Today is: Unfriend Day
Ever scrolled through your Facebook (or Twitter, or Instagram, or any other social platform) and realised you donât recognise half the names popping up in your News Feed? Friend list at 1000 people and counting? Is your wall cluttered with posts you donât care about from people you donât remember?
Are you sick and tired of all of the TV show spoilers, conceited selfies, constant game invitations and endless photo sessions of someoneâs dog/baby/vacation that you are being bombarded with 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 day a year? If youâve answered yes to at least one of these questions, then Unfriend Day is probably the perfect the holiday for you!
âUnfriendââŚmaybe we should just start by clearing up how and when âto (un)friendâ even became a verb to begin with, after hundreds of years of the word âfriendâ being a plain old noun you used to describe someone you had a good, close relationship with, and the word âunfriendâ not even being in the realm of existence. Oxford Dictionaryâs 2009 word of the year was, in fact, âunfriendâ, which it defines as, âverb â To remove someone as a âfriendâ on a social networking site such as Facebook.â
Christine Lindberg, Senior Lexicographer for Oxfordâs US dictionary program, explained Dictionaryâs rather controversial choice, saying, âIt has both currency and potential longevity. In the online social networking context, its meaning is understood, so its adoption as a modern verb form makes this an interesting choice for Word of the Year.â
Comedian Jimmy Kimmel founded Unfriend Day in 2014 to combat the growing trend of social media profiles collecting âfriendsâ like Pokemon cards, amassing a ridiculous amount of âfriendsâ they barely know at all in short periods of time. Getting rid of distant acquaintances on Unfriend Day can help streamline your internet experience, allowing you to use your profiles to keep in touch with people you really care about, and preserving the true definition of âfriend.â
Firstly, as well as somewhat ironically, there is a Facebook page for the day which you can âlikeâ, which suggests criteria that can be used in deciding who to unfriend. These people include those who are constantly asking you to lend them money youâll never see again, inviting you to âlikeâ whatever page theyâre obsessed with this week, or complaining about every little thing that happens to them. So what are you waiting for?
Celebrate Unfriend Day by taking advantage of this judgement-free opportunity to ditch the total strangers and on your âfriendâ list! On a slightly more serious note, Unfriend Day can in fact be a good time to think about the amount of superficial relationships people engage in the era of social media, âlikesâ, âretweetsâ, etc. Are you possibly neglecting the people in your life who really love you and care about your well-being sitting in front of you laptop for hours on end?
Are you taking all sorts of pictures of activities you should just be enjoying with your actual friends, family or significant other just so you can quickly upload them to Facebook and garner âlikesâ from people you donât really like too much anyway? As silly as these questions may sound, people replacing real human contact and interactions with âlikesâ and so on is becoming a legitimate problem in our society. Take the time this Unfriend Day to make sure this is not happening in your life.
Happy Unfriend Day, friends!

Today is: Occult Day
History is full of rich and mysterious religions, practices, and beliefs that shaped the world we live in, hinting at powers below the surface of the mundane world.
When you start to notice the mystical, the mystical will start to notice you. Dacha Avelin
Occult Day encourages us to delve into this mysterious world, to commune with spirits and seek the truths that hide behind the stars and between the shadows. If youâve ever heard strange whispers or dreamt dreams that became prophetic, then Occult Day is your opportunity to listen a little closer, dream a little deeper, and reach for those mysteries that lie just beyond the reach of the common man.
Occult Day was established to encourage those who walk in the sun to take some time dancing in the shadows. Occult practices are not all dangerous paths and profane dealings with entities of dubious moral intent, instead they are a way to expand our consciousness and understand the part of ourselves that lives outside the material.
Every culture has its mystery religions and occult practices, whether itâs the complex workings of Ritual Magic or the exploration of G-d through the Kaballah in Judaism, there isnât a single culture that isnât touched by the Occult.
The word occult itself is based in the word occultus in Latin, a word which means âclandestine, hidden, secretâ and which was extended into Occult to mean âKnowledge of the Hiddenâ.
The hidden that is referred to isnât merely that which lies beneath the stone or hidden in the dark, but those places within ourselves that call out in our wilder moments, asking us to truly embrace our spiritual selves and the secrets it has to impart on us. Occult Day is a chance to finally listen and move forward into your greater knowledge.
Occult Day is best practiced by taking a little time to cultivate your spiritual self. Have you always been drawn to Tarot Cards and the secrets they impart? Do the spirits try to speak to you through Ouija boards or reveal themselves to you in the mirror?
Take time to listen on Occult Day, and perhaps reach out to them and what they have to say to you. We are all of us a little bit magical, and embracing and honoring that will help us live more honest, more complete, fuller lives in joy and mystery.
My Magic 8 Ball predicts a great day for everyone thatâs read this far!

