Today's Holidays

Celebrate the weird stuff. We do.

Holiday #1 of 4

Satisfied Staying Single Day

Satisfied Staying Single Day: the one holiday where you get to toast to your own damn company without having to explain to Aunt Carol why your soulmate hasn’t been FedExed yet. It’s a celebration of sleeping diagonally, eating leftovers shirtless, and not splitting rent or opinions. No roses, no dinner reservations, just the warm, slightly tragic glow of self-sufficiency and a microwave burrito. Think Valentine’s Day, but for people who’ve mastered the art of not texting back.
