The $10 Revolution is an idea to transform the relationship we have to online media. The idea is this:
Set aside $10 of your budget a month. Just $10.
Then use that $10 to directly support creators you enjoy in whatever way you see fit. Maybe that means donating $1 to 10 different creators’ Patreons. Maybe that means subscribing to someone on Twitch for $5 and using the rest as a direct donation. Maybe that means giving the entire $10 to your favorite creator, and letting everyone else go.
But imagine the change if everyone set aside $10 to support their favorite online creators. If everyone who watched that tiny YouTube channel supported with $1. If everyone who read your favorite webcomic gave $1 a month.
Suddenly, an artist who has 300 fans has a legitimate source of income.
A YouTube channel with only 1000 subscribers might be able to sustain itself.
And the reliance on the ad-free model of media, where creators have to make clickbait to even have a chance of being seen, starts to end.
The $10 Revolution is not an idea, but a call to action.
Set aside just $10 a month, and ask your friends to consider doing the same.
Let’s see what we can do.
#10DollarRevolution
I’m in a position where I might have to give up on freelance art and go get a full time job soon, which means losing the freedom to work on my books, comics, and other projects. If one tenth of my tumblr followers pledged $1 a month to my Patreon, I wouldn’t have to do this. So yeah, this is a good idea.
For real like “I love Sakura that’s why I want her to be in a relationship with a guy who was never interested in her, rejected her, tried to kill her, and won’t even kiss her after being separated for over a decade” like guy really are you sure
any other cool autistic peops have issues with people just expecting u to magically Know how to do something u have never done before
like if ive never, say, made an appointment at a place before, or some cooking process ive never attempted before, just some mundane task im doing for the first time my mom expects me to already know what to do or just figure it out while doing it & make no mistakes & i ????? donut understand that. like i guess its tasks that r usually simple & normal for allistics/neurotypicals but if ive never done it before how am i supposed to just know what to do
& then of course it ties in with the Vague Instructions thing bc i need specific step-by-step instructions if im doing something new & she will just tell me vague shit & get annoyed if i dont get it right away
Idk why you’d give a dog fruit but cool! Here’s some safety tips.
“Idk why you’d give a dog fruit” because dogs love fruit and it’s a 100% healthier alternative to baked treats
DOGS ARE ALLOWED TO EAT BLUEBERRIES!! THE SWR FANDOM IS IN UPROAR!! “PROTECT THE BLUEBERRY 2K15″ BECOMES THE BATTLE CRY!!
Okay, but seriously:
Please Reblog, you might Save a Life.
Not just the life of a dog, but also the life of its human(s). Many people have therapy dogs. If they inadvertently lost their dogs because they do not know these facts, they might get into depression and that might not end well.
looks more like she has been covering her ears to not listen to anything he had to say so he had to punch the wall to finally get her attention…
im a little bit confused, are you analyzing a stock photo used for an article from a satirical online magazine?
let’s all just take a moment to appreciate how a completely fictional man can exhibit abusive behavior in a hypothetical universe that exists solely to mock this behavior and someone out there will still bend over backwards to defend him.
I think I’m a little resistant to the “Lance is actually a genius” headcanon because a. it implies that a character can’t be useful unless they’re super intelligent and b. part of Lance’s charm is that he’s not an expert in anything. He’s all about practical knowledge.
Like, listen, Lance could never fix an engine, but when something goes wrong with their ship in episode one, he knows exactly what the problem is. He can’t fight as well as Keith, but when they need to wreck those Galra ships on the Balmera, he comes up with a plan that’ll take out the most. He probably couldn’t write a code or do all the crazy math stuff Pidge does, but he can calculate the number of vargas they have to wait until they’re able to go into the Marmora base.
This is all practical. Lance doesn’t need to fix a ship, he just needs to know enough to tell Hunk what to fix. He doesn’t need to know crazy math, he just needs to know enough to know whether Coran and Allura are talking about a minute or an hour so he doesn’t get killed during a mission. And he doesn’t need to be an incredible fighter, he just needs to come up with the best way to stop the ships from taking off without hurting the Balmera– ie, close the door.
Lance isn’t a genius; he’s a creative little shit who’s good at asking practical questions: Do I need to know this or can someone help me with it? Would knowing this help someone else? and Is there an easier way to do this? He’s really good at knowing what he needs to know and putting things together based on what he has. Rover’s here, but Pidge isn’t with it and it’s beeping? Yikes, that’s a bomb. The queen seems to be out of a trance and says she didn’t mind control us? Must be that creepy snake I was asking about earlier.
He’s perceptive. He looks for simple solutions to difficult problems. He’s also really aware that he’s not the best at everything, so he uses any resource he has to his advantage, whether it be things in his environment (yo his fight against Hunk in the Depths was nice) or people. In the comics when Pidge has to fight a mind controlled team Voltron, she calls Lance a “top priority” because he has good range and is likely to team up with others. Lance actively seeks the help of others where he can and distances himself problems where he can’t so that he can come up with a different solution.
I honestly think that his biggest strength is that he’s not a genius. Because it makes him take full advantage of what he does have.
whenever people talk about primal urges half the time they’re talking about something sexual, but it’s like, sometimes you just gotta climb a flight of stairs like that, you know? it’s like my body is telling me, “buddy, five thousand years ago everyone would have bolted up stairs on all fours. it’s okay, it’s natural.”
Primal is sneaking out to your kitchen in the dead if night as your head swivels around checking for danger while stuff snack into your arms and standing stone still in the shadows whenever you hear something
