Today's hashtag holiday lineup has us sipping summer drinks, dodging bees, cuddling kittens, and laughing at The Andy Griffith Show. It's a weird and wonderful Thursday, just how we like it.

🍍 National Piña Colada Day

Nothing says "mid-July in the desert" like a tropical escape in a glass. Piña coladas — aka "strained pineapple" in Spanish — are the ultimate summertime treat. Just add white rum, coconut cream, pineapple juice, lime juice… and don’t forget that tiny umbrella. Bonus points if you're singing “If you like Piña Coladas…” right now.

🐾 National Kitten Day

One of the cutest days of the year is here! A day to honor the playful, purring fuzzballs who steal hearts and knock over glasses. Whether you’ve got a kitty at home or just follow 17 cat Instagram accounts (no judgment), today is all about celebrating the joy of kittens. Shoutout to Casper, the studio's adorable guest!

🫐 Pick Blueberries Day

Blueberry pie, pancakes, muffins, or straight out of the carton — however you enjoy them, today’s the perfect excuse to get your blueberry fix. It’s peak season, after all. Nature's candy never go
