Project for Awesome 2024 & Save the Children
Tumblr media
Hank Green and CEO of Save the Children Janti Soeripto, talk about the issues within the Gaza Strip currently happening, and calling for ceasefire once more. Project for Awesome is (dare I say) an awesome way that John and Hank Green and the others helping them help provide relief funds and donations from viewers to various charities. If you can, even if you aren’t able to donate, it is still really good to watch.
25% of all donations go towards Save the Children - a cause nobody can say is complicated.

tuning in to the p4a this year realizing how much of a sacred time this is. it's an invitation to turn our full attention to injustice and those fighting against it. it's a time to celebrate & support people doing real, concrete good in the world. it is a time for radical hope and community action. it is soul-healing

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.
-Kate Elizabeth

I was able to make my first ever P4A donation this year, and I'm very much looking forward to seeing @sizzlingsandwichperfection-blog and @edwardspoonhands go to Rax.

H...how did you make the logo uncentered in both ways, its offset to the left when viewing the blog and to the right on the little thumbnail avatars
The short answer to your question is that I am a genius. I am real tired of people on this web site thinking their reductive critiques of my work are actually true, and failing to notice the true and deep well of genius from which I operate, which allows me to do things like make logos off-center in different ways depending on where you are seeing them. This is called GRAPHIC DESIGN. If it were an OLYMPIC EVENT, I would win the gold medal.
An off-center logo catches the eye. Then it opens the heart. Then it moves the soul. Then people donate.
Just to reinforce my graphic design skills, I made a gold medal for myself.

Don’t vote for Nanowrimo for P4A
youtube
With Project For Awesome fast approaching and Nanowrimo receiving $224,674.11 from the organisation since 2014, I produced this video containing the allegations levelled against the ‘charity’, and some documentation of the alleged abuse.
But in summary: don’t vote for Nano for P4A. Vote but vote for others. This ‘charity’ doesn’t deserve any of its money.

hello, it's me, a random small tumblr account here to bring you some interesting details about a potential candidate for project for awesome and why you should Not be voting for them.
project for awesome is happening this year from february 16th to february 18th, so this is exactly a month ahead to warn you why you should not be voting for a potential candidate, the nanowrimo organization.
they have been a candidate over the years and they do not deserve being a candidate at all especially with their more recent fbi cases and child predation issues. the constant endangerment of the userbase is frankly ridiculous, and the amount of testimonies i can find and the amount that i have had to make myself is outrageous.
here is a short video that goes briefly into each of the issues and allegations [some of these are not confirmed and are only allegations or speculations. some of these i have seen firsthand. the information in this video is provided at random and some has more evidence then others] that the nanowrimo organization has had [there is a trigger warning at the beginning for child abuse, assault, predators, racism, ableism, terrorism, bombings, abuse]
youtube
issues and allegation including child grooming [from both mods and unchecked users who were creeps], incompetent moderation, emotionally abusing position of power over minors, banning and silencing users who would try to speak out, ableism, making light of terrorism
all this and it isn't touching on half of the firsthand accounts and the rampant racism and bigotry that was allowed on the nano forums, both for the young writers program and the official nanowrimo forums
if anyone wants screenshots, firsthand accounts, the child predation callout twitter thread, the tiktoks, or tumblr posts feel free to reach out to me or ask for them in the comments. i have so much shit on and against this organization it's not even funny
