Social Media Day 2021

Clock 29th March 2021 by heckford

On June 30th, 2010, Mashable launched Social Media Day, as a way to recognise and celebrate social media’s impact on global communication.

Whilst every day is essentially Social Media Day, June 30th, 2021 marks the 11th annual official global celebration. No matter what you’re doing, you can celebrate with us! To help you, we’ve put together a list of things to post about in July.

Things To Post About In July on Social Media

International Joke Day

This unofficial holiday encourages participants to share their funniest and sidesplitting jokes with the world. While the origins of this rib-tickling holiday are unknown, one can assume that its creators wanted people to spread cheer, laughter and happiness by telling jokes to everyone they meet.

World UFO Day

On July 2nd, World UFO Day, bring out your telescopes, gaze up to the skies and look out for unidentified flying objects. This holiday was created by the World UFO Day Organisation as a way to bring together UFO enthusiasts and to raise awareness about UFOs.

Workaholics Day

A day dedicated to people who spend all their time working and tend to ignore other pursuits in life. This holiday raises awareness about the fact that all work and no play can be harmful to the mental and physical health of workers.

World Kissing Day

Pucker up and lock lips with your sweetie because it is World Kissing Day. This day began in the United Kingdom and has now become popular throughout the world.

Video Games Day

On July 8th celebrate video games on Video Games Day. It is a day to acknowledge the art and science behind video games and to appreciate the skills required to play them.

Embrace Your Geekiness Day

Being a geek is something to be proud of – chances are there are few other people in the world who are as smart as you are in the field of your specific interest. So accept your geekiness with open arms and show off your knowledge with pride!

Gummi Worm Day

Remember gummi worms? Yes, those delicious sour and sweet candies of your childhood that resembled worms? Did you eat them by the fistful? Well, now you can do that again once a year on Gummi Worm Day.

Ice Cream Day

Cool down with a scoop or two of refreshing ice cream on Ice Cream Day. Celebrated annually since 1984 on the third Sunday of July, this unofficial holiday celebrates everyone’s favourite sweet treat.

Yellow Pig Day (wait, what?)

This unofficial holiday was created in the early 1960s by Princeton mathematics students. Whilst it is unclear why the day is called Yellow Pig Day, it’s sure to get people talking on your timeline.

Caviar Day

On July 18th, take out your best vodka and pair it with some top-of-the-shelf caviar because it is Caviar Day. This unofficial holiday of unknown origins encourages people to try out the delicacy while promoting environmentally friendly and humane fishing practices.

Stick Out Your Tongue Day

It is unclear whether the anonymous inventor of this made-up holiday intended it to be a day for people to stick out their tongues at everyone they come across or for them to visit their doctors to get a general check-up.

It is also possible that the creator of this unofficial holiday created it to encourage people to defy odds and attempt things that they find difficult to do.

Junk Food Day

On July 21st, let go of your diet and indulge in all your favourite unhealthy snacks without any guilt because it is Junk Food Day.

Vanilla Ice Cream Day

July 23rd is Vanilla Ice Cream Day. Celebrate this unofficial holiday of unknown origins by eating as much vanilla ice cream as you want, without any guilt.

Take Your Pants For A Walk Day

July 27th is Take Your Pants For A Walk Day. Because the purpose or the origins of the day are unknown, we can only surmise that this unofficial holiday encourages people (in pants) to go out for a walk and enjoy the many benefits that walking provides.

Milk Chocolate Day

July 28th is Milk Chocolate Day, everyone’s favourite type of chocolate.

Lasagne Day

Who doesn’t love lasagne the versatile and delicious dish made of layers of pasta or noodles, sauce, vegetables, and meat? Celebrate it on July 29th. This unofficial holiday of unknown origins celebrates the modern-day versions of lasagne – a one-pot dish baked in an oven – originated in Naples, Italy.

National Cheesecake Day

July 30th is National Cheesecake Day, a day to treat yourself with a slice (or two) of this decadent dessert made of cream cheese, eggs, sugar, and a graham cracker crust.
