@hankgreen.bsky.social The Nerdfighters are here at @enchanticon.bsky.social

A selfie of me at EnchantiCon. I am wearing a mask and dozens of buttons pinned to a shirt. I am showing off my arm, which bears a temporary tattoo of Hank Green’s head and shoulders.

I finally parted with my 27x40 TFiOS poster (from my first P4A) when I moved cross-continent. My friends wanted the frame so the poster might still be in it? Or may have been tossed. She did me well through high school 🫡

I’ll never forget seeing y’all in Dallas on the movie tour as a teen. I yelled to Halston that she looked beautiful as she pulled away in a limo. She yelled back that I looked beautiful, too. I was tomato-red from the heat and wearing an og Pizza John shirt. Thanks for the stretch, Halston. So sweet

These moments remind us that Texas has always been more than the story told about it.

We envision a state defined by agency, resilience, and the right to dissent.

medieval pride parade!

a medieval style digital drawing showing a group of people surrounded by an ornate gold border. On the left, there is a brown woman with long, curly brown hair, smiling and looking to her left with her hands thrown up. She’s wearing a purple dress with gold trim, a trans flag cloak, and a flower crown in the lesbian flag colors. She’s holding hands with a Black woman to her right, who has short, curly black hair with a flower in the lesbian flag colors tucked into it. She’s wearing an orange bliaut with purple lining and gold trim over a pink underdress. In the center, there is a tan man with long, wavy grey hair and a beard, holding up a large progress pride flag on a gold flagpole. He has a chain of gold with rainbow leaves in his hair, and he’s wearing a long teal tunic with purple and blue sleeves and a rainbow inset at the chest. Next to him is a brown nonbinary person with medium brown curly hair, smiling with one hand on their hip. They’re wearing a chaperon in the nonbinary flag colors over a purple belted tunic, grey hose, and brown boots. To their left, a woman is throwing up a peace sign, wearing a bi flag cloak and a pale green dress with a leafy belt. Her hair is braided and has flowers in the bi flag colors tucked into it. There’s a white dog on the grass in front of the people, wearing a rainbow jester collar, and there’s a pigeon flying above everyone with a trans flag ribbon in its beak. There’s a rainbow in the background. The border is filled with scrollwork and flowers in the colors of various pride flags, as well as two smiling rainbow dragons with trans pride wings facing each other at the bottom, and a smiling frog to either side.

Turns out when you are driving to the train station at 6am on a Saturday, the local radio is playing hella weird Quebecois music. I was jamming.

I finally got my Hanklerfish! Majestic. #p4a

A canvas painting of a Hanklerfish. The background is black with wispy stripes of blue, pink, and orange. It looks like a desert night with neon beams lighting up the sky. A bold Hanklerfish is painted in silver.

will i ever make money from making art? probably not much

but will i make people on tumblr feel emotions and simultaneously compliment me and curse at me in their reblog tags? yes

and i think that's what it's really about

At first I thought they were referring to Question Tuesday (the day that John answers real questions from real Nerdfighters) and I was like "wait that's kind of a deep cut" then realized they meant Hank's Entire Presence On The Internet

The delight on the faces of these people as they strip away the rights from a tiny, persecuted minority. It's no different to every racist, sexist and homophobe celebrating their own hate.

In my first year of college, my church choir director drove his music students 2 hours each way to see a concert of Hildegard von Bingen music. He made sure we were all Bingen stans.
