I actually think we need to start making culture instead of being reactionaries. I want us to have actual holidays that we can build traditions off of.

We could try and set-up some sort of community celebration for that next year, maybe with daily or weekly posts regarding the specific efforts of sacrificial effort. Doesn't even have to be for the military, but maybe for anyone who distinguished some kind of exceptional heroism or sacrifice to save the lives of their community, or as a result of official duty of care.
Child Sexual Assault Survivors month is a good idea. The Pride month in the UK is different from the one in the US, so we could use the UK's pride month for that (or vice versa). Perhaps each week we could post stories from de-transitioners, victims of John Money's experiments, or any sort of survivors of institutionally supported sex crimes (like testimony from the Epstein trial).
That sounds like a good idea. We need a new videogame holiday since E3 is no more as well.
Perhaps a month of geek. Every day celebrates a different geeky hobby. I'm really shocked at the fan made movies made by WH40K fans. How did a geek rise up and change the world? The MIT hackers, the Atari craziness, engineers who designed arcade games before videogames, and many more. If others want to make a big day or hoopla, then so can we. If they complain we already have holidays like Pi Day, point out we need more representation.
Actually, we could tie it up to the Summer Sales and call it a "Month of Gaming"
Ooooh... Gamer Pride. Hmmmmm. Subversive, I like it!
Not Gaymer.
I like it. Convention season is around this time as well.
Well, that one's already taken.
