National Turkey Lovers’ Day

Turkey Lovers’ Day is celebrated on the third Sunday of June — on June 16 this year. It is dedicated to turkey lovers across America. For those who believe that Turkey is something they can only have on Thanksgiving, this day is quite an eye-opener. There are plenty of exciting and mouthwatering recipes you can make with turkey throughout the year. The fact that it is rich in protein and low in fat also makes it a healthy option.

History of Turkey Lovers’ Day

Compared to other national days, Turkey Lovers’ Day is relatively new. It was founded by the National Turkey Federation, an organization that has been promoting the use of turkey as part of America’s cuisine for the past eight decades, and Turkey Lovers’ Day was an important step in that direction.

There are many reasons why the National Turkey Federation decided to commemorate this day. Firstly, more turkey is consumed outside of Thanksgiving Day than during this festival. Secondly, more people are opening up to having turkey because of its nutritional value and rich taste. The NTF also feels that it has a responsibility towards turkey farmers and the industry in general since turkey is an important part of the American food industry.

Even though the commemoration of this day is not recognized by any law, the event has become quite popular simply because people love to have turkey and want to try out different recipes that they can prepare with turkey in the summer.

At Least It can't Get Any Worse

Warnings: explosion, collapse, head injury, crush injury, blood

"At least," Team Leader panted as they strained to lift the metal beam off themself, "it can't get any worse."

Smallest Teammate stared at Team Leader in horror. "What do you mean it can't get any worse? The building exploded and came down on top of us. You've hit your head and are pinned beneath a ceiling beam. The rest of the team probably thinks we are dead!"

Team Leader stopped trying to move the beam. They gave Smallest Teammate a wan smile. Smallest Teammate flinched at the sight of Team Leader's blood coated teeth. "That's my point," Team Leader continued, "this is pretty bad, Smallest Teammate. It won't get any worse than this."

Smallest Teammate leaned against another fallen beam. Somehow they had managed to only get a few cuts and bruises, while Team Leader took the majority of the injuries. "How bad is it, Team Leader?"

"Not too bad," Team Leader lied quickly. They didn't want to worry Smallest Teammate. The truth was their head injury was the least of their problems. Just a cut above their eye that bled heavily. The real problem was they were pretty sure the beam had crushed their pelvis. Even if they managed to get the beam off, Team Leader knew there was no way they would be able to walk out of the rubble.

Smallest Teammate nodded. "Still, I think I should try to find us a way out of here. Will you be ok if I look around a bit?"

Team Leader nodded. "Don't worry, Smallest Teammate, I'm not going anywhere. If you find a way out, just go. Get the others. They can help us get the beam off."

Smallest Teammate nodded and rose carefully. "I'll be back soon. Quick as I can. I promise!" And they quickly disappeared into the gloom.

Team Leader lay back and let out a sob. Their body hurt. It was hard to breathe around the pain. At least they got Smallest Teammate out. At least Smallest Teammate would be ok. That was all that mattered.

Kurdistan Solidarity Network Helsinki invites you to a discussion with legal and human rights experts about the prison island İmralı - the "Guantanamo of Europe" - and the situation of its most famous inhabitant Abdullah Öcalan.

Time: 16.6. at 15.-18.00

Place: Rosebud Sivullinen (Kaisaniemienkatu 5 00100 Helsinki)

The discussion will be in English.

The İmralı system in its current form was established on the basis of the complicity of many states, and since its conception in 1999, rulings of the European Court of Human Rights and the European Committee for the Prevention of Torture have been ignored. İmralı is a place of political struggle, and the "İmralı system" refers to the application of liquidation policies related to Öcalan and the Kurdish question rather than laws and regulations. We will learn more about this system, it's role in Turkish and European politics and it's effect on those imprisoned in İmralı. Welcome!
