It's Geek Pride Day! This is the day to celebrate geeks and nerds around the world.

Do you love something that might be considered nerdy? This is the day to shout it out to the world and be proud! The date was chosen to coincide with the release of the first Star Wars movie in 1977. But you don’t have to be a Star Wars fan to celebrate this holiday. Celebrate what you love in whatever way feels right to you!

Today, I'm sharing this feature I wrote a while ago about the Big Bang Theory... the sitcoms of all geek sitcoms! Check the feature and the accompanying book recommendations!

🧦📚🖖✨ Happy 25th of May — Geek Pride Day, Towel Day, and a Celebration of Imagination!

Today we celebrate a little bit of everything. Star Wars, Tolkien, Douglas Adams, Geek Pride Day, Reader Pride Day… and what’s beautiful is that they don’t clash. They don’t compete. They accumulate.

Because that’s what happens when you create imaginary worlds: you end up building real communities.

📖 When we first fall in love with a story, when a character makes us feel more seen than any real person ever has, it usually happens in solitude. In a quiet room, in soft lighting, on a rainy afternoon or under an endless summer sky — that first connection is intimate. Private. Almost secret.

And then… you go looking for others. And you find them.

🎮👾 Over time, the worlds that once felt like personal sanctuaries become shared gathering spaces. It doesn’t matter if you started with Harry Potter, Marvel, One Piece, Star Trek, Terry Pratchett, Final Fantasy, Doctor Who or Dragon Age. What matters is that each one opened a portal. And on the other side, there weren’t just dragons or starships: there were people like you.

And that, for me, changed everything.

Because I wasn’t quite “weird enough” for any urban tribe, nor “normal enough” to blend in. My teenage years felt dull on the outside, eccentric on the inside. I never really fit in at school. But books, games, forums, fanfics, and films offered me an alternative home. An imaginary one. An immense one.

🌍✨ I imagined my place in the world — and in doing so, I found it.

And I’ve never really stopped. I keep writing, rereading, sharing, gaming, theorising, falling in love with impossible characters and recognising myself in real people. People who were also saved by a world that doesn’t exist. People who turn imagination into something shared.

💫 Today, I celebrate that. I celebrate the kind of community that forms when someone says: “You like this too?”

Because in that moment, it’s no longer just yours — it becomes ours.

Today is geek pride day!

As good strategy game lovers, we wanted to see how CHR characters would look like if they were cards.

What do you think, would you like to try such a card game?

Happy #geekprideday⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ Today only we're running 15% off the entire store to celebrate!⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ QOTD: What are your favorite "geeky" passions?⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ I crammed as many of the ones I fell in love with first as I could in this photo. Can you spot them all?⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ I remember being 18 and working at GameStop and getting berated by strangers and family for being a "girl gamer" or "boyish" because I liked the things I liked. I disassociated with the things I was passionate about for a long time to be more feminine and fit into what I thought I was supposed to be.⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ Well fuck that shit. If you would've told me then at 25 I'd be starting to live my dream of owning my own business, making things that make people happy, and being who I truly am I don't know if I would've believed you. #bewhoyouwanttobe⁠⁠ .⁠⁠ .⁠⁠ .⁠⁠ #geek #starwars #r2d2 #geekpride #nerd #gamer #gaming #geekgirl #geeklife #looseleaftea #tea #teatime #tealover #looseleafteas #tealovers #looseleafteablends #teaaddict #tealife #candlesofinstagram #smallbusiness #candlesandcandles #candleshop #candlelover #fandommerch #bookstagram #fandom #bookishmerch #bookish (at East Nashville, Tennessee) https://www.instagram.com/p/CPTXKKHB7_E/?utm_medium=tumblr
