International Left Handers Day is observed annually on 13th August to celebrate the uniqueness and differences of left-handed individuals.
The day was first observed in 1976 by Dean R. Campbell, founder of Lefthanders International, Inc. The day was created to celebrate sinistrality and raise awareness of the advantages and disadvantages of being left-handed in a predominantly right-handed world.

International Left Handers Day on August 13th recognizes all those individuals who have mastered using their left hand in a right-handed world. We take our hats off to you – left-handed!
Approximately 10% of the population are southpaws. Scientists don’t know why a person develops left-handedness. But it’s more likely a child will be left-handed if one parent is a lefty, too. Parents of left-handed children used to force them to use their right hands. In the eyes of right-handers, the predominant use of the left hand seemed evil. Parents feared their communities would shun their children. While we accept left-handedness more readily than days gone by, its occurrence hasn’t increased.  
Famous Lefties
Many lefties seek to blend in because they will stand out soon enough. Their unique quality makes them feel awkward. They bump elbows or seem like a klutz. However, in a world designed for the right-handed, those who are other dominant adapt quite well. For example, eight United States presidents were left-handed, including Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush, Bill Clinton, and Barack Obama. Would the Sistine Chapel and the Mona Lisa stand the test of time if Michaelangelo and Leonardo de Vinci had been right-handed? 
Uncommon Individual
Left Handers Day recognizes the uncommon individual who throws, catches, writes, and uses a fork with their left hand. They view the world just a little differently, too. At a restaurant, they seek out the seat that will place their dominant elbow on the outside of the booth. Right-handed athletes groan a bit when the southpaw shows up as an opponent on the roster. They present a challenge right-handers aren’t always sure how to handle due to lack of practice. And yet, lefties square off against righties all the time.
Don’t be shy on Left-Handers Day. Show the world how brilliant and unique you are!
HOW TO OBSERVE #LeftHandersDay
Take a left-handed friend to lunch or out for coffee. If you’re right-handed, try doing everything with your left hand. Left-handers post photos using #lefthandersday to prove your left-handed awesomeness.
Looking for more ways to celebrate? Well, we’ve got them! Educators, visit the National Day Calendar Classroom for a project designed just for Left-Hander’s Day. You can also download and print a left-handed coloring page!
INTERNATIONAL LEFT HANDERS DAY HISTORY
International Left Handers Day was founded in 1992 in the United Kingdom. Because of the popularity of this observation in the United States, the Registrar at National Day Calendar added the day to its list of national days.

I just know Max celebrated the day by surprising her beautiful wife with a special little gift—like a new left-handed journal for her to continue recording their memories in. 🥰

Fun Day BPC Day 13: Left-Hander's Day.
Apparently Lewis Carroll was left-handed. I am not. So holding that thick book in this way with my left hand was difficult. I'm surprised the picture isn't more blurry lol. I thought my black-light poster was a good background for Wonderland. Though I really should get a black light to enjoy the benefits of the poster lol.

Happy International Left Handers Day ✌🏻
Paul and I are both lefties…so please celebrate us 🫶🏻
The nice thing about me being left-handed, probably the best thing, was that when you get two guys on a mic, if they’re right handed, they’d bang each other with a guitars, they’re both of fighting for that space. Where’s with me and George as it was often it would be like that. I would be this was and he would be that. It was very convenient. So you would just both move in on a mic, you can get in easy on the mic. So that always used to be the thing. -Paul McCartney

The Center of it All
Anders thought it was a bad idea from the start.
When Grand Enchanter Fiona asked Garrett Hawke to serve as her agent, to speak at the Divine's Conclave on her behalf, Anders had a sinking feeling about it all. At first, Anders had begged him not to go. He pleaded with him to reject the offer, to let someone else go in her stead, but he had let Garrett convince him that all would be well. That he would be safe.
Garrett didn't necessarily want to go, but he felt obligated to.
If there was even a chance to make a change, to persuade others to stand with them and defend their cause, should he not take it?
Anders had no response to that.
He watched Garrett make the trip from the village of Haven to the Temple of Sacred Ashes, remaining behind in Haven, where he was careful to blend in amongst the crowds.
Varric met up with him on the outskirts of the village, right as it happened.
"Blondie, there you are," Varric said, relieved. "Long time, no see." He glanced around, then frowned. "Hawke already left?"
For a split second, Anders heard the beginnings of whispers, low in his ear. Distant hisses with no real meaning.
Before he could form a greeting, his head snapped in the direction of the Temple, eyes narrowed.
"Did you hear that?" he asked, to which Varric furrowed his brow, his head cocked to the side.
Anders could sense the taint nearby, barely close enough to detect.
"Hear wha—"
The explosion was deafening.
Wind whipped past them at blinding speeds, knocking them off their feet. As Anders hit the ground, he struggled for breath, winded, staring up in horror as the sky split open before them.
His ears rang, an endless torment.
Grasping at the right side of his head, he winced.
Once he gathered enough strength, he sat up.
Only for his heart to turn to ice.
At the center of it all, there laid the Temple of Sacred Ashes, completely destroyed in the blast.
Oh, the irony was not lost on him.
Was this to be Anders' punishment then? Was this some sort of sick, twisted joke? Was this the Maker's doing, sacrificing one of His most sacred temples to exact his vengeance upon those that rebel against Him and His precious flock?
Anders couldn't find it in himself to care. To the Void with that. To the Void with the Maker Himself, if that be the case.
His heart shattered to pieces, leaving an empty chasm in its wake.
"G–Garrett!" Anders gasped.
His ribs ached, but he ignored it, surging to his feet in a futile attempt to lunge forward.
His head spun, and his knees buckled. He didn't make it far before he collapsed into the snow.
Curling in on himself, he released a pained cry.
"Maker, no!" Tears streamed down his cheeks, hot compared to the icy winds slicing through pale skin. "You cannot have him!"
How easily Justice took over, what with the Veil all but torn to shreds.
Gritting their teeth, they got to their feet with renewed strength, turning to help Varric stand.
Varric gaped up at the hole in the sky.
When he spoke, his whisper was frightened, cautious.
He didn't want to face the truth anymore than Justice did.
"Blondie, where is Hawke?" When they didn't reply, staring up at the decimated temple instead, Varric followed their gaze and swore. "Shit, shit, shit..."
"We must go find him," they stated.
"What? You think he actually survived that?" Varric asked.
Needless to say, he was skeptical.
"If anyone could survive such a catastrophe, it would be Garrett," Justice answered, certain of their claim. Gathering their staff, they set out with Varric at their heel. "We will not rest until we know for sure."
"Uh-huh, and you had nothing to do with this?"
Justice stopped to turn on their heel, glaring down at him, enraged by the accusation. Varric threw his hands up in surrender.
"Just asking," he muttered. "Wouldn't be the first time, after all."
"This act served no purpose but to cause more chaos for the foreseeable future," Justice snapped, "and we would not have taken such a risk with Garrett so close."
"Well, that's reassuring."
"Come. Let us make haste," Justice ordered, lengthening their stride. "We are wasting precious time."
Varric grunted as he rushed to keep up.
"What if we encounter resistance?" he asked.
"For their sake," Justice told him, "they would be wise to stay clear of our path."
And for once, Varric agreed with them.
When it came to Hawke, they would stop at nothing to keep him safe.
