The Work Never Stops! More Blank Color Squares To Post On Instagram And Then Pat Self
It’s been a few months since we tireless allies bravely stormed the gates of systemic racism by posting plain black squares sans the BLM hashtag (whoops! our bad) so we thought we’d brainstorm some new color squares through which we could show our support to the various causes that need our attention. Ally fatigue is real and blank, colored squares are an easy and sustainable regimen for allies everywhere looking to maximize likes/engagements and minimize time/effort lest we stretch ourselves too thin.
Green Square - Highlight the various ways you are saving the planet by posting various shades of the color green (i.e. lime or whatever) to highlight every can of Lacroix that you’ve personally recycled.
Pink Square - Yas qween! Let your followers know you have seen minimum two seasons of Rupaul’s Drag Race or one of its spin-offs.
Brown Square - Either to shine a light on the importance of proper digestive health or colorism. Maybe both?! Hey, that’s two birds, one square.
Yellow Square - For Asian Awareness. Check with an Asian friend to see if “Yellow” has been “reclaimed” yet and circle back. If it takes too long to hear back, post anyway. We’re sure it’ll be fine.
Blue Square - For those being shamed for not having depression during the pandemic. Know that we will not be silenced and you will be seeing our poolside pics.
Nude Square - For male allies in support of women owning their sexuality and dismantling the patriarchy one nude at a time (bonus points awarded based on how race-neutral your interpretation of the color “nude” is).
Purple Square - We just read an article that Prince was problematic (abusive, dated minors, etc.) and thought people should know. Plus, we’re more Bowie fans anyway.
Red Square - #believewomen In support of all sexual assault victims bravely coming forward minus the lying bitches that’ve accused someone we actually like.
Off-White Square - Something to scream: “Yes, we’re white but we’ve read The New Jim Crow!”
Chartreuse Square - To raise chartreuse awareness. What is this color and why don’t more people know about it? Do the work.
Obsidian Square - This might look like black to the untrained eye but it’s the color of your phone when it’s not alive with love and attention. For people with low follower counts.
