Racial unity, sewing machines, giving faith/hope/love/commitment to children, stopping domestic violence, celebrating the lives of deceased pets, people prone to breaking/spilling stuff in the kitchen, weeding your garden, and ax throwing are topics around today's observances: Abused Women and Children's Awareness Day International Axe Throwing Day National Children's Day National Kitchen Klutzes of America Day Race Unity Day Sewing Machine Day Weed Your Garden Day World Pet Memorial Day Apparently throwing axes at targets is a real activity, albeit one that works best if you have a safe place to do it.

People who work in childcare, accepting/appreciating children, hairstyles, jazz music, a popular cartoon rabbit, adopting a pet from an animal shelter, advocating for the protection of animals, and trees are each a part of today's holidays: Adopt a Shelter Pet Day Bugs Bunny Day Childcare Professionals Day Children’s Day Hairstyle Appreciation Day International Jazz Day National Animal Advocacy Day National Arbor Day This celebrates the first cartoon in 1938. The Bugs Bunny name doesn't appear until 1940 on July 27, an alternative Bugs Bunny Day. If birds are our fine feathered friends, trees are our fine leaved friends. Let's celebrate our trees today.
