i know people make these kinds of posts with fictional characters a lot but like. hank green truly is one of The Most Guys Ever. like. he's one of the earliest youtubers who is still on there. he's a 43-year-old tiktok star. he's a science educator. he got cancer and his response was to make a tier list of the press's coverage of his cancer announcement. the president of the united states sent him a message of support and he told the president that he was pissing out the cancer. years earlier he was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis and his response was to write a polka song about it. he created vidcon. he's the ceo of a company that produces a shitton of educational series (well, not acting ceo at the moment due to the aforementioned cancer). his guitar says "this machine pwns n00bs" on it. he invented 2D glasses. one of his earliest videos to get popular was about animal sex. between him and his brother, he was known as "the science one" (or "the music one") while his brother was "the writer one," and then he wrote two new york times bestselling novels. his most controversial opinion is that butt is legs. he's done so many things that there is a website dedicated to counting the number of days since he started a new thing. he and his brother use their internet following to (among other things) fight maternal/infant mortality in sierra leone. he has a baked bean furby. hes even bisexual

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

Could you record a short video about your experiences with Scarleteen?

Do you currently use or have you used Scarleteen for yourself as a young person, as a peer or adult educator, healthcare provider or other supportive adult, as a parent or guardian or in some other capacity? Are you comfortable being on video? Scarleteen plans to submit a video for Project For Awesome in 2025 and we’re asking you, the people Scarleteen has actually helped, for your help and participation in the video! Project For Awesome is an annual fundraising initiative that was started in 2007 by Hank and John Green, AKA the Vlogbrothers. During Project for Awesome, a plethora of organizations and individuals post videos advocating for causes that “decrease the overall level of world suck.” During P4A, these videos are shared widely; and over the course of a 48-hour livestream, a great deal of money is raised for the most popular causes. As an organization that has been working diligently to decrease the overall level of world suck for over 25 years, and has done so for millions upon millions of people all around the world, and who also is and has always been deeply underfunded, we feel like Project for Awesome is just the right place for us. Our goal with our video is to communicate the awesomeness of Scarleteen through your stories and your voices. We're asking you to capture yourself on video talking about your experience with Scarleteen so we can hear from you in your own words. Your personal experiences with Scarleteen will help us demonstrate that our work is vital, life-changing, has long decreased and continues to decrease the overall level of world suck, and in their words, is awesome.

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!

We don't live in the future, we live in the now.

We live in the "not yet".

We are here to be less alone and allow others to feel less alone

We do not live at the end of history, we live in the middle of history.

Today is not the end of the story, were at the middle of the story, and we have to fight for the better ending.

We don't know why we're here. We're here because we're here

John and Hank Green's transition to sleep content is not something I thought I wanted in my life and yet I am very much here for it

me talking about the vlogbrothers when I was 13: so John is the brother who writes novels, and Hank is the brother who does science stuff and writes music me talking about the vlogbothers now: so John is the brother who's obsessed with tuberculosis and was bullied off tumblr in like 2015 (he's back now but he's a coffee company) and Hank is the brother who is doing everything all the time forever (and also he had cancer he got better*)

I feel like I can just take my hand and like, put it into the car and then lift out the car and then make a small man with it.

I’m getting really good at this. @sizzlingsandwichperfection-blog

there are real people doing real things for others

This community has affected me by being there, by teaching me about the world. It truly proves that there are people who get excited about things that help other people and that people can truly do amazing things when they combine their efforts.

Sometimes it's just nice to know there are real people doing real things for others just for the sake of doing that, to decrease the ever growing world suck.

It even gives a smile on a sad day, and who doesn’t need that? What other community known to mankind celebrates puppy sized elephants while simultaneously doing good through its existence? None, straight forward and simple. I drifted far from my original point but I guess all that blabber was trying to prove a point.

This community changed my life and many others by simply existing.

Nerdfighteria, it's helped me cope and learn to love the fact that I myself am a nerd. Along with that, John and Hank have both taught me soooo much, and I’m glad I subscribed when I did (2009).

I’ve learned (mostly) life applicable things, trivial things, and how to safely put stuff on my head. I could make a much shorter list of things Nerdfighteria hasn't taught me. I’m very grateful for John and Hank for starting Nerdfighteria, and giving us all a community to share and love.
