Nerd Church - America, You Got a Problem With Guns
(Warning: this post discusses the El Paso and Dayton shootings, and the American gun culture)
I'm sure this has been said time and time again.
While people are still out there dying, I will add my voice to that, time and time again.
America has a gun problem.

Friday Fics Fix - A Little Messed Up (In the Best of Ways)
'His coat came back, sooner or later. Wasn't sure. The time kept slipping between his fingers like loose sand, pillowing at his feet, in his ears. "-job, Sherlock; you did good," John was murmuring...'
Praise whoever may be out there listening that good quality fanfiction exists!
Really! It's out there! I'VE SEEN IT!!!!
*Ahem*
...I love well-written, nuanced, character-exploring, theme-exploring fanfiction. (You may have noticed.)

Month in Review(s) - July 2019
July was too goddamned hot.
![]() |
I spelled Gorffennaf wrong in the graphic - oops! 😅 |
I'm not built for anything past 23C, and it hit, like 31C.
I know to some of you who live in hotter places than the UK, that's nothing but... it's really not nothing to us!
I'm not a nice person when I'm hot - I'm grumpy af and just want to make the world suffer.
Also, I live in Wales. Summer is traditionally one big rain shower - WTAF with this heat?!

Nerd Church - Do We REALLY Value the ART?
I love Fine Art, and have done since I was a teensy babbi.
(Which slightly confused my parents who were expecting a child rather than an art, music, and literature lover, but anyways...)
I'm not so much of a fan of Modern Art, though, 'cos it tends to be either ugly or pretentious af - or sometimes both. Lol.

Friday Fics Fix - Rub-a-Dub
'Draco may have screamed (in a very manly and authoritative way, he later insisted to Harry) when he saw the state of the bathroom.'
Sometimes, with fanfiction, you only have two choices: fun and fluffy... or things you can't unsee.
I mean, I don't make the rules, I just read the fics.
