[VickiLanger]

Describe the bug tweet_annual_events.py is tweeting Today is [] (example)

I added the str() to line 51 & 53 because both gave TypeError: must be str, not list. Weird that it gave the error though because it was working fine before that. https://github.com/VickiLanger/LGBTQ-of-the-day-bot/commit/458011e34a15f931b7ccda50558df60ed769e31a#diff-35adfeb78198446941a15787967ce372f9106ac2373e821bcb6d8a5e180456ce

    if length_list_event_tweets != 0:
        if length_list_event_tweets > 1:
            event_tweet = tweet_template + str(choice(list_of_event_tweets))
        else:
            event_tweet = tweet_template + list_of_event_tweets[0]  # str(list_of_event_tweets) == ['a good day for testing yet another feature in production. We now support annual events with variable dates like "5th Friday of October"']
        api.update_status(event_tweet)
        print('annual event tweet accomplished')
    else:
        print('no annual event tweet today')

To Reproduce Currently, running and posting as Today is [] daily at 1130 EST/430 UTC

Expected behavior It should instead be tweeting the first item of list_of_event_tweets. Should only tweet the first event in list_of_event_tweets if there is an event or print to logs no annual event tweet today

Additional context For reference, the next 3 events are

    '12-01': 'Wolrd AIDS day \n #WorldAIDSDay',  # http://www.worldaidsday.org/about
    '12-08': 'Pansexual Pride Day',  # https://www.queerevents.ca/notable-lgbtq-dates#pansexualprideday
    '12-10': 'Human Rights Day',  # https://www.un.org/en/observances/human-rights-day

Still getting an error. I'm sure it's a quick fix.
