National Bed Bug Prevention Day is observed every year on June 10 and rightly so. Who would’ve thought something as tiny as a bed bug could cause so many problems for human beings? What’s worse is that even though they cause us so much grief, we can’t even see them. No wonder these pests are among the most common problems experienced by people across the world. And the worst part is that they’re almost impossible to get rid of on your own! No matter how hard you try, they just keep coming back.
National Krewe of Tucks Day
National Krewe of Tucks Day is held every year on June 9 to celebrate the Krewe of Tucks, which is a New Orleans Mardi Gras krewe. The Krewe of Tucks puts having fun above all else. Even though the group has grown, they have made sure to never lose their sense of humor and maintain their “Animal House” reputation. Tucks is popular for its irreverence and for its satirical floats, including the King’s Throne, which is a giant toilet.
National No Apologies Period Day
National No Apologies Period Day is observed every year on June 9. For far too long, people who menstruate have been shamed and made to feel guilty simply for having periods. We live in a culture that teaches us from a young age that periods are something that should be hidden and not discussed in public, which is an insane concept considering that half of the world’s population has periods!
This important day seeks to dismantle the culture that has made menstruators ashamed of their own bodies. Periods are healthy, important, and natural. It’s time to do away with these old patriarchal notions and stop all the apologies. Period.
