“Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.” Diary of Anne Frank January 13, 1943

I like the moon and sometimes I'll even look at a picture of the moon, but the #SturgeonMoon posts are ridiculous. It's just a full moon. Nothing special about it except someone decided to attach a fish's name to it. Rant over.
