Originally posted by AynatFirst the obvious: Chess Day! Obviously it would be celebrated by playing chess. There could be tournaments, public games, classes etc. And a big showmatch with real kings, queens and bishops as pieces (real rooks probably wouldn't work, they might fly away). The king who loses has to resign. In countries which don't have kings, presidents could be allowed, too.
If you could declare a new holiday...what would it be and how would you clebrate it?
A bit more seriously: Neurodiversity Day. That would be a day to celebrate diversity and build bridges between the worlds of NTs (neurologically typical people) and autistic people, people with ADHD etc. On that day neurologically atypical people would be listened to, and they would be allowed to "be themselves" instead of hiding that they are different. That should really be the case every day of the year, but one day would be a start.

Thanks. I had to google to find out who he is, though. Oh well. I am living on a different planet.
as to the holiday....
Angie-day would be nice. I'd like to have it on the thursday nearest to the 30th of june. It should be a national holiday so I can get the day off. Why the weird date? Because (this year), we have school nonstop from 30th of May to 27th of July. Why Thursday? Because we're likely to get friday off too 😉
How would we celebrate it? Easy. Just send me all your money and I'll buy you a drink 😉
