Got my Brazilian Jiujitsu black belt this Saturday after a mere 16 years of training

A long and challenging road across 4 towns, 6 gyms, a handful of competitions, a few minor injuries, a few not-so-minor injuries, wins, losses, ups and downs, and now here we are at the belt I'll have the longest.
Two folks stand in Brazilian Jiujitsu gis, one blue, one white, both wearing black belts - the person in the white gi has also got a brown belt around his neck, implying he had just received the black belt (which he had!)

Left Spain this morning, caught one last sunrise over the beautiful northeastern Spanish coast

And of course used it for the nice sunrise lighting for a photo

Will definitely be visiting again - want to see moreof the amazing and beautiful town of Tarragona

Feeling refreshed ❤️

"Oral Toilet? I thought they closed that place down!"
A still of a scene from the Simpsons where krusty is standing in amongst a crowd of other characters who are standing behind Maude Flanders who had tried to spell out the salacious acts that principal skinner and Mrs Krabapple had supposedly gotten up to in the school during classroom hours Krusty, mis-spelling in his head what Maude had said, exclaims "Sex cauldron!? I thought they shut that place down!"

The LondonFurs boat party last weekend was an absolute highlight of the year

Wet have an amazing community of furries in the UK, and we are so lucky to have incredible events like these that somehow don't break the bank

Furry party under the most iconic landmarks ♥️

There is a REALLY nice gym where we're staying with equipment that is hard to find, so had to get in a quick session before we headed home after our LF Trip

Belt squats, a brilliantly designed hip thrust, and prone rows

So you all get post training photos

Following another lovely LondonFurs party, I need to express how important these events and the moments within them are to our community ♥️
A text post reading "Leaving London after another fabulous LondonFurs party, I'm going to echo very similar sentiments to last year! There's little better feeling than being able to be your whole self, unashamed, without restriction, amongst like minded people. No need to try to explain, or justify, the weird things we enjoy and the way we choose to be. It's hard to express how lucky we are to have these events. There's not much else like this anywhere in the world. No matter if you think it's become too big, too loud, too difficult, or whatever other perceived problem - these grew from a group of 3-4 people in a pub to what we have today and have somehow maintained the same ethos: this is one of the few furry events in the entire world where just shy of a thousand furries can gather for free, no £400+ registration fee and celebrate who we are. Even the boat party is a pittance compared to similar events, furry or non furry. All the difficulties the meets have are off the back of SO MANY furries finding a place where they belong. For those new to meets - make the most of them as much as you can. For many of you, as life continues, in maybe 5, maybe 10 years, when work, family, commitments, health, or myriad other life challenges make attending regular meets difficult, you'll look back on these moments - good and bad ones alike - in a way that right now you may not be able to understand. Many will come to realise just how fortunate we are and how powerful it is for us to have a space and a time for us to be our whole selves, with folks who have worked incredibly hard to cater to every type of furry expression we care to have: suiting, art, dance, games, reading/writing, or just being a person who happens to describe themselves as a furry. I've said it before and I'll say it again: This is our place These are our people ♥️" The second half of a text post reading: "Leaving London after another fabulous LondonFurs party, I'm going to echo very similar sentiments to last year!

An adequately cheesy rise to @yeenthings.bsky.social 's challenge!
A man stands in a hotel room with a motif of the London eye on the wall behind him. He is in black trunks, with a glow in the dark wristband on one hand and a red wristband in the other. His pose is cheesy.

Today has been an exceptionally good day!

It's @sugarmouse.bsky.social 's birthday, so we spent a lot of time on the beach, cycling, learning Japanese together, doing contact juggling, leg attacks at class,then falafel wraps by the harbour!

Have a happy-day post-beach progress picture!

Did you ever play "zombies ate my neighbours"?

It had that purple potion that transformed you into a big monster

Seems relevant

Fuck it, gratuitous body picture, because this is bluesky

This is one of my favourite body pictures of all time (I genuinely don't think I have the uncensored original, sorry)

I wish to recreate this this summer

Visited Wolf bar Asakusa in Tokyo twice whilst we were away

The atmosphere was amazing, the owner was lovely, and we met so many Japanese and international furries

Place was absolutely heaving! So many furries!

We need more places like this - felt like home despite being so far from it ♥️

Always try to get a cheesy hotel room mirror picture when I'm away

Was quite unwell in Japan so almost was unable to.

But finally better, so hello from Tokyo!

I'd say that I am adequately fried, wouldn't you?

I'd like to think I'm medium rare but I think the chef has overcooked me

Side note:

Hip MRIs have significant limitations, as do shoulders, because labral pathologies (tears to the lip of tissue that sits around the rim of the socket) DO NOT SHOW UP on most standard MRIs.

They do on contrast scans (see below for a comparison) but a specialist should be ordering that>
Two images of the same hip using magnetic resonance imaging, on the left is without contrast, and on the right is with contrast (MRI-Arthrogram). The left scan has minimal signal change that could denote a labral tear, whereas the right has high signal in an area and size that could indicate a labral tear.

Me when I am expected to do anything at any time for any reason
One half of the royal college of emergency medicine featuring a painting of a man in a folded cloth with his eyes shut standing on the edge of plants just getting absolutely clattered to death by every instrument of pain and malice you can think of - swords and axes through the shoulder, a dart to the forehead, arrows through stomach back and thighs, a sabre buried under the rib cage, and a cannonball snapping the shin in twain. Just a really bad day for the mascot of accident and emergency.

Ach, I cropped the score out:
An AI writing IQ analyser that rated the following as "exceptionally gifted": "Extravaganza corpulent stratification analysis. Hitherto comeuppance rectified the extensors 'neath the knitted brow. "Alas, alack!?", nay, despite vociferous calibration, naught predicated any or all or asunder, as extraneous hemodynamics flooded the precipice of the dark green salad with poorly flavoured sauce. "
