So, in post 253, I linked to the ShortPacked comic, where the female artist character demonstrates what Batman would look like if he were a female sexual fantasy instead of a male power fantasy. The reason that comic is so important, and so often cited, is that when we start talking about the sexualization of… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #255 – False Equivalency
Ok, so I bought this book the day after it came out, and then did not have time to read it until last week. Wherein, I devoured it in two days of bus commute, finishing it up over dinner while ignoring my husband and room-mates. I’m sure most of you already know what I’m… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #254 – Review: Midnight Blue-Light Special by Seanan McGuire
So, this article, “Own Up or Change Up – 14 Misguided Defenses for Misogyny in Games,” has been making the rounds, and it’s a pretty good if cursory article. And I posted it to the GGR Facebook page, which resulted in more bannings in one day than in the entire rest of the history of… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #253 – Seriously, Again With the Misogyny
Ok, so I did Norwescon this last weekend. And this podcast talks about how it went, how much fun I had, and one or two little road bumps that were all me.

Kel McDonald draws and writes the Sorcery 101 webcomic, of which I am a huge fan. She has several other projects going on, but this time I want to talk about Fame and Misfortune. Fame and Misfortune takes place in the same world as her Sorcery 101 webcomic, but focuses on completely different characters. Rebecca… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #252 – Fame and Misfortune by Kel McDonald
I did not, sadly, get a whole lot of pictures, because I was talking, or my stupid camera didn’t come up in time, or something. But I did get some awesome shots of various cosplayers during my time at the con. I also didn’t take down names, because I’m lazy. I DID ask permission, so… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #251 – Cosplayers at Emerald City Comic Con
I don’t typically go to Emerald City Comic Con, but through the generosity of some lovely and wonderful people, I went this year for Saturday. Highlights, getting to see my friend Rachel, and getting a copy of GI Joe #47 signed by Larry Hama for the Geek Husband What Rules. Mr. Hama was very nice.… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #250 – Emerald City Comic Con
Just got to get my fancy “Leaving the House” clothes on, and some make up, and I’m out! See you all there!!!!
I’ve been mulling this over for weeks. I’m fat. While to many people I don’t look it, I am in fact over the weight where most people think fat people are incapacitated by their fat and unable to function. I assure you this is not so. I, and many other fat people, are perfectly functional… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #249 – On Being a Fat Fan
