Month In Review(s) - July 2023

Warning: this post briefly discusses Depression


July. Ugh.

Well... let's look at the positives.

Once again, nobody in my life - either human or animal - died, almost died, or had a life-changing diagnosis.

Which is a low bar for a win, but that's the bar that I have - so it's a win.

Nerd Church - And Yet

 

Honestly, I have no idea. This is one of those posts that just kind of... happened. 😅

General Content Warning for... I don't know. The state of the world? You'll see.



Title: And Yet. Background: black marble or granite slab


It can feel like you're shouting at the clouds, with the world burning down all around you.

...Who made the world this way, do you know?

Because all we're doing is fighting within systems in systems in systems - and all it does is benefit those few at the top, who've always been well off.

The only division that should matter is between love and hate - and there is a right answer (hint: it's not hate.)

I don't understand how the world can be so beautiful and wonderful and yet...

And yet.

'The crew stared at him, and at Lucius behind him who was gesturing emphatically at the leather pants.'

This fic made me laugh - and I think we could all do with that, yeah?

(Well, it's what we're getting!)

Nerd Church - Watching Tennis With Depression

 

Warning: As you probably figured out from the title, this post discusses Depression.

Disclaimer Time: I'm not any kind of medical, psychological, or mental health professional. These are my own experiences - nothing more, nothing less.

I love watching tennis.

Like I love it.

It's the one sport that I've followed regularly and consistently since I was a kid.

And for a British kid, there's nothing bigger in tennis than the Wimbledon Championships.

Friday Fics Fix - Solid SamBucky

 

Warning: this post briefly discusses PTSD/mental health problems



'The storm begins while Sam is away. Which means that Bucky is left to fend for himself in their empty apartment...'

 





We all need some solid SamBucky emotional/mental-health-based Hurt/Comfort every now and then, right?

...I mean.

We all know it's true.
