I get sad and want to talk to my brother too but he died. It will be 21 years on the 29th actually. I miss him terribly 😭😔 I'm sorry you're sad Hank but just be thankful you still have your brother around. It's truly a blessing. 💜🫂
My dad passed in August. When you're in that fresh grief stage, the unutterably sad lives next to the casual statement. It's hard to tease apart if you're not in the middle of it.
I feel you, my grandmother passed right before this last Christmas, she was more like my mother. I find myself still reaching for my phone to call her...so hard.
Wake him up Hank. He's your brother. He loves you. He would be so upset to know you let yourself be sad alone. These are dark times and he will understand. Call your brother. ❤️❤️❤️
where is this video? i cant find it anywhere. would love a link if youve got one or if it's taken down, a screen recording if available. (not saying i dont believe it, just would like to see what happened and make my own judgements)
i didnt at first either but i sorted by new and saw a few. tbh i didnt understand much of the science of it but after reading some threads and doing some googling, they do give out some dangerous information. which is pretty disappointing ngl
You can talk to me anytime, Hank Green. And I don’t mean that as some kind of weird flirtatious thing. I’m a reasonably intelligent 45 year old woman with a teen kid, and I have the sads as well.
Right? I couldn’t get up today and naturally made myself tea that was caffeinated and now I’m awake AND my tummy is weird. Plus my phone is trying to be bossy right this minute
That's the best time to bother your siblings. Besides when they're in the bathroom that is. Nothing gives a person more anxiety than being on the toilet and someone starts banging on the door and jiggling the handle/knob.
I’m sad too! Having the hardest day. Fruitless arguments on Facebook that I started with people saying God Bless America! We got our country back! It’s like we are in two different worlds! They don’t see it.
Hugs to you, Hank. I think there are quite a few sad as well. I texted with my sister earlier, she sent me a video of a screaming chicken. I've also said fuck a lot. Both have helped.
I start my M.A. this week and I had a really good day walking around and exploring Monterey and didn’t have the time to watch TV and I realized I don’t care.
The most brotherly thing to do would be to send a pestering series of messages (that are clearly non-emergency) to represent the brotherly shoulder poke and whispered, "hey…are you awake? are you awake?"
I get these messages from my sister. Usually "can you come and get the spider". From the other side of the country at 4am lol - not that I could get there even in the middle of the day.
Compassionate hug here.

Shoutout to all my peeps who are reading all the “aww I miss my [category of relative] too!” comments and feeling particularly sad because all of your family members got hoovered up by the extremism monster
While we wait for the AI to digest every johnschannel1007 transcript and spit out a chatbot, here is a thing that made me feel something in the realm of happy
It's not the same but you could write to him and send it to him when he is awake? But who am I to give advice to Hank Green. Hope you have a good night!

🙋🏻♀️ I already have an awkward, queer, nerdy sibling, but they’re super great so I’d definitely take another. I’m also all of those things. Welcome to the fam! 🏳️🌈
Samesies, except my brother and I have a better relationship now than when we were kids. But I’m willing to be a found sibling if you need more family.

It will be 16 years ago on the 7th, that I talked to my daughter. Somehow time keeps moving.
*He would have thought this was hilarious.
I miss him tons.
Sucks, but it is what it is.
I’ll talk to my dog 🐶💙

Gotcha.
Her name is toad, she’s blind in one eye and doing her best.
I hope you feel better Hank. You both do such amazing content. Best books
Hugs.
I knew that when I woke up, it would be the day the worst human in the world would take over the worl—I mean our country.
We’ll make it through tomorrow, putting one foot in front of the next.
We will push through and make this country better eventually.
It’s always been an imperfect experiment, and it always will be.
Positive change from ages ago will serve durable. On to the next.
There's nothing like a good yap sesh with a sibling that gets it.
Just don't wake him up.
Pretend he's there with you. People talk to themselves all the time. This is no different.
John: What is it, Hank?
Hank: Wanted to tell you it's time for your nap, John.
John: *long sigh with 4th wall breaking stare*

And plants.
You’ve also got two ears, so one can listen and one can ignore you. Which is the same as having an animals.
Or children.
