This will be a running issue to let people know how to add events to words_dir/tweet_annual_events.py

---

For all events

When adding events, please place them in order, oldest to newest

If you're adding a hashtag, please include \n to make the hashtag hop to the next line

Events from all around the world are welcome. If the event is specific to a country, please include the country in the narrative.

Events with Unchanging Dates

events added should look like the below

    'MM-DD': 'Name of day \n relevant hashtag',  # reference link, if you have one
    
    # November
    '11-08': 'Intersex Solidarity Day \n #IntersexSolidarityDay',
    '11-20': 'International Transgender Day of Remembrance',  # http://tdor.info/about-2/
    
    # December
    '12-01': 'Wolrd AIDS day \n #WorldAIDSDay',  # http://www.worldaidsday.org/about

Events with changing dates

# Examples

    '08-2U': 'Gay Uncles Day',
    '11-1U': 'Trans Parent Day',

For events on a nth day of the month (like 2nd Tuesday of November), the syntax is MM-xY

• x = week number (1-5)
• Y = day of week (MTWRFSU)
• denoted by MTWRFSU - Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, thuRsday, Friday, Saturday, sUnday
• Example - 2nd Tuesday of November would be listed as '11-2T'

Proposed workflow:

1. Fork this repo
2. Add events to words_dir/tweet_annual_events.py keeping to the existing style/conventions:
   • follow the examples above
3. Once you are done and checked for typos, commit it & push your work to your fork
4. Submit a PR against this repo

Someone will look it over and, if deemed appropriate, will merge your PR.

Thanks for contributing!
