Please sign this petition to tell @DanaherCorp that their test prices are too much. Why should someone have to spend ALL their money just to get a test? Medicine should not be a luxury. #TimeFor5 #PeopleOverProfits

I don't think John has posted here yet, but this is a call to action to put pressure on Johnson & Johnson who are needlessly extending a patent for Bedaquiline, a drug that could save hundreds of thousands of lives per year.

What a good opportunity for tumblr to try to negate some very bad John Green karma while also fighting for a good cause, yeah?

(Action items from the doobly-doo)

Tell Johnson and Johnson that evergreening their patent on bedaquiline, which will deny millions of people access to live-saving treatment, is a violation of their corporate credo! (NOTE: this one is quite lengthy and confusing and that is by design! They are trying to limit the number of complaints by putting so many barriers between you and submitting the report. Just keep going! Answer the questions to the best of your ability and get the report in.)

Tell them on twitter!

Tell them on this other twitter!

Tell them on facebook!

Tell them on instagram!

Me, scrolling tumblr: Wow, nobody’s doing it like John Green.

My mom: How so?

Me: Last week he coordinated with public health activists to mobilize his fan base to pressure a multinational corporation into reducing the price of tuberculosis tests from $10 to less than $8, which will save impoverished health systems hundreds of millions of dollars over the next ten years. This week he’s selling a chia pet shaped like his head.

idk if it's still considered "cringe" to be a Nerdfighter/fan of Hank and John Green, but man, if you think it's cringe, you need to take a long look at why you think that.

Nerdfighters are some of the most legit folks out there, and that is in no small part due to the mindset and attitude of compassion, kindness, a hunger to learn, a drive to help others, and a goal to make the world a better place in at least some small way that Hank and John have actively encouraged and cultivated over the last 16.5 years of their channel. Neither the Greens nor Nerdfighteria are perfect, but they all try, in my experience, and literally no one in the world is perfect, so that's all any of us can do.

I appreciate Hank and John and the Nerdfighters so much, and I'm so proud to have, even if it was often absently and from a distance, watched both the brothers and the community grow and develop since those first daily vlogs in 2007.

And if you still somehow think there's something embarrassing or "cringe" about being part of a community that on the whole so embodies and tries to live by the ideas that you can always learn and grow and it's never too late to start, the philosophy of "what we owe to each other" and how we're all in this together and therefore we should try to help each other however we can, the dream of repairing the world and leaving it better for those who come after us than it was when we got here, and the idea that each of us has inherent worth and value simply by being alive?

IDK man, that sounds like a you problem. Might want to consider why that makes you want to cringe at it. Just a thought.

Don't forget to be awesome, y'all.

The snow-white ground was cracked like dried lips and crunched under my feet. I could smell the salt. I kept trying to think of what it looked like, but my brain could only find highly figurative similes. It looks like driving alone at night feels. It looks like everything you're scared to say out loud. It looks like the moment the water retreats from the shore just before a wave rolls in.

What my experience of non-binarity means, to me. I’m non-binary, because when people only call me miss, I don’t feel good. When I’m only called a woman, I simply don’t, feel, good. There are expectations attached to this identity that I don’t relate to. If “woman” wasn’t attached to so much societal expectation that I don’t relate to, I wouldn’t give a damn. But I know what most people mean and perceive, when they see me as a woman, and it isn't accurate, it doesn't fit, it makes me want to crawl out of my own skin. 

And heck, it’s okay to be a woman, it’s okay to be a girl. It just doesn’t sit right with me. Sometimes, rarely, it does. A certain aspect of feminity, anyway. My identity is too fluid for me to just stop at “I felt like a woman once or twice this month, so I guess that’s my gender forever.”. Being non-binary is a way to free myself from societal expectations of what I can be, of what I can do, of what I can feel. To get the fuck out of a box that has gotten me in a chokehold for a bloody long time. 

When people call me sir, sometimes I feel good. When people call me mx, sometimes I feel good. When people call me mx, sir, AND miss, I feel truly understood, seen, and respected. I feel AWESOME. Because, in the end, it’s not so much the fact of being called “miss” that makes me feel bad. It’s the fact of ONLY being called miss.

