Nerd Church - A Short Intro to Parkinson's Disease and Parkinsonism
Parkinson's Disease is horrible.
This degenerative neurological condition has no cure, and its affects are often devastating.
That's not to say that people with Parkinson's can't manage it - especially in the early stages. But it's not something to take lightly.
People associate Parkinson's with tremors - and yes, that's a key symptom, but it's so much more.

Friday Fics Fix - Wooing, Midgard-Style
'"I always have to wonder about it, you know?" Loki whispers one night as they're eating take out and watching a television program.
Tony looks up from his food, "Wonder about what?" he frowns.
"Yeah." Loki nods, but doesn't continue talking.'
OK, this is take 2 of this post, because it actually effing published itself on Wednesday.
My luck, sometimes guys, my luck.
Obviously that version was deleted (the deleting was done with the accompaniment of me squealing 'ahhhh!' quite a bit.)
You don't need to see my drafts. It's not a good thing. 😅
So, this fic.
This fic is random af. And you all know that that's just the way I like it! 😉

Dammit!
If you have a Friday Fics Fix on your feed readers (or whatever you're using,) ignore it.
Damn thing published itself while I was writing a draft! Argh!
(I literally mean it published itself. I was effing typing at the time! Argh, my luck!)

This short list of comics features romantic relationships ranging from the sexy to the innocent, and ladies who have their own unique personalities and situations.
Available to read online (for free!) or in printed form, let these ladies bring a little love to your lives!

Nerd Church - Embrace Procrastination (Ft. #Science)
I'm procrastinating right now.
There are about five different things that I need to do at the moment. And I'm not doing any of them.
Instead of sorting out various work stuff, or writing the Friday Fics Fix post that I (hopefully) posted last Friday, I'm writing this.

Friday Fics Fix - Coming Out Aro
'This was the perfect opportunity to come out. These were the people who deserved to know, if anyone did... But what if? Part of him whispered. What if they don’t accept you? What if everything goes wrong?'
