Yeah… I’ve had them intermittently throughout my life. They used to be triggered by my becoming dehydrated, or not eating for an entire day, and later Nutrasweet (aspartame). Now, apparently, it’s the moons of Saturn falling out of alignment. sigh But what, you may ask, do migraines have to do with geek stuff, apart from… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #508 – So, Migraines…
Ok, I was going to do this last week, but then the Arisia business happened, and I wanted to talk about that. I think I’ve probably mentioned that I spent a lot of time escaping from reality in books as a child and adolescent. Because of that, I have a tendency to get really wrapped… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #507 – I Might get a Little Too Attached to Fictional Characters
Sooo, the Arisia Committee has some ‘splainin’ to do, as I and a bunch of other folks wait for their response to the accusation by a former chair that they value the services of a rapist over the safety and services of his victim. I believe the victim. I stand with the victim. And I… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #506 – Arisia, I am Disappoint
I’ve talked about self care here before, because it’s important. And also because when you google it, you get a lot of pictures of candles, and bubble baths, and hot chocolate.

The wang in question… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #504 – Of Batwang and the Male Gaze
I have been watching horror movies since I was probably younger than was strictly wise, I’m sure. And I haven’t taken enough time to watch there recent ones, so this weekend I sat down to watch The Conjuring. This was little weird for me. I grew up reading the books of Ed and Loraine Warren.… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #503 – Review: The Conjuring
Ok, I admit to being a sucker for just about anything related to the old Harvey comics. Harvey Street Kids is a cartoon based around Little Lotta, Lil’ Audrey and Dot, who they’ve drawn as black, of which I highly approve. It’s a little young, but super cute. If you have younger kids, I’m pretty… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #502 – Harvey Street Kids
Today Google announced the demise of G+. I and an awful lot of people spend a lot of our social media time over on G+ because it is easier to curate who sees your posts and who you see, and it has the benefit of not being as popular as say, Facebook, which is full… Read More Geek Girls Rule #501 – The Death of a Social Media Network
No one volunteered their stories of nerd epiphanies, so I guess that means I’m blowing my cool fifty on something I can review here. Feel free to suggest things you’d like to see me review. The new job is blissful. I’ll just leave it at that. But the world is not. And one thing I… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #500 – And We’re Going to Get Real
The other night the Geek Husband What Rules, Martian and myself were sitting at the dining room table, when I saw a post with excerpts from Zeus Grants Stupid Wishes. Holy shit, you guys!
