Needed national days


  1. National Alligator Day. Alligators are only indigenous to the US and China so we really should celebrate them.
  2. National Time Capsule Day. Either bury one or dig one up, both would be fun!
  3. National Take a Nap Day. Ideally, this would actually be once a week, but naps are magical and should be honored.
  4. National Tidy Day. Wouldn't it be great if you had a day off to just do all that tidying that you'd love to do?
  5. National Baby Animal Day. Why stop at puppies? Plenty of animals are cute as babies.
  6. National Take a Photo Day. I feel like I see something new when I look at the world through a photographer's eye. It would be good for more people to at least try this.
  7. National Listen to One Song Day. Think you actually have a favorite song? TRY LISTENING IT FOR A WHOLE DAY! SEE WHAT HAPPENS.
  8. National Write a Thank You Note Day. Everyone has someone they should send a note to, but haven't, so take this day to do it!
  9. National Write a Letter Day. Everyone only gets spam mail, let's change that!
  10. National Coloring Day. Let's all take a break and just color for a bit. Could be good for destressing, but also some bonding.
  11. National Aunt Day. As I'm now an aunt, I'd like to have a day :D
  12. National Belated Birthday Day. Did you miss someone's birthday? Of course you did. Let's just pick one day a year that we can celebrate all of those we missed. That way, you only have to remember one date.
  13. National Figure Out a New State Noun Day. Yeah you have a state bird, but do you have a state nail polish color? This could be the day to decide on the new noun your legislators need to 
  14. National Run and Scream Day. So a run and scream is where you stand in a line with people and then on the mark, you all start running and screaming and you run until you can't scream any more. Now this gets a lot of frustration out and, you know, there may be something in the news that just makes you want to scream.
  15. National Rewatch Your Favorite Kids' Movie Day. Remember that movie you loved as a kid? How good/bad/weird is it actually? You should rewatch it and find out.
  16. National Volunteer Day. For those who have the time, why don't you give some of it?
  17. National Bake Cookies Day. Just think how lovely every city would smell because of this.
  18. National Be a Tourist in Your City Day. Go do that thing that your city is known for, but that you've never done or go explore somewhere new.
  19. National New Mode of Transportation Day. Never been dog sledding? Try it! Never ridden a unicycle? Give it a whirl! Never invented a new kind of transportation? Invent away!
  20. National Glitter Day. The trick is that this would then become a glitter year because it would be EVERYWHERE.
  21. National Bold Fashion Day. Try something new today! Thought of doing drag? Work it! Wanted to wear a denim suit? Give it your all! Considered having bubble gum pink hair? Get that dye!
  22. National Relaxation Day. Get a message, meditate, nap, take a bubble bath, do whatever you need to recharge.
  23. National Hair Day. This has so many possibilities. You could get a new do, a new color, or even just a new hair brush.
  24. National Art Day. Just try some new art form today!
  25. National Stretch Day. Can you touch your toes? It's your goal for the day!

What days would you add?

15 facts I learned from a random Wikipedia article

Original prompt: click on "Random Wikipedia Article" and write about whatever comes up (you can try 3 times and pick your favorite). For the record, I got Alejandro Estivill , Fencing at the 2011 Pan American Games – Women's épée , and Benjamin F. Jonas . I chose Benjamin F. Jonas because it was the longest of the three entries and it had a photo. He was born in Kentucky, moved to Illinois as a kid, and went to college and spent the rest of his life in Louisiana Jonas's father was a merchant and lawyer His father knew Lincoln (like they were real buds) Despite this, Jonas sided with the confederacy Not only did he side with the confederacy, but he joined the Confederate army and rose to the rank of major He went to University of Louisiana (now Tulane) Jonas was Jewish (I didn't know there were Jewish senators who served the Confederacy) He was the second Jewish U.S. Senator from Louisiana and the third Jewish Senator overall Jonas was the first Ashkenazi Jewish US...

Origin story or first issue of a superhero whose super power is geometry

Arya sat in history class and was bored. She longed to get to geometry, where things made more sense. She liked geometry so much that she had joined the math team to be able to do it more. Okay, there was also the extra time with her friends who loved math as much as she did, but some of the appeal was just the math itself. Finally the bell rang and Arya had four minutes to get to her geometry class. She passed right by the chemistry class next door where her least favorite teacher was conducting experiments. He needed to be more careful, thought Arya. The teacher had once exploded a glass beaker and not on purpose. Arya took her seat and excitedly pulled out her notebook. It was her favorite color: hot pink. She assigned her notebook and folder colors in ways that felt right to her. And since geometry was her favorite subject, she made her notebook and folder for it her favorite color. As the teacher started to go over the most common mistakes from the last quiz, Arya could've swo...

Color palette

Original prompt: "Google "color palette," pick one, and write something inspired by it." I actually Googled "color palette public domain" to be sure I could use it and found the image on this post. I used the "floral" section for my inspiraiton. The soft sunlight somehow didn't dim the shine of the fireflies. Such it was in the fae realm. Fern loved this time of day in the faewild where it wasn't quite day, but it was far from night. Fern frolicked alone in the glade as she was want to do. It didn't matter to her that her laughter carried itself alone on the breeze; she was content. She wasn't sure how long she'd been alone as she watched the suns begin to set, but it was pleasant in its own way. But then, she heard a noise. It wasn't the noise of leaves on the wind or twigs snapping from some comforting creature. It was the noise of someone approaching with grim determination. Fern wasn't sure how to ready herself to ...
