Monday, February 19.

Make a wish.

Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you. Happy birthday dear, well, us?

Well, how about that. On this very day, 17 years ago, online culture was changed forever. The internet instantaneously became better, brighter, shitpostier, and adequately normal about the things we care about most. And that's because Tumblr dot com was birthed.

Whatever it is you're doing, folks, keep it up. You're doing it well. Come celebrate with us.

The anniversary celebration artwork for user joining Twitter stops after the 15th year, so I draw one myself every year.

It's unbelievable that I've even reached adulthood on Twitter.

I didn't realize it at the 16th anniversary…

(I'll always call it Twitter, not that X thing!)

Saturnalia

The Saturnalia was an enduring Roman festival dedicated to the agricultural god Saturn which was held between the 17th and 23rd of December each year during the winter solstice. Originating from archaic agricultural rituals the Roman festivities came to include a general round of gift-giving, merrymaking, and role-reversals so that it became one of the most popular celebrations in the calendar and certainly the jolliest. The similarities of some of its features and the timing - pushed later into December over time - suggest a strong influence on the Christian celebration of Christmas.

Saturn

The focus of the Saturnalia and the god who gave his name to the festival was Saturn (or Saturnus), who is something of a mysterious figure in Roman religion. Depictions of the god in surviving art have him wearing a veil and brandishing either a sickle or a pruning knife suggesting a close relation with agriculture and especially seed-growing or seed-corn. With links to indigenous Italian deities and perhaps, too, a version of the Greek god Kronos, he was regarded as a primordial deity who had taught humanity important agricultural skills. He was thought to have ruled when the world enjoyed a Golden Age of prosperity and happiness, hence the general frivolity of his festival.
