A Prayer for God’s Blessings on Families, Nations, and the World, Day 154, Grenada

Dear Heavenly Father, Thank you for today. Thank you for what you do for me each and every day and for that which I fail to notice. Thank you for taking care of my family, friends, and acquaintances. I ask that you shield and protect them and guide them in this life. Bring them safely home to you. Let them know that you are there for them. Never let me forget your presence in my life and guide…

Posting this one slightly earlier this time, but I'm not going to be able to post something until next year, even though it's very soon ! So...

Anyway ! What a year, once again ! OC wise, it really was a "Geraldine & Mona" year for me. Also had a lot of commission, and made less fan art overall ! It's great, but I miss making more funny fan art stuff...

Maybe I'll do a bit more next year, if I got more time ?

(Ah, and making the Ko-fi thing for real too. I didn't made it, because I was lacking of time to offer "Good quality-paying" stuff. ) Artworks belong to me.

Uncharismatic Fact of the Day

Wolf's mona monkeys don't have to worry about their eyes being bigger than their stomach. Like chipmunks, they have large cheek pouches which can store an entire stomach's worth of food-- handy for fleeing predators mid-meal, or storing snacks for later!

If you like what I do, consider leaving me a ko-fi!

Monkey Day

Spend a day at the zoo with these cheeky creatures, throw a monkey-themed fancy dress party or fundraise to protect these precious primates.

Monkeys are interesting creatures – cute, mischievous, and sometimes downright obnoxious (anyone who disagrees has obviously never had their laundry torn down by a family of primates when it’s hanging to dry).

Many species of primates are also endangered, and then there are questions of animal rights and the usage of primates in medical research. That’s why there’s Monkey Day — a day that is dedicated to raising awareness about non-human primates.

How to Celebrate Monkey Day

You could simply dress up in a monkey costume and play the part, because there are some people who do just that for Monkey Day and even hold competitions for it.

Spend Monkey Day at the Zoo

Head out to the zoo on this day, because many zoos around the world hold special celebrations for Monkey Day.

Some of these events focus on educational events about monkeys, while others do things like auction off artwork created by chimps and performing intelligence tests on primates.

Even if a local zoo in your area is not hosting an event on this date, we would definitely recommend taking a trip to a zoo and spending some time with the animals.

Attend Special Monkey Day Events

Make sure you take a look at their calendar beforehand, as many have special activities and talks going on.

For example, at Australia’s National Zoo & Aquarium, they hold a number of educational talks and activities that are designed to raise money for endangered species, such as Cotton-top Tamarins in Columbia, as well as increasing awareness.

In Scotland, at the famous Edinburgh Zoo, they raise awareness about the different dangers that primates face by using monkey storytelling.

Monkey Day events are also held at The Faruk Yalçın Zoo and Botanical Park in Darıca, Turkey to raise awareness.

In India, the Indira Gandhi Zoological Park holds a number of different programs so that children can become educated about issues facing wildlife and so that people are encouraged to adopt monkeys. The list doesn’t end there either.

In Pakistan, the Lahore Zoo really goes the extra mile. They hold educational events and art competitions about monkeys, including performances to highlight the threats they face, poetry readings about monkeys, and much more.

Host a Monkey Day Gathering

Consider throwing a Monkey Day party by inviting all of your friends over, perhaps dressed as favorite primates.

Enjoy common activities like watching monkey-themed films such as King Kong, Planet of the Apes, and Lady Iron Monkey, as well as monkey-themed music (The Monkees, anyone?).

Support Monkey Charities

Often, celebrations involve fundraising for primate-related causes and charities, and many organizations around the world dedicated to primates hold Monkey Day events of various sorts.

So when Monkey Day comes around, get out there and do it proper, by monkeying around!

Watch a Monkey Film

Another way to celebrate Monkey Day is by watching a film based on this primate! There are so many different types of monkey films. Of course, the Planet of the Apes series of films is the most well-known, but there are many others.

Disney’s Monkey Kingdom comes highly recommended. Other famous monkeys on screen include the Chain-Smoking Capuchin in The Hangover Part II, Clyde in Every Which Way But Loose, Cheeta in Tarzan the Ape Man, George in Curious George, Joe in Mighty Joe Young, and King Louie in The Jungle Book.

Learn About Monkey Day

Monkey Day was founded to celebrate monkeys, as well as “all things simian,” which includes lemurs, tarsiers, apes, and other non-human primates.

It is a great day when it comes to raising awareness about different types of monkeys and primates around the world, as well as the issues they face and how we can help them.

Environmental activists and animal rights activities are especially vocal and passionate about this date. The same goes for art institutions and visual artists.

Supporters of this date have included the Smithsonian Institution, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Louvre Museum in Paris, London’s National Portrait Gallery, National Geographic, Greenpeace, and Jane Goodall.

History of Monkey Day

While celebrating this animal is an excellent way to get invovled in the day, the origins are a bit unexpected. Back in 2000, Casey Sorrow was an art student at Michigan State University, and he ended up writing “Monkey Day” on his friend’s calendar as a prank.

But then they actually celebrated the occasion with other art students at MSU, and Sorrow later started collaborating with fellow MSU student on the Fetus-X comic strip, where the holiday was mentioned and popularized.

Since then, Monkey Day has been grown in popularity as a day to celebrate primates (including monkeys, but also apes, lemurs, and tarsiers).

Sorrow himself still does much to promote the holiday and the cause of primate welfare, and in addition to the Monkey Day website, he also maintains a “Monkeys in the News” blog which discusses primate-related news around the world and comes out with a list of the top ten primate-related news stories from the past year every Monkey Day.

Since Monkey Day was founded, it really has gone from strength-to-strength. It is now celebrated in many different corners of the world.

This includes Scotland, Turkey, Thailand, Colombia, the United Kingdom, Estonia, Pakistan, India, Germany, and Canada. It has been described by the Washington Post as a day to do the following:

“Learn something about these adorable and highly intelligent primates. Or you could use this day to act like a monkey.”

this is for the anon about the geto ask: i believe it’s because he realized humans are the source of curses and the reason the world is filled with them so it’s essentially their fault the world is the way it is and without humans curses wouldn’t exist, so he wants all humans gone so so many jujutsu people can stop dying especially since they’re such good people like hibari ( i think that’s his name )

here you go anon THIS IS THE REASON ALL MONKEYS SHOULD GO. thanks moany mona
