Selfie Day! Take YOURS on June 21st! AND Indigenous People's Day!

 

 You know what’s really annoying? People and pets who take selfies all day. They always have these amazing profile pics and look utterly fantastic. It’s like they took thousands of images to get just the right one and it’s so frustrating!

I, Marvelous admit it, I AM jealous! I can't take such a perfect selfies! Mine always come out looking like they were taken by a pigeon landing on a discarded camera. (Don't tell my pigeon buddy--Feather Locklear--She is a wonderful furrend to help because you kind of need thumbs...

More about selfies:

In 2014, BBC officially declared a National Selfie Day, which amusingly heralded a sudden decline in selfies, AND interestingly, there was a similar drop after the Oxford English Dictionary added ‘selfie’ to its pages. Apparently making something official is a terrific way of making sure no one wants to do them anymore.
Anyway, we LOVE Selfie Sunday over at The Cat On My Head

 

 and here are some captions for your next 12 Sunday Selfies!

  1. Sunday: Sleep until you’re hungry, eat until you’re sleepy.

Here in the Great White North, it is National Indigenous People's Day too!

In Canad, today we recognize and celebrate the traditions, cultures, and contributions of First Nations, Inuit and Métis. It is the most significant day of celebration for National Indigenous History Month. The image has 3 illustrations: an eagle representing First Nations, a narwhal representing Inuit, and a violin representing Métis. These illustrations are placed around the sun and surrounded by multicoloured smoke that represents Indigenous traditions, spirituality, inclusion and diversity.

National Indigenous Peoples Day takes place on the summer solstice, the longest day of the year. For generations, many First Nations, Inuit, and Métis communities have celebrated their cultures, languages, and traditions at this time of year. The summer solstice holds deep spiritual and cultural significance for many Indigenous Peoples, marking a time of renewal, connection, and celebration. 

Mom is hoping to go to a local PowWow. We will stay home and imagine the smoked salmon, bannock and the dancing!
