Google Calendar Removes Pride, Black History, and Women’s Month to Make Room for ‘Don Jr. Awareness Week’

MOUNTAIN VIEW — After quietly scrubbing Black History Month, Women’s History Month, and Pride Month from its 2025 calendar, Google has announced a bold new addition to its streamlined schedule: Don Jr. Awareness Week, a seven-day observance meant to “center voices that feel loud but ignored.”

“The calendar needed some updates,” said Google spokesperson Madison Cushman Veld. “So we trimmed the excess and made room for something with broader cultural reach. Don Jr.’s metrics are surprisingly strong right now.”

According to Google’s official memo, “Users are encouraged to reflect on Don Jr.’s brave battle with public speaking”, a struggle the tech giant described as “deeply moving, especially when he makes it through a sentence that isn’t about Biden.”

The Don Jr. Awareness Week will feature daily calendar notifications like ‘Remember: He’s Trying His Best’, ‘Courage Isn’t Always Coherent’, and ‘This Counts as Charisma Now.’

As part of the redesign, other observances have also been updated. Indigenous Peoples’ Day has been rebranded as Columbus Appreciation: Redux, and Juneteenth has been replaced with an invite-only gathering titled The Reconciliation Brunch.

At press time, sources at Google hinted that Q2 might bring a second new holiday: Melania Heritage Week (Observed).
