[tps_title]John and Hank Green[/tps_title]
This year I am thankful for John and Hank Green. John Green we all know as the brilliant writer behind Young Adult books such as The Fault in Our Stars and Looking for Alaska. He’s also one half of the VlogBrothers, a YouTube vlog that’s all about decreasing “world suck” and celebrating nerdy-ness. Hank Green is the other half of VlogBrothers and John Green’s younger brother. John and Hank have created the fantastic community, which they refer to as Nerdfighters or Nerdfighteria. John has said in a video before:
“Nerds like us are allowed to be un-ironically enthusiastic about stuff… Nerds are allowed to love stuff, like jump-up-and-down-in-the-chair-can’t-control-yourself love it. When people call people nerds, mostly what they’re saying is ‘You like stuff.’ Which is not an insult at all. Like, ‘you are too enthusiastic about the miracle of human consciousness.”
I am thankful for John and Hank because not only do they bring us tons of great content (TFIOS, Lizzy Bennet Diaries), but they’ve taught me to be proud of the things that I love. – Jenna Johnson
