To celebrate Pride Month 2025, I decided to create a daily post with phrases that inspire.
I'll usually post something during pride month on at least one of the socials. However, I've wanted to do a daily Pride post during the month of June at least once. The closest I got to do this was was in 2022 via Instagram with 28 posts.
Initially, I was going to make just one post on June 1st because I had some questions to answer:
Could I come up with 30 phrases?
Should they be just the phrases, phrases with images/photos/drawings, phrases with videos, long or short videos?
On which of the social platforms should I post them?
And, it was June 1st already!
First, I decided to create the phrases. I had some already in the works, but I used the assistance of deepseek to create and rework my thoughts. The results provided the additional ideas that I used in combination with my own words and rephrasing many of them. Then, I arranged them in the order I wanted to share them.
Second, I decided that they would include an image. I used phrase as a prompt via perchance to formulate the images. In addition to the phrase, I included words like pride, pride month, LGBTQ+, rainbow, etc. I chose the image that provided a good representation of the phrase.
Third, I decided that I would make them short videos. Making them short videos would allow for them to be posted across my socials (except myspace). I also posted them on my blogs, which you can link through my bio.
Finally, instead of using stock music or popular music, I decided to create my own audio/music. To create them I used audio loops with a mix of EDM 80s Jazzy Drums type feel for them. I created a total of three tracks of which the results are what you hear across each post. IMO the audio/music tracks are much better appreciated hearing them in their entirety. In this post, you can listen to the complete first two tracks and part of the third.
Now that June has passed and each daily post completed, I wanted to share this longer video that includes all the phrases, images, audio, and "the making of" details that you'll hopefully enjoy.
