August reached my bar for a good month
- which is admittedly so low it's practically touching the floor, but I'ma take it as a win 😅
Unfortunately, August was also pretty damned bad in terms of hay fever
- like, I've had hay fever a lot (more in recent years, because climate change,) but I've rarely felt this unwell with it.
So, yeah, that sucked.
Wales got it's first woman First Minister with Eluned Morgan.
...Which would be a lot more celebration-worthy if her predecessor, Vaughan Gething, Europe's first Black leader of a nation, hadn't been forced out after deeply unfair (imho) and personal attacks, which crossed the line into racism more than once.
So, mixed bag.
Eluned Morgan, btw, fully supported Gething until the end of his short tenure - so the blame shouldn't be placed at her door for this.
In other parts of the UK (England and Northern Ireland,) there were racist riots.
...So not a good look for the UK in general in August, racism-wise. *Sighs*
People suck sometimes.
My regular series (Comics Wrap-Up, Friday Fics Fix, and Nerd Church,) went on break in August, and I didn't post much all-in-all.
- I try to do that every so often so that posts don't start feeling like too much of a chore. 😅
All three are back in action now, though. So September's post-list will be a lot longer than this one.
