It's a public holiday in

@sonny Frauenkampftag! ✊

I didn't know that its history is so related to the Soviet Union though, which gives it quite a bad taste in light of events since 2014 (or even earlier, really). Especially with the Baltic countries apparently having abandoned it as a public holiday.

But I guess that's like with most things - there's usually something uncomfortable in the past you should be aware of.

@sonny professional deformation is when you interpret it as iwd.wiki.kernel.org/ supports Internation Woman's Day
