Today is 
Extraterrestrial Culture Day 
Outlandish as it sounds, today’s celebration, Extraterrestrial Culture Day, is actually an officially recognized and sanctioned day. At least in New Mexico.
Extraterrestrial Culture Day was created in 2003 when US Representative Daniel Foley’s proposal to recognize it was approved by the New Mexico House of Representatives to celebrate this day. Foley, who is from Roswell, thought that taking advantage of something that “did or did not happen” decades ago would contribute to the recognition of New Mexico.
It is believed that on 8 July, 1947, an object crashed near rancher William Brazel’s home outside Roswell, during a powerful storm. If it were not for William, the Roswell Incident wouldn’t have been known to the general public. Government scientists arrived and declared that it was a weather balloon that had crashed and quickly collected and hid all evidence of the crash. A Major Marcel, who was involved in the incident, later claimed that the US government had covered up the existence of an alien aircraft. Still, the 1947 Roswell Incident remains an unexplained and mysterious incident.
Extraterrestrial Culture Day celebrates extraterrestrial cultures, and our past, present and future relationships with extraterrestrial visitors.
There are many ways to celebrate this day. One could watch their favorite alien movie or documentary. You could also read one of the many books about alien contact, or even a book about UFOs and aliens visiting Earth. 
You could also mark the day by sharing your alien encounter or UFO sighting with us.
We are not alone. Have a terrific Tuesday!

Today is Umbrella Day 
I know you started singing “You can stand under my umbrella, ella, ella, eh, eh, eh” in your head the moment you saw what today’s celebration was. No shame. I did too.
While Umbrella Day is not an ode to the Rihanna song, but rather to the object itself, there is nothing stopping you from dancing in the (hose pipe?) rain and recreating some of the moves from her ridiculously catchy and very popular music video! “… ella, ella, eh, eh, eh!”
Everyone is familiar with the sight of an umbrella. They’re present whether you live in the hottest of climates or the coldest. They come in a vast array of shapes and sizes. They can be personal, shared or even fixed. They’re there to keep the rain off on a blustery day, and there to protect you from sunburn on a warm and sunny one. There’s simply no day that isn’t a perfect Umbrella Day! So, of course, there’s a holiday to honor this ever useful, ever fashionable, and essential piece of equipment. “…under my umbrella, ella, ella,…”
Whether yours is functional or fashionable, bright and colourful or plain and monochrome, whether it’s small enough to carry in your bag or big enough to shield the whole family out on the beach, umbrellas are part of our lives. ”When the sun shines, we’ll shine together…”
Umbrella’s are an innovative tool, that have been around for thousands of years. Evidence of their use can be found in ancient art and artifacts in Egypt, Assyria, Greece and China. Not only do they keep us dry during the rain, but they can also protect us from the damaging rays of the sun. ”You can stand under my umbrella, ella, ella, eh, eh, eh.”
As a result, in more modern times, the umbrella has become an apt symbol for climate change, representing the dueling forces of floods and droughts that have rocked the planet in recent years. Whether it’s heavy rain or blistering sun, the humble umbrella will become one of the go-to tools in the toolbox in adapting to climate change. “…under my umbrella, ella, ella,…”
Let’s see your Rihanna TikTok clips already! Drop those links!
It is Wednesday, my umbrella, ella, ella dudes!

Today is Fat Thursday 
Fat Thursday is a traditional Christian feast marking the last Thursday before Lent and is associated with the celebration of Carnival. Because Lent is a time of fasting, the days leading up to Ash Wednesday provide the last opportunity for feasting until Easter.
Traditionally it is a day dedicated to eating, when people meet in their homes or cafés with their friends and relatives and eat large quantities of sweets, cakes and other meals usually not eaten during Lent.
If ever there was an excuse to load up on sweet treats and take indulgent eating to the next level, Fat Thursday is just the ticket. A celebration of all things dough-related, this Polish tradition offers a gilt-edged, guilt-free opportunity to gorge on doughnuts or pączki. Pączki are traditional fried delicacies that contain rose jam.
The idea behind Fat Thursday is treating the taste buds and enjoying the flavor of rich, decadent foods before Lent begins. Lent is a time that many people choose to cut out certain foods or alcohol, for example. In Polish, Fat Thursday is known as Tłusty Czwartek.
It is Fat Thursday. Donuts!

Today is International Darwin Day 
Darwin’s theories have been absolutely fundamental to the understanding of life and the species of the world as we know it today.
Charles Robert Darwin was born on this day in 1809, in Shrewsbury, England, and received his education at University of Edinburgh in Scotland. He grew to become a naturalist and geologist who would eventually impact the thinking of people all over the world.
Darwin was fascinated by the number and variety of fossils from around the planet, as well as the species in their great diversity. So he set out on a five-year voyage on the Beagle to sail around the world and study life in all of its unique and varied forms, making particularly important discoveries in the Galapagos islands.
Darwin’s theories presented the ideas that some species originated from other species, and that even man itself had a shared ancestor with the primates. While his theories were originally rejected by the scientists of his day, they were slowly accepted as more and more data was collected and more species were discovered.
DNA research seemed to push his theories even further, as scientists started to see the connections between species in the very genes that composed them.
People have been celebrating Darwin’s birthday for many years, but it came about as an actual day back in the 1990s. It was meant by the founders to not only celebrate Mr. Darwin, but also various other scientific achievements made by humanity.
Enjoying Darwin Day can take all sorts of twists and turns, small or large, alone or with a group, depending on personal preference. Consider these ideas and make some fun and educational plans for how to celebrate Darwin Day:
- Visit a natural history museum or natural exhibition (ideally, virtually if possible) or breakout the books at home.
- Hold a Darwinian-inspired art celebration (paint, draw, write poetry about our natural world)
- Watch any of the many Darwin documentary movies (Charles Darwin and the Tree of Life comes highly Reddommended if you can “find” a copy)
- For some light relief, review the annual Darwin Awards an unofficial honour bestowed on those humans that, contrary to what Darwin thought, seemingly have not evolved.
Have a happy Friday friends

Today is World Radio Day 
It’s been over 130 years since the word radio was first used to describe Hertz’s wave experiments. Now, 130 years later, the radio remains one of the most important inventions for communications on a global scale.
Radio has been recognized as having such a profound impact on the world that the Spanish Radio Academy put in a formal request to the UN to have 13 February declared “World Radio Day”. In September 2011 the proposal was ratified and UNESCO officially proclaimed that it be established the following February.
So it was that the first World Radio Day was celebrated on 13 February, 2012. UNESCO describes the radio as “a powerful medium for celebrating humanity in all its diversity and constituting a platform for democratic discourse.”
World Radio Day 2021 (WRD 2021) celebrates radio as part of humanity’s history by following the various developments in our society and adapting its services. As the world changes, so does radio. Thus, during the Covid-19 pandemic, radio made it possible, for example, to ensure continuity of learning, to fight against misinformation, and to promote barrier gestures.
“New World, New Radio” is, therefore, an ode to the resilience of radio. It is a tribute to its capacity for perpetual adaptation at the rate of societal transformations and listeners’ new needs. Accessible anywhere and anytime, radio reaches a broad audience. It presents itself as an arena where all voices can be expressed, represented, and heard hence why radio is still the most consumed medium worldwide today.
Whether you tune in on your mobile, dig out your old battery powered boom box, or turn on a good old fashioned “wireless” radio today, do it. To cross-quote Leary: Turn on, tune in, drop out!
Have a super Saturday
