You're probably looking at my blog during the dark ages of the internet! I'm not gonna be posting here much anymore because Matt Mullenweg (the CEO) is a goddamned creep and an obsessive menace. Also, he's selling your data to AI chuds! Please check my pinned post if you wanna find me elsewhere! Otherwise, check my carrd.
Ay yo, did this site stop ruthlessly coming after NSFW artists and trans people? Are we done calling people warcriminals for not having a money hemorrhaging bank account to donate to warcrime victims?
Are we back to our usual modal of sanity here?
I might come back if this site chills the hell out, I kinda miss what I had here before the war turned this place into a "you're with us or against us" twitter ragebait shithole while the CEO bans and shits on dissidents.

No, it's not. Someone is just misunderstanding a joke (which they admit in the replies) . The original forum it was posted on uses "eternal September" dating: basically, it's the idea that September of 1993 never ended. (why? Legacy internet reasons).
I can't find a screenshot that shows that timestamp, but you can see the same thing happening in the similar "this tastes like prion disease" post:
You see the dates? If you read the whole date, it's September, 1993, the... 7202nd day?
See? Eternal September. Today is the 11,278th day of September, 1993.
This image was mislabeled by someone who saw the original screenshot, didn't understand the date, and cropped it to hide that fact (intentionally or otherwise)
that September of 1993 never ended. (why? Legacy internet reasons)
Ah, Eternal September.
Before there was facebook or twitter or tumblr, there was usenet.
Usenet was a collection of user groups not unlike reddit, but collectively run by universities & companies. Nobody owned it. Moderation was performed by patient volunteers and varied from group to group according to policy, but was usually enforced as:
don't be a dick
don't doxx or stalk people
hate crimes are unacceptable
don't be a dick
Some newsgroups had other rules (like No TNG Spoilers in the rec.arts.startrek newsgroup) but generally speaking everyone online agreed to those basic tenets.
Back then the only way to gain access to usenet was (1) be a university student at a school with internet access, or (2) be an employee of a big company with internet access, like Boeing, IBM, Intel, etc.
But because corporate america was yet ignorant of the potential for internet commerce, most of usenet was populated by university folk, both students & faculty. Private ISPs did exist during this era, but were rare and expensive. I gained access to the internet & usenet in 1987 via a pal who ran one such service.
And since most usenet participants were (at the time) university students, this led to an easily understood cycle of events, a calendar of sorts: every September, newly minted freshmen would be granted internet logins and flood usenet with ill-behaved bullshit. The existing usenet members would crack down on the newbies, banning & educating as required. The people who learned the rules & obeyed? They got to stick around. The others were permabanned; knocked offline.
This is how the internet & usenet worked for most of a decade.
But then, in September 1993, something happened to change that forever. America Online opened their spanking new internet portal to everyone with an AOL account, and chaos ensued. For $19/month every mom, dick, and harry could suddenly participate in usenet groups, and none of these AOL people were conversant with the existing culture. Nor did they want to learn.
The flood of barbarians quickly overwhelmed the moderators. It's never been the same since. Usenet still exists in 2024, but it's a hollow shell of the vibrant culture from the 1980s, mostly used to host files now. Reddit comes sorta close to what we had, but Reddit will never be usenet, for many reasons.

Since we're here, i'll just add: my own Patreon is still indefinitely on hiatus as the new billing changes are not compatible with the rewards I used to offer. More info on my hiatus is available in this post.
My Lineart Templates [also known as Adoptable Bases] are being relocated to my Big Cartel, with entirely new bases being periodically added: godbirdart.bigcartel.com
Telegram stickers are still available as a commission option during my regular commission openings.
Wow I love you all. So much. Unfortunately my tiny little ko-fi has never had this much traffic before, so uh... Please send general donations to [THIS] paypal. All the money is still going to the same place, loves!
[ If you're looking for art from me, make sure you're sending the right amount and note you're looking for one of my commissions so they don't get confused! ]
Fuck the federal government, I guess, house of 6 needs help.
Short and bittersweet of it: we got dicked out of unemployment we were promised and this has put us so far in the red, I cannot even begin to process just how unbelievably stressful that being $1000 below the necessary amount to keep a roof over our heads can be.
Roommates are opening commissions and setting Ko-fi goals, you do not know how fucking helpful it'd be if you at least took a look or spread this. Ya know, on the site where everyone needs help. I guess.
Anything helps. Seriously. Anything.
GUESS WHAT BABES
I'm right back to not having a job, and we're short on rent! There's currently one commission in the queue.
Support Méabh On Ko-fi. Ko-fi lets you support the people and causes you love with small donations
Become a supporter of tluthal today! ❤️ Ko-fi lets you support the creators you love with no fees on donations.
Please be sure to direct all donations temporarily to the Méabh KoFi link. Paypal's trying to claim that Tluthal's getting too much suddenly and is threatening to hold their money for 21 days, which will really fuck us over if they do that.
Again, any help is immeasurably appreciated, it's a matter of keeping a roof over mine and five other people's heads in this one house. Housing has gotten stupidly expensive in New Jersey and it's the only thing keeping some of us off the street.

