I reblog this every time it comes up on my dashboard, not because it is a “rule” but because every time I see it the love and sincerity on her face hit me all over again and I think everyone deserves to see that.

And THIS is why I adore Catherine Tate. She’s loud and brash but in quieter moments… her soul comes shining through and it makes everything about her so much more beautiful.

I made my own print of this piece and framed her. Just in love with how it came out. Good to know when I next list prints. #painting #tiara #artprint #girl #purplehair #positivity #empowerment

Q: I just read an article on Buzzfeed; in it, Shira Lazar suggests that Vlogbrothers could logically become a paid subscription channel because of the devotion of Nerdfighters. What are your thoughts on this?

asked by bramtic

(Rebloggable by request.)

A. That’s nice of Shira to say, but why would we do that?

Let’s say that you’re a nerdfighter and you’re living in poverty. (Lots of nerdfighters are.) Why would I exclude you from the community just because you don’t have access to the same resources as someone who is wealthy? That would go against the inclusionism that’s the core of nerdfighteria.

(I’m not just saying this in a feel-good, altruistic way: It would also be a terrible business decision, because at some point in the future you will probably not be poor, and you will be able to support our work by contributing directly or buying a poster or a book or an album or whatever. But you will never know that you like the stuff I make if you were denied the opportunity to watch it in the first place.) 

What makes a lot more sense to me is going to the community and saying: Hey, some of you can pay for this and some of you can’t. That’s cool. If you can pay for it, please do, and in exchange we’ll be able to turn off ads for everyone, which is nice, because ads are gross and annoying and I hate them. If you can’t pay, that’s okay, too.

YouTube’s apparent forthcoming paid subscription model isn’t built like that at all: It’s built to be exclusive and paywalled, which I don’t think works for creators who want to build the awesomest possible audience.

This is a much better explanation of what I’m trying to do in our own arts community. If you can give a few dollars, please do! Then everything can be available for everyone, and I can still get groceries. 

Something to remember is it only works if you participate. Be honest….we can all go without a cup of coffee, or a Kind bar, once a month. I will, if you’re ready to crowd source this way. I’m totally willing to pay for content (or barter, when funds are low). 

Come help me shape the new economy. What of we changed the way ecourses/offerings were presented? What if we all gave a little so everyone could benefit? It only works if you get involved. www.journalgirl.com #artjournal #artist #crowdsource #creativewarrior #mixedmedia #illustration #journalgirl

I haven’t done one of these in a long time….so hi! I really love how this page came out! 

Pages in Progress…

Thanks for the journal page love! I get so tickled pink when someone posts my art here on Tumblr!

In case you missed it! John’s appearance on the Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson is up on youtube! Skip to 27:45 in to see his interview (and make sure to watch through until the end of the show)! YAY!

This feels like watching a friend go on TV and we all get to go with. That’s the nature of vlogging, I think, that intimacy because we see them every week, at least, and can be ourselves. This gives me more courage to keep fighting the good fight, and makes me so proud to be a Nerdfighter.
