Month in Review(s) - February 2018
You remember, in January, when I said I was getting the hang of the whole life-balance deal-y?
Yeah... well, regular service has resumed. My life is back to Milo-Murphy's-Law-levels of randomness.
If you haven't seen Milo Murphy's Law, this is what I'm talking about:
(Warning: flashing images)
...I relate so hard it scares me.
Typical example: I had a scratch on my hand. Not unusual?
It was from the cat. Still not that odd?
It was because the cat was squirming, trying to stop me, from stopping him, from climbing into my big brother's sling (which he was wearing at the time,) which he has because he broke his arm roller-skating.
This is my life.

Nerd Church - The Value of Reading
Why should we value reading?
Because it's important. Because the literacy of teenagers in the UK is Not Good. Because reading opens the mind to new ideas, new perspectives, other cultures.

Friday Fics Fix - Shuri, Girl-Genius
If, like me, you're currently obsessed with all things Black Panther, and want MORE dammit! - then you're in luck.
This week's fic is, indeed, more from the characters from Black Panther - and, more specifically, Shuri.

Comics Wrap-Up - You're Gonna Hear Me Roar
Firstly, my dearest nerdlets, Happy St. David's Day/Dydd Gŵyl Dewi Sant Hapus! You can check out some Welsh-language music in a blogpost I wrote on Sunday to celebrate.
Yes, I have now seen Black Panther! It was totally awesome-ful! XD (And most of what I have for you this week is Black Panther-related!)
And this week is one of those weeks where everything I have for you comes under the 'other stuff' category. Blame Loki. #AlwaysBlameLoki

Anxiety vs Blogger
(Warning: This post is about depression and Anxiety, and the demonstration of a negative thought spiral.)
First off: I'm OK. I've had a rough-ish few days (not too bad, but bad enough,) but I'm OK.
There is no need to worry about me.
Sometimes, much as blogging has saved my life, it can contribute negatively to my mental health.
I don't need to take an extended break - honestly, I'm fine. I love blogging just as much as I ever have, and, overall, it's good for me.
And the problem wasn't really blogging - it was the Anxiety.
But I did need to 'write it out.' This is the result of that.

Nerd Church - Some of My Favourite Welsh-Language Music
It's St. David's Day/Dydd Gŵyl Dewi Sant on Thursday, so I figured I'd give you guys some of my favourite Welsh-language music to listen to :)
I originally wrote this list on Twitter, for Welsh Language Music Day/Dydd Miwsig Cymru, on 9th February/Chwefror - but it's a pretty good list, if I do say so myself, so I thought I'd share it here too.
(And yes, I love Yws Gwynedd - they are most definitely Roc a Rôl as far as I'm concerned 😎)
...in case you hadn't noticed! Lol.
