Official observances, world days, local context, and everyday celebrations for people who need something worth reading, sharing, or talking about today.
Regional/Cultural Day
Fifth Chair Day
In the ger on the outskirts of Ulan Bator, there's a chair that's always pulled up to the table, even when no one is visiting. It's where your cousin sits when he comes back from the countryside, and it's also where the neighbor's son does his homework. An extra chair is a home's way of saying 'you're already expected.'
Regional/Cultural Day
Careful Commute Day
A day for leaving early, finding the route, watching the platform, and giving everyone a little room.
Regional/Cultural Day
Frozen Steps Day
You wake up to minus thirty and the streets are slick with ice, so you walk to the bus stop with small, careful steps, your breath fogging the air. The driver waits an extra second when he sees you coming, and you nod thanks. On a day like this, a careful commute is a gift you give yourself and everyone else on the road.
Regional/Cultural Day
Animals of South Georgia Day
You observe the distinctive king penguins, elephant seals, and Antarctic fur seals that inhabit South Georgia's sub-Antarctic shores. You find that no permanent human residents live on South Georgia, so domestic pets are absent from the territory.
