Nerd Church - Spread a Little Love
You wanna change the world my nerdlets?
It seems like it needs some changing at the moment.
Between Trump's Muslim ban (yes, it is a Muslim ban, quit fooling yourselves) and all the other sh** going on right now, it can seem like there's no hope.
But that's not true - there's always hope.
Spread love... get it? 😄 |
So how can you change the world, right now?
Welp, you can spread the love.
Sounds simple, doesn't it? Well it is. And it isn't.
When everything's dragging you down, when the world is full of ill-feeling, spreading love and positivity can be the hardest thing of all.

Friday Fics Fix - Your Pal. Your Bucky.
'Bucky went town to town, dance hall to dance hall, picking up women despite his dull dancing shoes. His smile made up for it. He took Steve to the local ones, but he always danced away into the crowd. Bucky loved to dance.
Loved.
Back then Bucky loved a lot of things.'
What, did you really think that we'd reach the end of Pride Month (aka June,) without me rec'ing you some Stucky?! No way!
(Fangirling notes:
Rec'ing is recommending.
Stucky is a romantic and/or sexual relationship between Bucky Barnes and Steve Rogers (Captain America) - aka the relationship that Marvel needs to give us immediately.)

Nerd Church - A Short Intro to Parkinson's Disease and Parkinsonism
Parkinson's Disease is horrible.
This degenerative neurological condition has no cure, and its affects are often devastating.
That's not to say that people with Parkinson's can't manage it - especially in the early stages. But it's not something to take lightly.
People associate Parkinson's with tremors - and yes, that's a key symptom, but it's so much more.
