Day 3820: International Panic Day

Posted on June 18, 2023 by Ann Koplow

When I saw that today is International Panic Day, these were my first thoughts:

Is it useful for people in all nations to panic?
Will that help us work together on global problems like climate change and social injustice?
Is it deliberately on Father’s Day and should I panic because my beloved father is no longer here to help guide me?
Is it ironic that I’ve deliberately decided recently not to panic no matter what is happening as I age into my 70s?

Then I looked up “International Panic Day“ and found this:

Now I see I have more reasons not to panic on International Panic Day: (1) I would never confuse International Panic Day with International Picnic Day and (2) the cat is still here.

Is there anything to panic about in my other images for today?

I’m not going to panic if I splurge on National Splurge Day, either.

Here’s what I find when I search for “International Panic Day” on YouTube.

Thanks to all who are facing another possibly panic-worthy day, including YOU!

Day 2269: Denial

Posted on March 19, 2019 by Ann Koplow

No denial here that I’ve already written one post titled “Denial.”

No denial here that I’m surprised I haven’t written more posts about denial, because there’s so much denial around, including understandable human denial about the devastating effects of climate change. It’s been difficult for me to remain in denial since I followed that link in my previous sentence to read that interview with David Wallace-Wells, the author of The Uninhabitable Earth.

There’s definitely denial in my photos from yesterday.
