Once I learn to tear open inter-dimensional portals at will...
Happy National Create a Vacuum Day! Today's occasion invites us to explore spaces void of matter. I would like my adversaries to explore spaces void of matter by chucking them into an inter-dimensional portal or hurling them off into the far-flung reaches of the neighboring galactic spiral arm.
🤩 OMG, do you know what TODAY is?!? 🦔
Happy National Ukulele Day! I love ukuleles (aka mini guitars) for the same reason I love broccoli (aka mini trees) — holding either one makes me feel like a freaking GIANT.
You think YOU'VE got it bad? 😾
Who's the most miserable of them all now, hot shot?
I kid, I kid. (Mostly.) But yeah...TikTok. Facebook and Instagram ads — which in all likelihood are what originally led you into Boredwalk's dank, maudlin corner of the internet over the last few years — have been an absolute money fire for us over the last several weeks, so like a very frantic lemming, we are going to be doing some stuff over on TikTok to see if that helps.

One month into 2022, how're you feeling? 😾
Happy National...Kazoo Day? And apparently...National Fun At Work Day? Wanna have "fun" at work today? Bring a kazoo into the office/warehouse/teacher's lounge/construction site/wherever and start playing on it; see how quickly your workplace devolves into a chaotic Lord of the Flies-esque meleé wherein your coworkers pummel you senseless.
📝 If your schedule isn't booked for the day...
Happy Library Shelfie Day! Today's random observance invites you to snap pics of your books and share 'em online. I like this occasion for a couple of reasons:
🤩 In case no one told you today...
Happy National Compliment Day! My favorite compliment is actually just making someone laugh, but compliments on my crown of femurs are also welcome.
Practice self-care like a cactus 🌵
Happy National Hugging Day, I guess. If you are a hugger and you've got huggers in your life, more power to you — get those squeezes! My dream is for a world where huggers and non-huggers can peacefully co-exist. As you probably guessed, I am in the latter camp. That leaves me with the unsavory options of awkwardly cringing through hugs I don't want or hurting someone's feelings.
Good things are coming...🤩
Happy Brew a Potion Day! I like to start most days with a potion of very strong coffee, which imbues me with the power to tolerate the day's annoyances. If you've got the recipe for something more magical though, holler at your girl. Caffeine seems less than adequate some days.
I fought my flaws and my flaws won 🖤
Happy Ditch New Years Resolutions Day! If you've sworn off sweets, swearing, or some other mundane thing that brings you joy, today invites you to throw in the towel.
Well, this about sums it up: 🗑️🔥
This is normally the part of the email where I tell you what weird national observance coincides with today's date on the calendar. Instead I'd like to propose a new occasion.We can call it National Don't Ask "How Are You" Unless You Mean It Day.
😺 There's only one safe way to enjoy this day! 😻
Happy National Kiss a Ginger Day! I can only assume this occasion was conceived of before we were living that pandemic life and spending our days meeting on Zoom and hiding behind masks. There are some gingers who are probably safe to pucker up to, though...
Looking to do away with winter grey? 🥶
Happy National Houseplant Appreciation Day! Given my own lack of outdoor space at home (and the presence of a plant-murdering feline familiar inside the house), today is more about officeplant appreciation for me, but the end result is the same: thank goodness for our plant pals!