At some point, I just gotta learn to embrace my inner chaos, and my identity is part of it. Sometimes I might feel more like one or the other, or the other, or the other, etc. Who knows. Not even me. It’s just so goddamn freeing, and so much more accurate to my perceived reality, to not be only ONE thing.

So, yeah. If you care about me, and/or want to respect me… You know what to do ! Mix it up. Make blunders too, as long as they’re well meant ! I’ll never get mad at anyone for messing up on something that I haven’t made clear, especially when it’s not even clear to me. Everything is fine as long as we’re all trying our best here. It'll all be fine, as long as we're doing our best to love each other- and care for our true, authentic selves.

Life is fucking short. If you can, be free. Even in secrecy, be proud. And always, be kind. Love on y'all. Take care of yourselves out there.

★ foldable joy journal!! ★

I made this little zine / journal that is printable and foldable easily at home!!

I think there is a lot to be said about being mindful and intentional about seeking the joy already present in our lives, a la Ross Gay's The Book of Delights. The word I chose to guide me in 2023 was "revel" which really encouraged me to take in all the delights in life :-)

This zine was inspired by a format I found in Special Collections of my college, and I made it through a process of lino-cut prints, collaging, and prototyping!

print here!!

hope you enjoy!

Hank, this summer has sucked and I have this intense need to add 'but' to the end of every negative sentence.

John Green. Use your words.

I thought this story was worth sharing, and whether it is read by none or one or twenty five, I’m glad I wrote it down, and I’m glad my brother read DFTBA from a bumper sticker on the highway. I hope someone smiles at the words on this page, before they are swallowed by the deluge of love and care sent by people all over the world with stories just like my own.

To be up front about it, your videos saved my relationship with my brother, Donovan.

He was my absolute best friend growing up, the person that everyone else had to live up to in order to be even considered a decent person.

He was my hero.

He’s three years older than me, and he was a protector as I went through the struggles that “high potential” kids have which aren’t always understood by those in authority positions.

All my teachers wanted to move me up a grade, which ruined the friendships I had cherished as ten-year-olds do. Fast forward six years, and my brother and I grew apart pretty quickly.

I was president of a couple of clubs at school and he was off to Vanderbilt that fall. We stopped telling each other everything, and I didn’t know what to do to keep talking.

We were driving to visit our grandmother who lived an hour away, and it was getting late.

We were keeping each other awake, blaring music and singing at the top of our lungs.

It was one of the best memories I had with him, and then it got better.

As a car passed us on the highway, my brother (pointing, reading a bumper sticker) yelled, “DFTBA!” And looked at me expectantly. I thought he was crazy, and he just kept repeating,

“Don’t forget to be awesome!...Vlogbrothers...John... Hank...none of this rings a bell?”

When I still didn’t understand, he just told me to go on YouTube on my phone and search “John Green pennies” because he couldn’t remember any specific title.

That was it.

Three minutes and fifty seven seconds, and I was hooked. We sat in my grandma’s living room until past 2:30 that morning watching any video that came up.

The most popular, related to the current one playing, and all of Hank’s songs. Since that day, we would run into each other’s room and talk about the videos for hours.

I also have a (totally healthy) obsession with Jane Austen, and watching all the Pemberly Digital projects with him has been second only to reading them in the first place.

We have read John’s novels together, and cried for hours.

This Christmas, my brother made a donation in my name for the P4A and it was the most amazing thing anyone could have ever done for me.

Without ever watching a video, our parents soon picked up on who we were speaking about when ‘John and Hank’ were mentioned, which is astonishing when they can’t even remember the names of our closest friends. I could list off one hundred other things about being a Nerdfighter, but most importantly is saying thank you.

Thank you for doing this and putting yourself out there which is so difficult to do.

Thank you for leaving your children something to be proud of when so many are left with nothing.

Thank you for turning Nerdfighters into Nerdfighters by decreasing world-suck.

And thank you to your wives and families who support you as you change lives on a daily basis.

Thank you for inspiring me personally, and showing me how easy it is to be passionate about writing and words. I thought this story was worth sharing, and whether it is read by none or one or twenty five, I’m glad I wrote it down, and I’m glad my brother read DFTBA from a bumper sticker on the highway.

I hope someone smiles at the words on this page, before they are swallowed by the deluge of love and care sent by people all over the world with stories just like my own.

Many good wishes and blessings.
