Nerd Church - Don't Get Distracted By Shiny Balls
(Warning: this post contains details of the persecution of LGBTQ+ people, and references to the war in Syria, and the novichok poisoning incidents.)
Russia. At the moment there are balls flying everywhere.
And the media seems to have largely forgotten that Russia* has repeatedly had their names entered in the Naughty Book.**
Because they've really been doing a lot of sh** lately.
And we can't forget about that just because your team are kicking a ball around.
*By which I mean the Russian government and regime, not normal Russian citizens/people.
**Did you guys have a 'Naughty Book' and a 'Good Book' in infants/primary school? 😅 There was no bigger threat than having your name put in the Naughty Book! It had a frowny face on the cover and everything!

Friday Fics Fix - The Future Is Weird (Ft. Harry Potter)
'The tall Death Eater was wearing a shirt that said, 'Hermione Has Forgotten How To Dance,' so Hermione dipped his face in mud.'
OK, so this week's fic is a little bit different.
It's def. on the strange side, but there's a reason for that!
And all will be revealed *mysterious hand motions*
(I don't know what mysterious hand motions are either, just go with it.)

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.)
