    I worked with a trashy white woman who was mad that we had pride stuff up for June and Juneteenth stuff up on the 19th because of Father’s day (what?). So the whole crew decided to troll by having fake conversations in her presence about how father’s day should only be celebrated by gay black fathers. We were all happy when at he was every eventually fired.

      Oof I had a counselor once who went off unprompted about how there’s a MLK Day but no White Person Day, among other manifestations of bigotry I’ve encountered in my community

        Even if they had a day (which they do, it’s the various holidays for different European cultures) they’d still complain. Like how the only time people mention International Men’s Day is when they say why don’t we have one during International Women’s Day in February. But not in June, which is when International Men’s Day actually happens.

          Damn, those search spikes are like clockwork. Could we harness cyclical outrage to generate power, like the tides?

          Since when is it in June? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Men’s_Day says it’s on November 19th.

          Are there two international men’s days or why is there a spike in June?

          The equivalent of MLK Day is Presidents’ Day. I’m not even sure what you mean by European holidays, Halloween? I would not consider Christian holidays like Easter or Christmas to be white holidays and can’t think of anything else that qualifies as “European”

          Tbf the fact that there’s no LinkOpensChest.wav Appreciation Day feels like a major oversight

            I love this analogy, because you literally have a birthday and forgot about it lol.
