I like to paint and make stuff. Just me in NYC. PFP: a winged astronaut falling out of a starry black sky like a modern day Icarus. Banner: painted milky way sky, the stars seen are actually holes in the surface with light shining through from behind

SUPPORT STILL NEEDED AT DELANY HALL

5/26/26

There is good reason to believe that GEO Group and ICE in an effort to break the strikers, is in the process, right now, of transferring folks out of Delaney to other regions of the country where they are at grave risk of expedited deportation.

ICE knows folks are at work, so are escalating their efforts to swiftly do this. If you can call out of work, now is the time.

鬼鬼鬼PLEASE- GATHER YOUR COMRADES AND TURN UP IN HUGE NUMBERS RIGHT NOW. YOU CAN TAKE NJ TRANSIT FOR $6 AND THE EASTBOUND 25 BUS.

It's hilarious when Americans pity my Norwegian tax rate. And yes. We pay more to the state. In return, we get free healthcare, free college, and 49 weeks of fully paid parental leave. We do not have to crowd-fund our cancer treatments.

Your 'low taxes' just mean you pay private corporations a premium for the privilege of still going broke when you get sick. Our system is an investment in human dignity.

Yours is a GoFundMe waiting to happen.

The math is really not that complicated.

castinbronze@castinbronze· Feb 4

I rarely post my art on social media anymore and I'm guessing you can figure out why. But this fiesty little painting pretty much insisted on being posted. Maybe you can figure out the why for that too. The tide is turning.

A small watercolour painting of Medusa, a gorgon. She is faintly green skinned with dark green coils of snakes in her hair. She's moving obliquely toward the viewer with her head turned to her left in an open mouthed scream of rage. She wields a dagger in each hand the right raised above her head, the left held at the ready down in front of her; looking like she's about to skewer something off the page from both sides. The painting is done inside a small handmade accordion sketchbook about 2.5x2.5" and is held in my left hand for the photo to show scale.

Quoting to add alt text.

Regarding age verification, here is our current plan for UK users:

1. If your account is more than ten years old, we will assume you are currently over 18. This is in line with one of the methods of effective age assurance, which involves paying a third party to match your email address against some sort of database of scraped data, which determines if your email has been in use for a long time. We have our own long-term data, so we'll use that instead.

2. If your account ever bought Supporter status with a credit card and we can confirm that with the payment processor, we will assume you are over 18 because you need to be 18 in the UK to have a credit card.

3. If your account ever bought Supporter status more than two years ago, we will assume you are over 18 because you need to be at least 16 to have a Paypal or debit card in the UK (assuming we are right about this).

4. If none of the above applies, you will have the opportunity to pay a small one-time fee via credit card as confirmation of your age.

We are not planning to offer things like ID checks or facial recognition because these require us to pay a third party to confirm each person. Because Newgrounds runs at a loss and doesn't monetize users very well, this is not an option for us. As Wired noted, Big Tech is the only winner of the Online Safety Act because smaller websites can't afford to keep up with this sort of regulation.

Queer comrades and allies in Seattle, have I got a Mastodon server for you.

BUILT FOR REAL CONVERSATION

with 69420 characters per post, you get plenty of space to go deep into topics, instead of just making surface-level quips. built-in support for content and spoiler warnings lets you share sensitive discussions and media with only those who want to see them

ALWAYS WITHIN REACH

with multiple apps available for ios, android, and every platform you can think of, mastodon is easy to use everywhere you go. an easy to use and open api ensures a rich ecosystem of 3rd party apps
