Oh man, I can't believe that I missed #WorldPenguinDay by 2 days!

But still, the message remains: courage to the Adélie Penguins of Antarctica that are venturing out into the sea these days in search of food to keep their kind alive. And if you use GNU/Linux, take some time to reflect about how the animals that inspired your favorite mascot are threatened, and what you could do to help.

These fellows have it tough. Celebrate their braveness!

Old message from when I first got aware of this day:

Don’t know about you but I didn’t know today was “World Penguin Day.” I was also unaware of the “waddle” and “raft” meanings in this context. I’m also kinda partial to that “Herky bird.”
#WorldPenguinDay

“Today is World Penguin Day! Here is a waddle of emperor penguins marching in front of a ski-equipped U.S. Navy LC-130 in Antarctica in 1987. Did you know that a group of a penguins on land is called a ‘waddle’ but a group in the water is called a ‘raft’?” - U.S. Naval Institute
