I've only seen Iron Lung once, I may be misremembering key scenes a tiny bit.

Why Tumblr Has Rolled Out ID Verification

UK legislation: Online Safety Act 2023

Brazil legislation: Digital Statute For Children And Adolescents

Apple App Store Age Verification

These are not tumblr specific policies. Tumblr is implementing age verification in response to legislative moves that were made months ago.

Tumblr is a failing social media site that has escaped death multiple times already; they do not have the social cachet to defy state regulatory agencies. We know they won't say no to Apple, either--the porn ban on tumblr was in response to Apple's crackdown on explicit content.

If you did not know this was happening, you were behind the curve. That is fine. You're caught up now. The next step is to link up with people in your country who are working to preserve privacy, to roll back these laws where they exist, and to prevent their passage where they do not. In the US the organization you want is Stop KOSA--in the EU you can start with Fight Chat Control.

Repealing ID verification and blocking chat control will help everyone, especially the most vulnerable. We can push this back, but we cannot get it done through the Feedback form. We have to get it done at the legislative level and lock it down so it cannot be forced upon us. I see lots of anger out there. Good. Put it to use.

True fact: I draw nearly every day, I even finish stuff sometimes! But I'm so allergic to playing the algorithm game and all that junk my depressed brain is like "ummmm post this at a better time, no one will care at this hour" and so there's gobs and gobs of my art no one gets to see. Hate the game not the player u_u (oh yeah, don't forget the anxiety that tells me someone's gonna take something innocuous i write in the corner wwwwaaaaay too personally and then it's that damn dreamworks incident all over again)

oh hi, fellow iron lungians, I'm glad you all liked my really dumb comic from before. My blood's still roilin' for making fanart so stick around why don't you?

[rustedmonkeyking]

I saw Iron Lung with my brother a couple weeks ago and had this terrible idea that begged to be illustrated...

[rustedmonkeyking]

hey hey - i don’t know if this is weird, but i’ve been following your art for a long time now (oh man, probably since 2011-2012 - definitely during tegaki) and i’m always so happy to still see you posting throughout all these years. your art has always been a huge inspiration to me (and has pretty heavily influenced my own art) and got me hooked on a bunch of franchises i dont think i wouldve touched otherwise. just wanted to say thank you and keep it up man 👍 -S

Thank you, that means alot to hear ;m; That feels like hundreds of years ago but I miss the tegaki days alot, it was a major reprieve from the stresses of school and home life. Glad I could be a weird influence for a myriad of franchises lolol;;;;;

Would you be okay if I turned your splashwoman and roll drawing (specifically this one) into a pin ?

Yeah!! Yes!!!! So sorry for the long wait, butyeah that's totally fine!

It's now been 2 years since I started HRT. Tjis year the fuhrer in office of my country managed to bully my clinic into cutting me off, but I found another source and am back on track.
