Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.
Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.
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.

So that might be one reason why they didn't want to mark it this year in particular.
It's also the anniversary of the formation of the PLO and the coronation of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. Whether either of these matter to any given person I suppose depends on the person.
You can say something like this about every single date.
