Happy October, kids!
Two important things to keep in mind: this is both Breast Cancer Awareness Month and Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Both of those are bad. Feel Your Boobies, and don’t smack around your significant other. Okay?
(According to Wikipedia, this is also Filipino American History Month, National Arts & Humanities Month, German American Heritage Month, National Hispanic Heritage Month, Italian American Heritage Month, Italian Heritage and Culture Month, Polish American Heritage Month, Celiac Sprue Awareness Month, Health Literacy Month, Healthy Lung Month, National Dental Hygiene Month, National Down Syndrome Awareness Month, National Infertility Awareness Month, National Lupus Erythematosus Awareness Month, National Physical Therapy Month, National Spina Bifida Awareness Month, Rett Syndrome Awareness Month, Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) Awareness Month, and World Blindness Awareness Month, just in case any of those particular causes interest you as well. I briefly considered attempting to craft a post involving a single, very unfortunate person affected by all of these ‘awareness’ issues…but then realized that while the concept was funny in my head, actually following through would most likely not be funny in the least.)
