What is the $10 Revolution?

10dollarrevolution:

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.

If one tenth of my tumblr followers pledged $1 a month to my Patreon, I’d be able to afford to live in my own place, rather than being stuck in a terrible situation… which would mean that I’d actually be able to dedicate more time and space to music.

One-tenth of my Tumblr followers subscribing to my Patreon with $10 a month could make up nearly my monthly budget/living expenses. Even a $1/month subscription can go a long way in aggregate.

One-tenth of my Tumblr followers giving me $1 on Paypal or $3 (the minimum amount) on Ko-Fi would also go a long way!

A third of my followers sending me 4 bucks a month would immediately allow me to make content full-time. For those who can afford to make them, little decisions like that transform content creators’ lives and the very face of the internet for the better. Every lil bit helps. Don’t underestimate your own power.

Completely Desperate with No Other Options

sentinelbait:

So I finally gave in a created a YouCaring fundraiser to help with my issue. Long story short: I was told that if my rent was not paid by the 6th, I am going to be evicted. Those of you who know me know my mother died in January and with her went any familial support I had. I was homeless for about 3 months but was able to scrape just enough by to get my first place, but due to an ongoing issues with my car I can’t make that payment myself until the 15th. Literally any amount will help right now; I’m desperate not to lose the first home I’ve had in a long time. Every penny will be greatly appreciated and any over will be returned or donated.

This Is What The Refrance: a new podcast!

whattherefrancepodcast:

Hi everyone!

This Is What The Refrance is a new podcast released every other Thursday, where your hosts (Alix, Blueberry, and Martine) (and guests??) take on the daunting task of consuming every piece of media referenced in the online multimedia epic known as Homestuck.

If you haven’t read Homestuck yourself, never fear! Episode 0: Introduction introduces not only your hosts and the idea of the podcast, but a quick overview of Homestuck (story, characters, and concept).

In this episode: introductions to ourselves, the show, and Homestuck;
Blueberry fearlessly leads us through the whole freaking cast; twenty
minutes of Martine’s audio get eaten by the podcast monster; Alix calls
Gamzee “a meanie,” which is definitely the worst thing he’s ever been
called.

This week’s episode, Episode 1, starts us off strong with the media referenced on page 1 of Homestuck: Ghostbusters (1984).

In this episode: we review Ghostbusters for its connection to Homestuck;
Blueberry wonders whether it would be Just to kill Venkman with her own
hands; Martine threatens to quit the podcast, and hates Venkman; Alix
has a cold and subsequently has to edit out herself sniffling
approximately a thousand times, and also wishes Venkman would burn in
hell.
CONTENT WARNING: Date rape/drugging is briefly discussed in a non-explicit manner.

Next week we’ll be exploring the Cthulu Mythos of H.P. Lovecraft, if you’d like to read along with us. Follow us on Twitter @WhatTheRefrance for new episodes and updates on what we’ll be covering in future weeks.
