Celebrate Find Your Inner Nerd Day!
Author John Green said it best: "Nerds like us are allowed to be unironically enthusiastic about stuff. Nerds are allowed to LOVE stuff, like, jump-up-and-down-in-your-chair-can't-control-yourself LOVE it!"
Every year on August 23, Find Your Inner Nerd Day is your moment to recognize what makes you happy and different and share it with the world.
Why August 23rd?
We founded Find Your Inner Nerd Day to inspire you to share what you LOVE — your dog clothes knitting addiction, your Star Wars action figure collection, your bookmarked videos of the Riff-offs from the “Pitch Perfect” movies. We chose August 23 as the recurring date because that’s the day Twitter pioneer Chris Messina posted this simple Tweet in 2007 and invented the hashtag.
The hashtag helps bring people together to share common interests... thus it's a great way for nerds to find each other. Whether you're a #bookaddict, #birdphotographer, #sockknitter or #stargazer, you can find your people with hashtags.
Stop and Find Your Inner Nerd
On Find Your Inner Nerd Day, we ask you to pause and examine the activities in your life that bring you joy. Like John Green said, when you find your inner nerd, you are allowed to "LOVE stuff, like, jump-up-and-down-in-your-chair-can't-control-yourself LOVE it!"
So share it with the world...
what do you LOVE?
