Happy #Blackout Pride!

What's up, folks? As you can see, today’s the day! We want to celebrate you and your work today, especially Black LGBTQ folks, who are often left out or erased from #Pride.

On Tumblr, we will be reblogging anyone that tagged us @theblackoutofficial if your post is artwork, business, music and talent related.

If you got a selfie you want to show us, tag us on Instagram instead! (@officialblackoutday on Instagram)

Or hit us up on Twitter @theblckout.

While I will try to get to as many posts as I can, please expect delays due to volume or requests and time.

Thanks and enjoy! - @nukirk

Super late selfies for #blackout

[theblackoutofficial]

Hi! If we have a photo set that meets guideline requirements, can we send you the link to reblog it? (Submission form can't take gif sets or photo sets)

Yes, you can!

We realize that submissions can sometimes be iffy, so as an alternative, if you have something that meets the guidelines, just send us a link and we’ll reblog it.

Just to get ahead of the next #Blackout, if you are partaking in Black LGBT PRIDE and you’re a creative, organization, or business, it’s best if you submit your material between now and June 5 so we can queue them up!

Only one submission per individual. 

If you have selfies, tag us on Instagram instead. (Instagram is https://instagram.com/officialblackoutday)

JUNE 6TH IS ON ITS WAY! BE READY!

[theblackoutofficial]

Hey Black Tumblr! Here’s co-Creator @nukirk with some quick reminders on who we are, when the next #Blackout is, and how you can participate.

Full Transcript: *voice over* 

June 6th is the next Blackout Day. Now, you may be wondering "what is Blackout Day?" Well, we like to think of it as a chance to define and redefine blackness, because being you is very dynamic and ever changing, so why keep the idea static? 

How you partake in this day? Simply post a photo of you.But let's pause for a second. You don't have a photo or you're not photogenic? That's alright, because the goal is to talk about blackness in your own way. So, you got artwork, a picture of the squad, your business associates, maybe a song or poem? Or a video of you doing something minor, awesome... or perhaps "extra?" Maybe you got a business or you freelance? How about a family, no matter how big or small? Siblings? Got a testimony to share? A story? 

Okay, I could go on and on, but I think you're getting the idea…If you’ve got nothing for this time around, prep for Sept 6th and in the meantime, share what other people are sharing. Discovering and uplifting others are just as important!

No matter if you’re light or dark, bi-racial or fully black, American, Caribbean, African...we’re here to celebrate ALL our people enjoying the beautiful complexity that is life.So make sure to get yourself ready for June 6th and make some time to Hashtag Blackout!

Remember to follow us on all our platforms as you’re prepping for the June 6th Blackout!

Hello Black Tumblr!

In the next few days leading up to our second anniversary, we’ll be publishing tips and reminders on how to celebrate #Blackout and make it inclusive and fun!

TIP #1: Celebrate all shades.

Our mission is to make sure that we celebrate ALL Blackness, from the lightest of us to the darkest. 

We must all do our part to 1) combat the Colorism in our communities that prevents darker skinned Black folks from being as visible and 2) ensure that we are not erasing/invalidating the Blackness of white-passing Black folks on Blackout days. 

We look forward to seeing your faces, art, music, etc...on March 6th! Stay tuned for more tips!
