January 11

It's January 11

It's National Step in a Puddle and Splash Your Friends Day but fuck that.

It's National Human Trafficking Awareness Day, and I'm quite aware of the state of this world, thank you very goddamn much.

On this day in 1787 – William Herschel discovers Titania and Oberon, two moons of Uranus

In 1922 – Leonard Thompson becomes the first person to be injected with insulin. Until insulin was made clinically available, a diagnosis of diabetes was a death sentence, more or less quickly (usually within months, and frequently within weeks or days).

In 1935 – Amelia Earhart becomes the first person to fly solo from Hawaii to California.



In 1943 – Italian-American anarchist Carlo Tresca is assassinated in New York City.


In 1996 – Space Shuttle Endeavour launches.
