7. “What does it mean to be Geek?” by Jynx Black
YouTuber JynxBlack13 reflects in a very personal way on what being a geek has meant to him over the years, and what it means in the larger sense of the community. I can’t help but agree with what he has to say. For me, being a nerd has always been intimately connected with my own creativity, and an overall defining force in life.

8. Heroes and Villains Who Aren’t Using Their Powers Right
I haven’t had much exposure to many of these heroes, but they make some good points in this article. Why doesn’t Wonder Woman take some time off to fix the justice system? Maybe she’s too busy starring in movies that I’m told are awesome. Who’s seen it? I’m excited for it, I hear it’s great!
