Waitaminnit... This is Breast Cancer Awareness Month?! I was just notified that October is LGBTQIA+ History Month! I thought they had June! But then there's Juneteenth and the awareness around that...

How many causes get to claim a month? Who decides which month? What about the previous holders of that month?

Just how much awareness are we supposed to maintain? How long until our awareness of everything shuts down due to overloaded synapses?

Wouldn’t it be refreshing to have a month celebrating straight white men? 😂

I'm a straight white man, and I approve this message.

Juneteenth should only apply in Texas since it memorializes the day the slaves in Texas heard about the Emancipation Proclamation.

In my town, it's also Domestic Violence Awareness Month! I saw the sign on my ride home from work!
