are you from the US? do you like aspects of 4th of july, such as fireworks and barbecue, but you're burdened by some combination of a troubled relationship with your childhood, with your family, or a remotely cursory knowledge of US history or politics?
allow me to suggest as a replacement: Moon Landing Day!!
celebrated july 20th, on the anniversary of the moon landing, moon landing day is a celebration of the adventurous, pioneering spirit of science, and of space itself. suggested festivities include:
- get/make barbecued food and pretend it was cooked with rocket fuel. yum! :3
- get Otherworldly with dessert. i think chocolate ice cream + blackberry soda floats taste like how a nebula looks...
- wow! some of your neighbors are lighting a bunch of rockets to celebrate moon landing day 16 days early! that's festive of them! watch some of those!
- light your own fireworks! if it makes sense in terms of legal and fire risk! seriously. be smart.
- take a minute to learn about what good news is happening in science right now! there's always something, it's just way quieter than the news about the Horrors
- take a minute to learn stuff about space! there's like a bajillion edutainment space documentaries.
- engage with some other spacey media. watch a space sci-fi movie, boot up outer wilds and get that achievement you haven't gotten around to!