Hello I am Safaa, married to Mohammed, and I have a 7-month-old child.
In light of the Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip, we went through very difficult circumstances. We were displaced several times, and the first night was very difficult, and in the morning it was our first displacement and leaving the house, and then we lost my house, which I had paid for with all the money that I had, as a result of the bombing that we had been witnessing throughout. today .

I need your help in raising money to leave the Gaza Strip I need to raise money to restore a beautiful life and stability outside the Gaza Strip Everything I tell leaves only a small amount of the suffering we are experiencing.
Each day that the occupation continues is another day that Palestinians will need our help and support to see their land and people freed. I know you have seen many posts like this, but please, I ask you to take a moment out of your day to stop and read this one. Yusra and her family need your help. 🙏
Yusra is a mother, and wants to get her and her daughter Maryam out of Gaza and into Egypt to be able to rebuild their lives. Her daughter was doing very well in school and had dreams and wishes for her life. Yusra was working hard, you can see her work in these pictures, to create a stable life for herself and her daughter.
Yusra and Maryam are now forced to live in fear, first fleeing to Yusra's parents' home, then to multiple shelters, and being displaced to Rafah and most recently to Khan Younis. The family has been displaced four times in total, and under conditions where they have limited access to water, food, power, and internet, and while under the threat and fear of bombing and Israeli attacks.
Can you imagine living with no access to basic necessities, while being terrified that you may not see tomorrow? Knowing that your child isn't safe, but being powerless to protect her? What crime have Yusra and Maryam committed? Any human being can recognize this injustice. Let your anger move you to make a difference, and contribute to Yusra's campaign. She worked hard to support her family and provide her daughter with a peaceful childhood, but after October, their hopeful future was stolen from them ... will you help them take it back?

Fortunately, I still remember my name: Rana.
I can also remember that I’m a graduate of the Faculty of English-Frensh literature then I completed my master’s studies in education.
Being from northern Gaza means that I have lived through war, aggression, siege, massacre, pain, loss, torment, and also “death”, which life here forces you to look at with your own eyes.
As October approached, the catastrophic chapters of this story dramatically unfolded.
It fills my heart with darkness every moment.
I open my phone gallery and scrolling up to that promising life where I no longer belong.
Pursuing my Phd education abroad with a good scholarship was always my goal which I believed would be achieved but due to the complete destruction of the city and continuing displacment from place to another, I couldn’t register in any program and I lost the chance this year.
I was working and training in a company inside “Al Jammal tower”, which is one of the largest towers housing software and languages companies in Gaza, where we were mixing commitment and fun, dreaming of a better future. But once our company became a target and was completely destroyed, my business was shattered as well as my dreams, leaving me heartless and soulless.
We are not numbers.
Remember, despite the difficulties I face in Gaza and the challenges I face with courage, I always realise that my story is a small part of the stories of 2.2 million people who face difficulties and struggle to survival in harsh conditions.
🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉
But there is a glimmer of hope amidst this darkness.
With your support and generous donations, I can rebuild my life from the ashes and hit my goal.
Every donation, no matter the size, will have a significant impact.
Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for your unwavering support in this urgent matter.
My precious family and I are seeking your generous donations to help us e… Rana Khalaf needs your support for Death chases my family in Gaza
