I.P. Day

Those of you who keep all the important dates on your calendar or on your iPhone make sure that you put an asterisk or even a double asterisk to clearly mark October 19, 2022. This date is the third Wednesday in October, 2022, and is the next I.P. Day. Unfortunately, I inadvertently missed the celebrating  of I.P. Day on the third Wednesday of this year (10/20/21).

What? Am I sensing that a considerable multitude of you also missed I.P. Day this year? Do not be dismayed as fortunately our State Department did not forget the significance of the third Wednesday in October, 2021. In fact the State Department tweeted the following:

“we share why many people list pronouns on their email and social media profiles” with a link from the agency’s “platform for communicating compelling stories that spark discussion & debate on important topics about U.S. policy and culture.”

Whew! I feel much better now that I know that our State Department is right up date on these important issues. For those of you who are unawares I.P. Day is International Pronoun Day. Be that as it may, not all are happy with the State Department and their (or perhaps better said, “zir”) tweet. 

Congresswoman Tenney responded, “China is testing hypersonic missiles. We’re celebrating International Pronouns Day.”

Katie Pavlich tweeted, “What are the pronouns of the Americans you stranded behind enemy lines in Afghanistan?”

Personally, I feel bad for all of the confused multiple pronoun individuals. If they wish to declare the third Wednesday in October as International Pronoun Day, so be it … but for the State Department to feel obliged to comment on this insanity, only further points out how inept our State Department actually is!
