I didn't know about this, and I think it's a very great idea. I wish we had an equivalent 'holiday' in this country to forefront similar issues. Canada being awesome again.

In this week's edition of "why I haven't published my next crochet pattern" we have WooCommerce randomly removing carriage returns from all my product pages, turning them into a great unreadable mass of text.
So now I have to go into each listing to reinsert all the line breaks. #smallbusiness
