If you’d feel comfortable doing it over vidchat, that is also possible.

I might be hormonal but this Sorting Hat Chat was so spot on about me that I started tearing up:
When things turn out well for a Puff it often comes as a result of those old investments culminating and giving back. Old debts might raise their head in a time of need. Communities the Puff has supported or built might marshal to their aid without even being asked. Their reputation might precede them, allowing them trust or the allowances that they need. They spend the time and do the work-- while a lot of the time that work may be invested in the people around them, it can also be invested in projects, systems, or organizations-- and that work, too may pay back in time of need.
Often overlooked, Hufflepuffs may be handed secrets, access, or tasks of monumental importance because they have developed a reputation that they can be trusted with them. This reputation is earned through a slow and steady process of hard work.

Lol, Hank and Katherine Green have a podcast where they just kinda discuss funny and weird stuff that happened on the twitterverse that week, called Delete This.
Anyway, Hank follows me on twitter and saw the financial houses of hogwarts and they discussed it this week:

They’re good people. I know hank through wizard rock/wizard activism, of all things. Don’t know Katherine except through the internet but excellent humans.

Not so secretly, Hank’s business model is like what I want for my life: educational media business that employs people and provides free quality content and then another business that makes physical goods that support small creators that donates all their profits (after paying employees a fair wage) to charity. And then, you know, side projects like running a global conference and playing wizard rock shows and writing a novel.
Obviously we’re in different niches and hank is like, umm 100000000% times more famous than me, but still, as far as people whose careers I admire for their breadth. - Hank Green, Benjamin Franklin, and Eleanor Roosevelt are my career models.

I feel like this is a very good insight into Who Lily Is.

Years ago I heard Hank and John Green talk at a librarian conference thing, and Hank was sharing how his wikipedia page kept getting deleted because he wasn’t considered famous enough. Apparently there was a comment along the lines of “just because you have a famous brother doesn’t mean you get your own wikipedia page”. This is back when they were doing VlogBrothers but before SciShow and a lot of Hank’s other projects. I have no doubt that you’ll create your own career niche that is at least as successful.

I get that lol. I’ve been watching vlogbrothers since the beginning (no I mean, I have been watching since early 2007 when like the average video got like 200 views) - before I even knew hank - and back then, John Green was a Prinz-award winning novelist (before Fault in our Stars though which went…massive) and Hank ran a tiny blog about environmental approaches to technology.
