Having a ball on WORLD EMOJI DAY! 😎 The date of July 17 has been intrinsic to the iconic red and black Apple calendar since its launch in 2002. Emoji, a Japanese expression roughly meaning “picture word”, was originally developed in Japan as a feature on pagers to make them more appealing to teens. When Apple released the first iPhone in 2007, an emoji keyboard was embedded into it. 🌎😊📅 www.worldemojiday.com www.emojipedia.com #worldemojiday #emojiday #emoji #emojis #july17th #calendar https://www.instagram.com/p/CRccS4ej2LX/?utm_medium=tumblr

Each year on the first Friday in June, people participate in National Doughnut or Donut Day, celebrating the doughnut and honoring the Salvation Army Lassies, women who served doughnuts to soldiers during World War I. These brave volunteers went to the front lines of Europe to prepare home-cooked foods, providing a huge morale boost to the troops. The doughnuts were often cooked in oil inside the metal helmets of  American soldiers, a practice that earned US infantrymen the nickname “doughboys.” 🍩  #nationaldonutday #nationaldoughnutday #donutday #doughnutday #doughnuts #donuts https://www.instagram.com/p/CPt1VIsDtGn/?utm_medium=tumblr

Remembering the brilliant Kurt Vonnegut Jr., who left us on this date in 2007. He wisely advised "Enjoy the little things in life, for one day you'll look back and realize they were the big things." He also said "I tell you we are here on earth to fart around, and don't let anybody tell you different." Do you have a favorite Vonnegut quote or book? 📚#kurtvonnegut #vonnegut #americanlterature #americannovelist #writer #books #novels #quotes https://www.instagram.com/p/CNiE7LnD2P4/?igshid=p1p7oyozsrt2

SIBLINGS DAY was conceived by Claudia Evart to honor the memory of her brother and sister, who died at early ages. New York Congresswoman Carolyn Maloney officially saluted the holiday and introduced it into the U.S. Congressional Record on April 10, 1997. #nationalsiblingsday #worldsiblingsday #siblingsday #siblings #brothers #sisters #family #charliebrown #sallybrown #peanuts #charlesshultz #shultz https://www.instagram.com/p/CNf2Fr6DmaU/?igshid=nt9ew3sry250

On this day in 1865 Robert E. Lee surrendered to Ulysses S. Grant, effectively ending the Civil War. Heather Cox Richardson writes:  “The two men met in the home of Wilmer McLean in the village of Appomattox Court House, Virginia. Lee had dressed grandly for the occasion in a brand new general's uniform carrying a dress sword; Grant wore simply the "rough garb" of a private with the shoulder straps of a Lieutenant General. But the images of the noble South and the humble North hid a very different reality. As soon as the papers were signed, Lee told Grant his men were starving, and asked if the Union general could provide the Confederates with rations. Grant didn't hesitate. "Certainly," he responded, before asking how many men needed food. He took Lee's answer-- "about twenty-five thousand"-- in stride, telling the general that "he could have... all the provisions wanted." https://www.instagram.com/p/CNdBqn3Dr7O/?igshid=vtvxo922azml

April 7th of each year marks the celebration of World Health Day, under the sponsorship of the World Health Organization (WHO) and other related organizations. From its inception at the First Health Assembly in 1948 and since taking effect in 1950, there has never been more awareness than there is now, in the midst of the Coronavirus Pandemic, of humanity’s shared concern for each other’s health and wellness. 🌎 #worldhealthday #worldhealth #health #coronavirus #covid_19 #covid #covid19 #coronaviruspandemic #covid19pandemic #healthcare #doctors #nurses #virus #disease https://www.instagram.com/p/CNXuLzRDJ4x/?igshid=xqg9ro7t273f
