   TIL: don't wish people "Happy Yom Kippur" 🤪

   I guess not exactly a celebration.

   (ps. sorry!)

     I didn't realize this would get shared around, so let me clarify.

     July 24 is Pioneer Day in Utah. A state holiday, although my coworkers were astonished to be informed it's not a national holiday.

     In recent years there's been some backlash, given the pioneer genocide of indigenous folks.

     Many people celebrate Pie-and-Beer Day instead.

     Couple years later I moved to UT and saw it from the other side.

     I thought July 24th was the most important holiday of the year growing up. More fireworks and celebration than July 4th! 🤷

     I used to work in FL for a company whose other call center was in UT. The FL people were shocked and confused that the UT people got July 24 off as a holiday.

     The UT people were shocked and confused that the FL people knew nothing about the day.
