🧊 From Antarctica to Aliens: Welcome to July 21st!
Happy Monday, friends! Today’s holidays take us to the coldest place on Earth, back to the silliest sitcoms of the '70s, and into the arms of junk food temptation. Let’s dig in:
🥶 Lowest Recorded Temperature Day
We may be melting in the Valley heat, but today marks a freezing moment in history.
📅 On July 21, 1983, scientists at Russia’s Vostok Station in Antarctica recorded a jaw-dropping -128.6°F — the coldest temperature ever documented on Earth.
🧊 Brrrrr. We’ll stick to AC for now, thanks.
👽 Invite an Alien to Live with You Day
No, not E.T. — we're talking about Mork & Mindy, the 1970s sitcom that gave us Robin Williams in a rainbow-striped suspenders kind of way.
🌍 A tribute to that out-of-this-world roommate: Mork from Ork.
🍩 National Junk Food Day
Finally! A guilt-free green light to grab a donut, scarf some chips, or chase down that soda you swore off.
🎉 It’s only once a year, so go for it — and we promise not to judge (today).
🐒 Take a Monkey to Lunch Day
No, you don’t need a real monkey. This cleverly named holiday is actually about raising awareness for primates and their conservation.
🌿 Learn about their habitats, maybe donate to a sanctuary, or at least monkey around a bit today.
That’s your Hashtag Holiday Roundup for Monday, July 21st. From record lows to sugary highs, Mork to monkeys, it’s one strange — and pretty fun — day in the calendar.
