   In Wales it's the day we celebrate the life of the most famous pirate of all time, Black Bart, or as you may know him, Dread Pirate Roberts! ☠️🦜😱

   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bartholomew_Roberts

   He was born in a village not too far from where I live now.

   Celebrations take the form of telling those in authority who are being arseholes to fuck off¹ and buying lots of bargains in preparation for Christmas 🙂👍

   I also believe that many in the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster also join in these celebrations.

   ¹ This aspect of the celebrations is now so popular that it is now continued for most of the year! 😁

     TIL there are people that think it’s called “Black Friday” because of retailers making money and not the real reason, which is the great Cabbage Patch Kids riots of 1983
