#DoubleDeuceDay • Feb 2nd •
Imagine what we could achieve together if we trusted each other. What if there was a simple way for everyone who believes in making the world better to say so? Wouldn’t it be inspiring if, despite our differences, millions of people said in unison that they care?
Double Deuce Day is an annual celebration in which people around the world, from a variety of backgrounds, with different beliefs and political views, let each other know that we give a sh!t.
Or, actually, two.
If you’ve watched movies or spent time on the internet, you’ve probably come across the phrase “I couldn’t give two sh!ts”, meaning “I really don’t care”. You might also know that in American English, a literal sh!t, or poop, is often referred to as a “number 2” or “deuce”.
By posting two poop emojis—in other words: 2 number 2s—on February 2nd—the 2nd day of the 2nd month—we tell our friends, our families, our colleagues—and any random strangers who might see our post—that we do, in fact, give two sh!ts.
I think it’s pretty obvious to most people that the world is a hot mess. And instead of fixing it, the people in charge mostly seem to be looking out for themselves. Between climate change, war and political polarization, you might say that everything’s going to sh!t. And it seems really hard—if not impossible—to fix a lot of the biggest problems.
Even though we don’t know exactly what to do to make things better, by posting two poop emojis, we show that we’re open to figuring it out, together.
So if you also give two sh!ts about the world and about your fellow humans, we invite you to join in and post two poop emojis, too. Ideally you’ll include a link to this site and tag @doubledeuceday / #DoubleDeuceDay whatever platform you’re posting on.
If you prefer to share your own explanation of what Double Deuce Day means to you, we encourage that, too. Perhaps there’s a particular cause that you’re inspired to highlight. Maybe there’s a lifestyle change that you want to make in your life and that you want to encourage others to join you in making, too.
But don’t overthink it! The point is that this should be the easiest thing in the world to do.
