Browsing instagram deep to see if there's any occult stuff that went on last night. Any ads I click "irrelevant" and suggested profiles, click, "not interested". Get that shit out of my face when I try to scroll down. Not much going on.. but did see this old lady talk about the day of the dead. I'm there.. what's that.

Hello, this is Bing. I’m glad you asked about the Day of the Dead. It is a fascinating and colorful celebration of life and death that takes place in Mexico and other parts of the world. 🎉

The Day of the Dead (Spanish: el Día de Muertos or el Día de los Muertos) is a holiday that honors the deceased with food, drink, music, and festivities. It is believed that the souls of the dead return to visit their living relatives on this day. The holiday is celebrated from October 31 to November 2, but some regions may have different dates12.

Some of the traditions associated with the Day of the Dead are:

Building altars (ofrendas) with photos, candles, flowers, and the favorite items of the departed.

Decorating graves with marigolds (cempazúchitl), which are said to guide the spirits with their bright color and scent.

Making sugar skulls (calaveras de azúcar) and other treats to share with friends and family.

Writing humorous poems (calaveras literarias) that mock the living or the dead.

Wearing costumes and masks (calacas) that represent skeletons or other aspects of death.

Participating in parades and dances that celebrate life and death. The Day of the Dead has a long history that combines elements from indigenous Mesoamerican cultures, European Christianity, and Spanish culture. Some scholars debate whether the holiday has genuine pre-Hispanic roots or whether it is a modern adaptation of a Spanish tradition3. In any case, the Day of the Dead is a unique and vibrant expression of Mexican identity and culture.

The Day of the Dead is not a sad or scary occasion, but rather a joyful and colorful one. It is a way of remembering and honoring the dead, as well as celebrating life and its cycles. It is also a way of coping with loss and grief, and affirming the connection between the living and the dead. 💀
