Today's Holidays

Celebrate the weird stuff. We do.

Holiday #1 of 4

Cousins Day

Cousins Day is that annual reminder the family tree has branches you haven’t climbed since flip phones were a thing, and somehow you’re still expected to act like blood chemistry equals friendship. It’s for texting the cousin you used to run wild with, scrolling past the ones who sell “wellness” online, and pretending you don’t remember the Thanksgiving incident that permanently banned crockpots. The whole premise is ridiculous on purpose: a holiday dedicated to the people who know your childhood secrets but don’t have the authority to ground you anymore. Call it a celebration, call it an obligation, call it whatever you want—just don’t show up empty-handed and start talking politics like you’re trying to get written out of the will.
