There really is only one story in comics this week - the death of Stan Lee.

Micropoetry - September + October 2018
Here's my Micropoetry for September and October!
I only wrote one piece in September, so I figured I'd combine the two months.
And, in an action that has surely broken the laws of physics and/or the time-space-continuum, I somehow managed to find time to make graphics for all three!
(I seriously suspect some sort of time-warp was involved. B/c how?!)
As always, for those with screen-readers, the poetry will be in the alt-text of the images, with / marks denoting line breaks.

Nerd Church - Remember Them, Too
I think it's important to remember, 100 years to the day after the end of the First World War, that marginalised people have always been part of, done their part for, and made the ultimate sacrifice for, this country.
When you remember those who served, remember that Black and Ethnic Minority (BAME) people, Muslim people, Jewish people, LGBTQ+ people, and many, many, other marginalised people, served this country too.
(I'm sure this also applies to other countries like the US, Canada, Australia, etc., but I can only speak for the UK here.)

Friday Fics Fix - Iron Can Be Cold, But Spiders Need Warmth
'Peter grunts. His eyes open only slightly, but it doesn't look like he understands where he is. The kid is like dead weight slung over Tony's metal-clad shoulders. He's also freezing cold.'
Let's have some Tony-Peter Father-Son-type-cuteness with a side of self-care, shall we?
I love that fics like this exist!
I also love that fics can take a random thought, like, for example 'what if Peter Parker has the same lack of thermoregulation as a spider?' and f**king runs with it!

Month In Review(s) - October 2018
Argh. October.
October was pretty much like the previous months - stressful, full of family worries, and working uber-hard.
My grandparents are both still in hospital. Life is still hectic.
Only October also managed to give me the gift of about four or five different colds. I'm one of those people who get colds on a rotating-door type basis. 😷

Nerd Church - Scream, America, Scream
I praise liberty
The freedom to obey
Is the song that strangles me
Well don't cross the line
Oh dream, America, dream
I can't even sleep
From the light's early dawn
Oh, scream, America, scream
Believe what you see
From heroes and cons
- Green Day, 21st Century Breakdown

My God, America.
Can you not see yourselves?
From where we're standing, in the rest of the world... we're scared. We're scared FOR you, and we're scared OF you.
We have problems of our own. Awful problems. We can't deal with yours too.
Your rights are being eroded, slowly but surely. People are suffering because of the policies your government has put in place.
