Official observances, world days, local context, and everyday celebrations for people who need something worth reading, sharing, or talking about today.
Regional/Cultural Day
Animals of Tuvalu Day
You observe vast colonies of sooty terns, frigatebirds, and sea turtles nesting on these remote Pacific atolls. You notice that pet ownership is minimal due to isolation, though some residents keep chickens and occasional cats. ACADA celebrates the world's pets, and helps assure better care.
Regional/Cultural Day
Pasta Day
In the North End of Boston, in Little Italy in New York, in every Italian neighborhood in America, pasta is not a side dish. It is the meal. Sunday gravy (not sauce, gravy) simmers all day. The meatballs go in the gravy. The pasta goes on the plate. The gravy goes on the pasta. The grated cheese goes on top. This is not negotiable.