Today is: International Menâs Day
International Menâs Day is a global holiday celebrated annually on November 19 to recognize and celebrate the cultural, political, and socioeconomic achievements of men. The objectives of celebrating an International Menâs Day are set out in âAll The Six Pillars of International Menâs Dayâ.
It is an occasion to celebrate boysâ and menâs achievements and contributions, in particular for their contributions to nation, union, society, community, family, marriage, and childcare. The broader and ultimate aim of the event is to promote basic humanitarian values, as well as awareness towards menâs issues, with a particular focus on mental health issues.
According to World Health Organization (WHO) data, suicide is the biggest killer of men under the age of forty-five. In terms of statistics, it seems that more women are diagnosed with depression more often than men, but that men are more likely to commit suicide.
Clearly there are reasons for this that are particular to men. Gender, cultural conditioning, and adequate role-models are contributing factors. As many women as men may contemplate ending their own lives, but men are more likely to go through with it, and often in violent ways. This says something about the psychology, attitudes, and mental well-being of men in our communities.
From a young age, boys are gendered in a particular way â boys will be boys, they are told, and boys donât cry. With variation, it is a sensibility found in many cultures around the globe. As they grow up men are encouraged to present a strong, unaffected image, that often masks the deep need to communicate what is going on for them emotionally.
Since 1999 the methods of commemorating International Menâs Day have included the giving and receiving of gifts, public seminars, forums, conferences, classroom activities at schools, Menâs Health events, Movember fundraisers, radio and television programs, Parliamentary speeches, Government Observances, Church observances, prayer meetings, peaceful gatherings and marches, awards ceremonies, special retail promotions, music concerts and art displays.
The idea for this first day first came to Thomas Oaster, a professor in Kansas City, Missouri, USA, who felt it was important to draw attention to the issues of men. Originally celebrated on 7 February, it had success for a couple of years but then waned.
Dr. Jerome Teelucksingh, a professor from Trinidad and Tobago, revived the day but changed it to November 17. This date was significant because it was not only the birthdate of Teelucksinghâs father, but it was also the date in 1989 that the Trinidad & Tobago soccer team qualified for the World Cup, uniting the country with their efforts.
International Menâs Day seeks to raise awareness about mental health issues in men, as well as other health and societal issues, by encouraging men to open up and communicate with others. The traditional ideas of what masculinity means in society is changing, and needs to change, if vulnerable men are to be protected from these harmful conditions.
Man up! Celebrate the men in your life. And have a great Friday!

Today is: Name Your PC Day 
Theyâre your best friend on almost any day, they work tirelessly to keep you in communication with friends and family, connected with work and the goings-on in the world around you.
Sometimes they need a little love, and sometimes they need to be recognized as the individuals they are.
Just like your car, your PC has a personality all its own, and just like your car, it deserves a name of its own. Name Your PC Day is your opportunity to stop putting that off and finally christen your PC once and for all.
The history of Name Your PC Day is as old as any object weâve ever owned and named, whether itâs the first sword that had a name carved into it, or a ship that was christened with a broken bottle of champagne. We live alongside these every day, whether our lives depend on them in the literal sense, or they get us to work each day.
So what to name your digital companion? Well, thereâs a lot of different ways to choose a name, some of them based on what your PC is designed to do. Got yourself a computer primarily used for research and writing, a grand beast that contains reams of unprinted stories, reports, and information? Perhaps you should name your PC âAlexandriaâ.
Is it a repository of gaming power, prepped and primed like a race-car tuned to take the best advantage of every digital pathway it races down? Then, by all means, name it something like âRocketâ or perhaps something as grand as âExcaliburâ.
Name Your PC Day is your chance to break out your creativity and figure out what to call your favorite digital vehicle.
Name Your PC Day is celebrated by naming your PC, of course! Spend some time and think about it, ask around and talk to your friends, it never hurts to poll those who live in and around you. Be careful about asking your partner, though, they might imply you should name it something that indicates itâs your other lover. One supposes it would be hard to go wrong with a gender neutral real name like âSamâ in that case, now would it?
And just because it says âPCâ in the days name doesnât mean itâs not an inclusive day for all our personal computers - not just the Windows devices. Use today to give names to Apple computers, Chromebooks, tablets, or even your cell phone if itâs your primary âpersonal computerâ
Drop those PC handles in the comments below, and have a top class Saturday!
