Don't boo. Vote.
Today marks the start of:
LGBTQ History Month
Work & Family Month
Domestic Violence Awareness Month (#DVAM)
ADHD Awareness Month, but that only goes to about the 5th or so… *rimshot*
Italian-American Heritage Month, which I expect my people will celebrate with our usual understated, low-key aplomb.
