Strange days are here to stay
Ever since Bowie died
It hasn't been the same
- Green Day, Strange Days Are Here To Stay
The world's weird, right now.
Maybe it always is, always was, always will be.
Still, I can't help but feel - and I know other people will agree - that we're in the middle of a particularly weird and wacky period.
The 2020s haven't exactly been an easy ride so far, and it looks like that isn't changing any time soon.
But whoever you are, wherever you are - keep going.
'He looked up at the sky and sent a question to the stars.
“Loki, are you there?”
No answer.'
This is a melancholy little story about love and loss...
...I ended up liking it a whole lot more than I thought I would.
(Just goes to show that taking a chance on something sometimes pays off.)

I'm cheating, this week.
I have rec'd this fic before - way back, in the ancient internet age of 2018 (and also in a few rec lists since then.)
YES! It has been a full ten years since the start of Dora Reads -
which back then was known as Diary of A Reading Addict, later shortened to DORA, which is how we got to Dora Reads (- and some people insist on calling me Dora even though I'm clearly marked as Cee everywhere *shrugs*)
- and somehow-or-other, through it all, I'm still here.
I don't usually write Nerd Church posts like this, but since Nerd Church isn't really tightly defined (...or defined at all, OK, I know,) I figured why not?
You may or may not have noticed that there was no Comics Wrap-Up (CWU) post, or Friday Fics Fix (F3) post this week.
- Which wasn't a planned break.
My life turned into another whirling ball of chaos this week, with my mother's health being very Not Good.
(Thankfully she's doing so much better now.)
