No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.
-
No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

I think the abbreviation CCP is already taken…
Maybe a different name would be best.
Why don't we just leave out the middle name? We could just have Clair Patterson day, or CP day. Surely that wouldn't confuse the internet, right?
Yikes.. Maybe let's just do "Patterson Day" :)
I like myself a good P day
Nooooope. Hmm. How about International Clair Patterson day, or ICP day? Surely there are no negative connotations for ICP in the scientific community
"It's all around you, you don't even know it"
Ngl, that fits pretty well with lead from car exhaust
Happy Make Inhaling Lead Forbidden Day.
ALL HAIL CCP?
Lemmygrad/Hexbear and the rest of Lemmy can find a common denominator at last.
It would be very on brand for ccp to just steal the name lol
