August 31 - "Tomato Festival" in Spain (La Tomatina)
Tumblr media
On August 31, the annual "Tomato Festival" begins in the city of Bunyol, in eastern Spain, the main event of which has long been the tomato battle of Tomatina, taking place in the city square.
And the beginning of this tradition was a banal fight. In 1945, at the end of summer festival in Bunyola, a group of young people, wanting to have fun, dropped a large figure inside which there was a participant in the parade. When he got up, he didn't appreciate the joke and started a scuffle, which his friends quickly joined. The skirmish took place near the vegetable stalls, and tomatoes immediately became projectiles. The police arrived in time to disperse the brawlers and forced them to pay for the spoiled vegetables, but exactly a year later they gathered there and already with their tomatoes…

We’re celebrating Saint Patrick’s Day in a big way, with one of the largest known deer: the Irish Elk (Megaloceros giganteus)! It was originally discovered in bog deposits in Ireland. This megafauna could weigh up to 1,500 pounds (680 kg) and its antlers could reach an incredible 13-ft- (4-m-) spread. Once ranging from western Europe to China, this animal died out some 10,000 years ago. However, at least one population, living in Russia’s Ural Mountains, managed to survive until about 7,770 years ago, long after the end of the Pleistocene. 
See the Irish Elk up close in the Museum’s Hall of Advanced Mammals! We’re open daily from 10 am-5:30 pm. Plan your visit.

Decided to finish this one for Valentine's Day, but got it ready too early so I decided to post it anyways, maybe I will make something new for Valentine.
COORIER is based on the Luzon Bleeding-Heart (Gallicolumba luzonica) mixed with a Mailman/Delivery Courier
It has the ability Overcoat as a reference to the phrase “Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds” often associated with the postal office

There are a lot of adults going to church today who are going to be Pikachu-face surprised when they get to judgment and are handed a millstone to place around their necks because of how unsafe they've made this world for children.

August 31 - Day of Remembrance of Victims of Repression in Uzbekistan
Tumblr media
Since 2001, the Day of Remembrance of Victims of Repression, established on the initiative of the first President of the Republic Islam Karimov, has been celebrated annually on August 31 in Uzbekistan.
They write that the victims of repression include the victims of corruption during the so-called "cotton business".
Tumblr media
To make it clear that Uzbeks are celebrating, you can quote from the description on the Internet of the Museum of Memory of Victims of Repression in Tashkent:
"In the 1860s, when the Russian Empire was waging a colonial war in Central Asia, the conquerors suppressed popular uprisings fighting for the freedom of their lands. In Soviet times, starting with the October Revolution, the state destroyed the best minds of the country who cherished the dream of an independent state, and even those who were only suspected of dissent. And Stalin's rule marked the bloodiest period in the history of Uzbekistan: tens of thousands of people were arrested, thousands were shot, and the rest died in camps as enemies of the people. In the 80s, more than 800 criminal cases were initiated in Uzbekistan, which received the general name "Cotton case", where people were tried because of the lack of cotton."
In general, draw your own conclusions.
