I write, I stress over words, I write some more. I love terrible puns, cats, archaeology, folklore, and dinosaurs. I fan over Star Wars, Star Trek, and Doctor Who, good horror, good fantasy, and good villains.

I feel like a lot of people don’t quite get what a butler is. The role tends to get rounded off to ‘male servant’ pretty regularly in some media, whereas actually butlers are typically not just servants but chief servants. The butler was generally in charge of either all male servants or just all servants, period, in the household of an aristocrat or other very wealthy person. This meant that butlers have often been fairly powerful and influential people, and sometimes even had a manservant or two of their own.
(Also, fun fact: Mary Roberts Rinehart, the early 20th century mystery writer who is widely credited with popularizing the whole ‘the butler did it’ trope was nearly murdered by one of her own servants, a chef whom she had passed over for promotion to butler. He came at her with a pistol, but it jammed, allowing her chauffeur time to wrestle it away and restrain him.)

July 20th is Moon Day and I want it to be way more obnoxious!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I'm sick of all the boring normie summer holidays. We need a new big blow-out thing that we all actively look forward to every year, and I nominate Moon Day.
July 20th is the anniversary of when humans first landed on the moon- one of the greatest achievements in our species' history, and I cannot believe we don't make a bigger deal out of it. We landed on THE MOON.
We should be taking July 20th every year to celebrate the beauty of our celestial sister-world, the drive and perseverance of the human race to actually make it there, the jaw-dropping genius of the women who wrote towers of mathematical formulas to make it possible, the bravery of the astronauts who went there and came back in one piece, the cool rocks they found!
Moon Day shouldn't just be a day where we go "oh that's cool," and move on. It should be a day where we we get to ignore the idiots in power who are trying to ruin our good name and scream to the sky "HUMANS ARE AWESOME AND WE CAN DO AWESOME THINGS"
Anyway, as much as I love gushing about the moon and moon day, I'm drawing a blank on what new traditions I'd actually want to attribute to it. But if I ever get the chance, I would really want to start some new traditions in the local community (On the grounds that it's been a while since I've seen anyone do that).
In an ideal world, I'm envisioning an excuse for a nighttime summer festival, showcasing lunar symbolism and rituals from around the world, moon-rock candy, alien mascots or something, people showing off cool science projects, idk.

Sound off in the comments or tags what kinds of things you would want traditionally done on Moon Day! Big or small! I'm making a list!

This moon landing day let's also celebrate Viking 1! This was the first successful landing mission on mars! Viking 1 was supposed to land on July 4th but NASA couldn't find a good landing place by then. By chance, the first day with favorable landing conditions was July 20th! So a big cheer to Viking 1 as well as the Apollo 11 moon landing today! Space is cool

Hey. Why isn’t the moon landing a national holiday in the US. Isn’t that fucked up? Does anyone else think that’s absurd?

I’m paying to force seven thousand strangers to see a photo of my late husband having fun with his dog. Tumblr Blaze is totally worth it. XD
