NATIONAL DONUT DAY TODAY

Fri, 04 Jun 2021 20:57:58 +0000

Each year on the first Friday in June, people participate in National Doughnut or Donut Day, celebrating the doughnut and honoring the Salvation Army Lassies. The Salvation Army Lassies are the women who served doughnuts to soldiers during WWI.

In 1917, the original “Salvation Army Doughnut” was first served by the ladies of the Salvation Army. It was during WWI that the Salvation Army Lassies went to the front lines of Europe. Home-cooked foods, provided by these brave volunteers, were a morale boost to the troops.

The doughnuts were often cooked in oil inside the metal helmets of American soldiers. American infantrymen were then commonly called “doughboys.” A more standard spelling of the word is “donut.”

Krispy Kreme is offering a free doughnut on Friday, June 4. You can also get a free glazed doughnut if you show your COVID vaccination card. In addition, you can get a dozen Original Glazed Doughnut for $1 with the purchase of another dozen.

That's so pretty!

So, some interesting stuff happened at school that I forgot to post about. First off, we were doing something (i don’t remember) and my science teacher mentioned people who dressed up as animals, then she was like “I don’t mean furries” and like the WHOLE class turned and looked at me. It was my two friends who know first, and then people saw them looking, so they turned around, etc. Then this girl we’ll call Ramen (I love ramen) was like wait, you’re a furry? she kept asking me all class. She’s in my friend group, and she’s really nice, but she can be a little loud. Afterward, I told her that yes, I am a furry, and she asked what exactly a furry was, so I explained it to her. Then my science teacher, on the way to Spanish, said sorry, I didn’t know, but it’s cute. c’mon CUTE? I mean yeah, my fursona is cute, but like, idk how being a furry is “cute”. And now one of my teachers knows. And then, in art class the next day, this girl who’s kinda well, not popular, but acts like it, mentioned furries, and once again, my friends turned around. The thing is that this one girl does NOT like furries, so, uh, idk how this is gonna work out.

Also, one last thing. I’m considering buying a small, corgi-style tail to clip to my jeans and wear around, not at school because that would be MORTIFYING, but just around, like to the mall, and other places. But idk...

PS them tags be trippin XD
