Month in Review(s) - March 2017

March was difficult, guys.

My depression has not been good, and I had an awful cold.

So, between the two, my concentration was utterly shot. I also had a lot of work on, which I had to prioritise. (Because I need money.)

The result of those factors was that I only wrote/published two reviews in March (granted, I did publish plenty of other posts too.)

I have to admit that, as my own worst critic, I'm kind of disappointed.

Nerd Church - Brexit: What the Actual F**k?

The wheels of Brexit have turned further.

And I'm angry. Yes, downright angry. Because my future - our futures - have been ripped away from us.

I think I'm as angry now as when the referendum results first came through.

Seriously. Because not only is this country going ahead with this f**king stupidity, but people are still insisting that it's a good thing.

Friday Fics Fix - Mr Scamander

Once again, my nerdlets, I bring you a great piece of #ownvoices fanfiction.

Fanfiction is often the place where diverse stories can find a voice - which isn't always possible in mainstream media.

This fic is awesome. It's heart-wrenching, heart-breaking, but also spirit-lifting.

And it's supremely well-written. Simply put, it's beautiful.

Simply put, it's beautiful. Click to Tweet.

Comics Wrap-Up - Guardians, Spiders, and Justice!

Film Trailers


I really need to watch the first Guardians of the Galaxy film, because this new trailer for #2 has confirmed that me and Rocket Raccoon are well-matched personality-wise.

(Which is quite worrying, when you think about it...)

Hate Against Sexually Fluid People - Examples

(Warning: this post contains hate comments against sexually fluid people, biphobia, insults, and swearing.)

I'm tired of reading things about sexually fluid celebrities and finding hate comments, or coming across hate stuff on Twitter.

So I thought I'd give you just a little taste of some of the stuff that's said out there in interweb land about sexually fluid people.

Amazon Wish-List

Hi guys,


This is just a short post to let you know that you can support DORA, if you want to, by buying me a book via Amazon wish-list.

Absolutely no pressure! This is just an if-you-want-to thing.

Nerd Church - What Should I Talk About?

I didn't know what to write about this week. I mean, there's so much going on, and it's so difficult to find the words to talk about any of it.
