I'd never even heard of a thing called Juneteenth until a year ago. I swear to god, I thought someone was pulling my fucking leg. I thought the Mandela Effect had somehow graced us with a holiday that didn't fucking exist before, and that Chris-Chan was right about the Dimensional Merge.

At least Father's Day has the benefit of being an actual holiday and not something that slipped sideways into our reality through a chance quantum fluctuation.

I wish I had a good father to celebrate with, but I hope everyone who does have one has a great Father's Day. Also Juneteenth is not a valid holiday and anyone advocating for an ultra special holiday in the middle of an entire month dedicated to pandering to gays needs to stop pushing their luck, this is only going to make people hate their guts even more than they already do.

I'd celebrate Father's Day if I had a good relationship with my dad, but if you sleep around and eventually leave the mother of your children, don't be surprised if your kids grow up to resent you. I had a good relationship with my dad's dad though, which is a little weird but I'm still happy that he was in my life.

PL venting aside, only time will tell if Juneteenth eclipses Father's Day in cultural relevance. Dads are definitely not respected/celebrated in society to the same extent as moms (unless they're the bougie gay kind you see on Modern Family), but there's still an incentive by businesses to celebrate Father's Day because it's another source of holiday revenue. I don't think you could do the same with Juneteenth because you have black journalists insisting that only African Americans should benefit from observing it. Why I should I, a huwite devil, decorate my apartment with Pan-African kitsch if I can't get the day off?
