No, I haven't seen Black Panther yet - I'm going to go see it Monday, hopefully! :)
So on with the rest of this week's comics wrap-up:

Mini-Review! - An Untamed State by Roxane Gay
Author: Roxane Gay
Verdict:
This book is an open wound.
It is raw. It is powerful. And, somehow, it finds a way to be beautiful.

Nerd Church - America, Don't Blame Mental Health Problems For Your Useless Laws
(Warning: this post discusses mental health problems, stigma, and gun violence including school shootings.)
America - what the actual f**k?
Look, I'm probably preaching to the choir here - but in case any of you out there are pro-killing-machines - let me explain some things:

Look, I'm probably preaching to the choir here - but in case any of you out there are pro-killing-machines - let me explain some things:
- There are mental health problems all over the world
- School shootings aren't the norm in pretty much any country other than yours
- Your gun laws are the problem

Friday Fics Fix - Let's Be Random
I have the flu, so if I'm making even less sense than usual, then I totally blame that. 😷 😅
Every now and then, (or maybe a little more often than that,) I love reading completely random fics.

...The kind of fics where someone's taken one tiny detail of a fandom, and just kind of... run with it!

Comics Wrap-Up - If This Is What You Want Then Fire At Will
I'm writing this week's wrap-up with the flu. So if I say things that don't make any sense, just smile and pat me on the head, k? 😉

Micropoetry - January 2018
Yes, it's half-way through February. But when has that ever stopped me from doing a Micropoetry wrap-up? 😎
Here, then, is the Micropoetry I wrote in January:
(Quick warning: the one for 22nd January came out as more of a downer than I intended!)

Nerd Church - Rebel Valentine 2: Return of the Candy Hearts
(Yeah, no, I don't know where that post-title came from either! 😅)
Welcome to this year's coffee-fuelled, rule-breaking, kick-a** Valentine's Day* Nerd Church post!
(Those who read last year's post will know (sort of) what's ahead - those who didn't, hold on darlings, Cee's about to get on her soapbox, and possibly end up sharing TMI. But that's what she does.)
*Yes, I'm aware that it's not Valentine's Day until Wednesday. I'm doing my post now. Because I'm a rebel.
