fightober Day 14: Uppercut

No matter how big your opponent is, a quick pop on the chin to scramble his brain is sure to send him to dizzy dreamland. 💫😵‍💫💤

[OC] - (Young) Estefan

#furryart #wrestling

A cartoon colored sketch page of Estefan, a muscular male anthropomorphic white lion wrestler. He has a short cream colored mane, a tattoo of a heart with cupid's arrow on his upper chest and is wearing star themed green wrestling tights with dark open toe boots.

Pose 1: He's standing giving someone a thumbs up while saying "Keep training, Youngblood!" (despite being young himself)

Pose 2: He's coming up a surface and pointing at someone saying "you and me, pussy!"

Pose 3: He's holding a microphone.

Got a job you love that leaves you feeling happy and fulfilled? Well, that won’t do at all. You should be doing backbreaking labour in fields for a pittance every day until a couple of years before you die so that your whole existence is a joyless slog, because some overprivileged rich cunt says so.

Finished commission for @zorku.bsky.social , of his wrestler, Alan Cross, delivering a discus knee strike to his unfortunate opponent!

#art #noai #furry #furryart #wrestling #FightFurs #wolf

Two anthropomorphic male wolves in a wrestling ring before a large audience. The red wolf is leaping to deliver a discus knee strike to the jaw of a more heavyset Hokkaido wolf. The red wolf is wearing briefs style wrestling trunks and books, while the Hokkaido wolf is wearing elbow pads, and more trouser-like black truinks and leggings. Stage lights stream down from overhead. The art was done by The Dammitch.

After seeing Charlie viciously KO'ing his opponents over several months, Gary quickly accepted when the match request hit his inbox. He was ready to show this ovine a REAL fight!

I am blown away by @sheeppizza2.bsky.social style! I always loved their art and I'm honored to share the ring with him!

Sketch commission for @musclecollie.bsky.social, featuring Mason and Nes doing some heavy bag training together! 🥊🦘

Mason (an anthro border collie dog, muscular body, shirtless and wearing tight exercise shorts and gloves, parted hair and a head band) is holding a heavy punching bag as Nes (an anthro kangaroo with exercise shorts, muscular body type, gloves, and nose strip) pounds away at it, panting heavily. Mason has a cocky look on his face as he leans around the bag to see Nes, as though saying, "Is that all you've got?!"

There’s an inversely-proportional relationship between the amount of respect that people are prepared to show the creators of characters they like and the fame of said characters. The more famous the character, the more people feel they have carte blanche to do whatever they like with them.

Right-wingers literally straight-up admitting "it's harder to discredit the left because the left is almost always telling the truth"
Scott Jennings @Lum 21h um, yes, that's really a problem

The problem with left-leaning media is they're intrinsically more strict with their propaganda to only using verifiable sources so it's really hard to poke holes in their ideology and arguments in comparison to a lot of low quality rightwing content.
That makes attacking their points with fact checkers not very effective unless the fact checkers use misinformation tactics as well.
In essence people on the right have to work harder and more creatively to push their agendas as statistics and studies frustratingly arent usually on our side.
