Welcome to Weird Pride Day Five, happening on 2025-03-04.

Since 2021, the 4th of March has been a day to celebrate all the ways there are to be weird without hurting anyone else.

Humans are a strange bunch, and if we weren’t, we’d be a lot more boring.

As ever, you’re invited to post things online about your weirdness and so on, probably with #WeirdPride in there somewhere. There are also two organised online events you might like to know about, as well as an in-person event in Edinburgh…

Robin Ince, Josie Long and Kate Fox will be joining Fergus Murray to talk about coming to terms with our weirdness, the weirdness of other people and indeed the weirdness of the universe at large.

Get free tickets for this online event here. It’s at 17:30 GMT.

Meanwhile, Stimpunks have a packed day planned on their Discord…

Activities

• Fashion, coping, and mobility device show
• Art gallery and show
• Open mic storytelling
• Flash talk infodumps
• Sparklies in the dark
• Vendor/org booths and talks

“Would you like to do a 5 minute flash talk or tell a 5 minute story? Email stimpunks@stimpunks.org to reserve a slot or join in on-the-fly during our open slots.”

Visit their page to see the full schedule!

It’s not technically a Weird Pride event, but we have Betsy Selvam’s blessing to include their event Autism and Gender Identity: A Personal Journey Towards Self-Understanding here, as it fortuitously falls on Weird Pride Day.

There may be other events happening – please let us know if you’re organising anything you’d like to have listed here.

We’ll also add a selection of posts from the day here.
