Comics Wrap-Up - Sometimes You Scare Me, But I Come Around To You

Nerd Church - Caffeinated Current Events: What Even Is 2019?
Caffeinated Current Events! Where I drink too much coffee and talk about the stuff going on in the world! That means Trump & Brexit, so this is your fair warning!
(It'll be as told by me, though, so hopefully bearable!)
Phew! 2019, couldn't you've gone just a little bit easier on us?!
Crud, after 2016, we've just had one thing after another! Cut us some goddamn slack!
...The US is currently being led by a man who, (and I never thought I'd say this,) has less integrity than Nixon.
How is that even possible...? Does anyone know...?
Nixon actually resigned when he got his hand caught in the sleazebag cookie jar - Trump's just flat-out lying and refusing to budge.
...And I don't think even Nixon would've got away with colluding with Russia and bribing Ukraine.
And somehow people still believe he's innocent and that there's some sort of 'conspiracy' against him - newsflash: if there's a conspiracy, it's for him, not against him #JustSaying.

Friday Fics Fix - No More False Starts
Sorry if you saw this post appear briefly yesterday. I hit the publish button instead of the 'save' 😅 - ok, let's resume our regular service:
'“How was deducing the relationship status of the entire jury relevant?”'
Well-written Johnlock!
Now that that has brought every M/M-loving Sherlockian's head up like a li'l meerkat, lemme tell you about this awesome well-written Johnlock I found!
(Fangirling notes:
Johnlock - John Watson and Sherlock Holmes (usually from BBC's Sherlock) having a romantic and/or sexual relationship.
Sherlockian - BBC Sherlock fan)

Oops!
If Friday Fics Fix appears in your feeds early, ignore it.
I pushed publish instead of save 😅
In my defence, the mouse slipped that time! Blogger really needs to put the buttons further away from each other!

Micropoetry - October 2019
Micropoetry time again dearest nerdlets!
(Yes, I realise that it's the 20th of November. I have time issues. 😅)
This month's offerings are maybe a li'l weird
...but it was October dammit! You can totally be weird in October! (*pretends I'm not weird all year round*) 😅
As always, for those using a screen-reader, the poetry is in the alt-text, with line breaks marked with a / symbol.

Nerd Church - Think Before You Speak
Social media.
Love it, loathe it, or (like most of us) find yourself somewhere in between.
Whatever you feel about the ol' socials, sh** escalates fast online!
I... kind of think that a lot of the escalation is related to people not having some sort of filter between their reaction and their mouths/fingers
- (talking and typing - I mean talking and typing. Minds out of the gutter nerdlets!)
