Okay stop fucking around for five minutes and read this. The crew over at Get It 2Gether (which is an unreal site and would be on our blogroll if we had one, except we’re sort of a one blog wolfpack) sent us an email this morning explaining how today is a special day.
Today is To Write Love On Her Arms Day, and is something we here at the blog encourage 100 percent. To Write Love On Her Arms is a non-profit movement that supports those dealing with depression, suicidal thoughts, addiction, etc. Basically all you have to do today to support this cause is write the word “LOVE” on your arm and show it off (so those of you looking to hit the town in a longsleeve tonight can go fuck yourself). I don’t care if it rains tonight, this is more important. The hope is that sometime today this conversation (or something like it) will occur:
PERSON ON STREET
“Say, young person, why do you have that word on your arm?”
YOU
“Why thank you for asking sir, I will explain. This is a symbol representing the To Write Love on Her Arms movement, which is a non-profit that supports those going through things like addiction and depression. It’s a fantastic cause and I would encourage you to join me in this fight today simply by writing LOVE on one of your outer extremities, or by visiting http://www.twloha.com/.”
PERSON ON STREET
“Why I think I’ll do just that my good chap. Here’s 100 dollars American for you, just because you’re obviously one cool customer. Good day.”
YOU
“Sweet.”
So kidding aside, this is a great cause and any contribution you make goes a long way. We’re happy to support Get It 2Gether on this one, and we’re glad they brought it to our attention. Many thanks to Will and the gang.
