Micropoetry - December 2022 + January 2023
It's still February, so this post is not late 😉
So, with no further ado to-do (...I don't know either,) let's get some Micropoetry.
As always, the poetry will be in the alt-text for those using screen-readers, with / marks showing the line breaks.

Nerd Church - The Roald Dahl Edits Are Capitalism, Actually
Warning: this post discusses general bigotry, as well as more detailed anti-Semitism and racism, and other related topics.

I'm Welsh, bookish, and a rebel - of course I'm going to talk about the Roald Dahl edits. 😅

Friday Fics Fix - It's SamBucky Time!
'“Like deja-vu?” Sam asks, confusion evident in his voice.
“Yeah but for the whole day.” They’re silent for a moment, Sam looking like he doesn’t know what to say, so Bucky tries again. “Like we’re in a time loop,” he says finally.'
You can find time-loop fics for pretty much any fandom, and The Falcon and The Winter Soldier (TFATWS) is no exception.
Though it isn't so much of a thing for TFATWS as it is for, say... the horror film Ready or Not. Where the fandom has decided that time loops will both be a thing, and be the primary premise of 80% of the fics available.
...Lol. I love fandom.
(If you're not sure what a time loop is, check out the TV Tropes page here.)

There is only one topic that I could see myself writing about this week.
The thing that has haunted so many LGBTQ+ people in the UK and beyond. The murder of Brianna Ghey.

Friday Fics Fix - A Beautiful Ball of Demons and Horror
'Yoon Hwa Pyung had no idea how to use a rosary.
When he came to on the pitching deck of a small fishing boat, salt in his mouth and sun beating down on his face, he registered distantly the feeling of beads digging into the skin of his left wrist, a metal cross dug deep into his palm.'
...I found it on Netflix and couldn't stop watching it dammit!
It's a beautiful ball of demons and horror and angst and hope and... argh! I loved it.
