Nerd Church - Happy Easter (or, Let's Respect Each Other, Yeah?)
Happy Easter/Pasg Hapus dearest nerdlets!

One of the most enduring symbols of Easter is eggs, dontcha think?
Chocolate eggs, painted eggs, eggs with chicks breaking out, eggs just randomly decorating everything!
But I've been noticing some egg-hate lately.
And I don't mean from Vegans - that's a whole different set of issues related to a different set of moral questions - nope, I mean from people who don't know much about history.

Friday Fics Fix - Easter in Haven
(Warning: discussions of chronic illness and ableism)
One of my favouritest TV shows of all time is Haven.
'Audrey and Nathan dashed into the Grey Gull, each imagining terrible scenarios. None of their fears involved Duke with a spatula in hand, staring at the bar.'
One of my favouritest TV shows of all time is Haven.
If you haven't heard of it, then I'm not angry, just disappointed (not in you - in Society in general! 😅)

Micropoetry - February + March 2019
I have a challenge for you for this Micropoetry post, dearest nerdlets! 😉
See if you can figure out what type of music I was listening to with each of these (there's only two, so it's not too bad!)
(This is just for fun, obv.)
I'll give you a clue: I was either listening to rap, emo, heavy metal, or opera.

Nerd Church - Give Me Gareth Thomas Over Israel Folau, Any Day
Those of you in parts of the world where rugby isn't A Big Thing™ probably haven't heard about the current Israel-Folau-homophobia situation.
For those people, here's a quick summary:
- Israel Folau is a world-class Australian international rugby player
- He's been warned previously about his homophobic posts on social media
- He did it again
- It's likely he'll be dropped from the Australian national team just before the World Cup because they ain't putting up with that sh** any more
- An English rugby player, Billy Vunipola, has also stuck his oar in
