Sorry to break the news, but Mister Rogers did not have a Twitter account. Twitter started about three years after Mister Rogers passed away. While we will never know what he would have posted in 140+ characters, there are a few accounts across the social media channels that offer some of Mister Rogers’ wisdom and expertise on a daily basis.

I stumbled across the Instagram account of the Mister Rogers Archive a few years ago and it is one of my favorites to follow. It’s a great mix of Mister Rogers’s wisdom and historic photos from the Mister Rogers television show and Pittsburgh.

What is 143 Day?

Governor Wolf has declared May 23rd “143 Day” in the state of Pennsylvania to honor Pittsburgh’s favorite neighbor, Fred Rogers.

May 23 is the 143rd day of the year. But what does May 23 have to do with Mister Rogers? 1-4-3 was one of Fred Rogers’ favorites because 143 is often used to say “I love you.”

And you can listen to Mister Rogers discuss 143 with Mr. McFeely.
