note to my kid's friend's parents

it does make me uncomfortable that it was decided to use Juneteenth for the HK blog thing, because seriously, this day already has a thing, and it's a big thing. A really big thing. The kind you don't take attention away from. The kind you don't ignore.

I get that the Helen Keller thing was started by non usians, but it still bothers.
