It's Thursday, I'm tired, let's get some comics-y superhero-y goodness!
Dora Reads is the book blog of a Bookish Rebel, supporting the Diversity Movement, bringing you Queer views and mental health advocacy, slipping in a lot of non-bookish content, and spreading reading to the goddamn world! :) (All posts may contain Amazon links, which are affiliate, unless marked otherwise.

Friday Fics Fix - There Was Magic Involved and Something Went A Little Weird
'green and gold: in my defense, stark, i actually didn’t mean to
green and gold: there was no malicious intent in this'
I love this fic, it's so random.
It's written entirely in chat/text messages, and I literally laughed more than once.
I mean, Iron-dad and Spider-kid with some fluffy FrostIron tossed in for the hell of it?
Hell yes!

Nerd Church - Is This A Book Blog, Though?
...aka she's back on that existential crisis train again.
Is Dora Reads a book blog?
I mean, yes. But...
Is it, though?
Certainly, I've been calling it a book blog for the past 8+ years, but that doesn't automatically make it one, does it?
I write very few posts which actually, actively, talk about books.
My last review was some time last year, (a mini-review of Klara and the Sun, which you can see here, if you're interested - gotta get that self-promo in!) and I rarely write book lists or discussions.
(For the record, I always intend to write more reviews, and even more lists and discussions, but life has this knack of getting in the way... 😅)

Nerd Church - Is 1.5 Still Alive?
Warning: this post may have a negative affect on people who experience Climate Anxiety
As part of the 2015 Paris Climate Agreement, the world made a commitment to stopping the rate at which the world was warming at 1.5C by the end of the Century.
...Which was always going to be a big ask, because, sadly: people.
People and capitalism and governments and big oil and all of that.
