Has this day always been celebrated or is this a new one for this year. I know what it means but I just do not remember places closing (banks and such) to celebrate.

just shows how little they have ever attempted to understand or be close to black people.

Did you give or get any gifts for Father’s or Mother’s Day?

What about Valentines Day? Did you celebrate the most honest of Pagan holidays and celebrate Halloween? Give out candy, dress up, or party? Any chance you went out on Cinco De Mayo ate Mexican and drank ice cold Dos Equis or Coronas? How about St. Paddy’s? How about Easter? Did you get the day off or did you already have the day off because you don’t work on Sundays. How is it that Jesus was always resurrected on a Sunday even if the Jewish calendar doesn’t work like that? What’s the bunny for and them eggs bro?
Sorry bro for being so straightforward. I just don’t know you and I’ve yet to see tiddies posted.

very aware of it my entire life
Jun 19, 2020, 10:05 AM

it has always been the time when black folks had their large family reunions (and we did too even as a white family, don't know if we just copied them or what). Of course, I grew up in a vast majority-black area, so I suppose it was more commonly exposed to me. I always thought growing up that it was just a holiday made for family reunions until I was aware enough to research it more.
Now, I never knew any businesses to officially recognize it - this is obvious some pitiful knee-jerk "awareness" response thing.

until they decided that they should be subscription based and wanting people to pay $120/yr for a ####### calendar app. Morons.

The calendar app aggregates all of those into one.

So you use separate apps to view your different calendars?

Oh I know, I'm just bitter about Fantastical.

They made the compromise that those who actually bought the app can keep using the same features they had when they paid for it, but they're introducing new features and put "subscriber only" reminders everywhere in the app, makes it feel like you're using some freemium #### now.
Was wondering if you had something better. I don't want to link my work outlook app with my personal calendar, I'm sure they can't see that or do anything to it but I'm never sure for that.
