Sunday we went to see Deadpool 2. I loved it and totally get why other people didn’t. There were an awful lot of dick jokes. Vanessa gets fridged at the beginning. An awful lot of dick jokes. TJ what’s his butt, who, while funny, is a terrible human being. Honestly, I almost didn’t go because… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #469: Review – Deadpool 2
This is for my cosplayers, and/or my girly-girls. So, I read this article about how this engineer listened to his wife and her friends complaining about tights and pantyhose, then really looked at them and realized that they weren’t well-designed at all, and that there was definitely room for improvement. Thus, Heist tights were born.… Read More Geek Girls Rule #468 – Review: Heist Tights
So, this is another thing I love about Fanfic that I haven’t really talked about before, the fact that people can take the same character and that character’s canon and come up with completely different interpretations of that character’s motivations. I mean, in the first place there is the fact that consuming fiction is a… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #467 – Why We Do It: Fanfic Part II
I’m actually listening to this through Audible, because I got a deal through Amazon, and while I own the ebook, I wasn’t having a lot of luck finding time to just sit and read. So I used one of my credits to get this and start listening to it on one of our 3 hour… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #466 – Review: Nnedi Okorafor – Who Fears Death
I’ve probably written about this before, but there’s another facet of this that’s come up in recent years. Your gaming group moving away, and away away. The Seattle area is a pretty vast, sprawling, I dunno, metroplex? There’s Seattle proper, which keeps expanding. Then there’s all the suburbs and neighborhoods that are still kind of… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #465 – Gaming as Grown Ups

Yesterday, everyone who supports this blog helped pay for the vet appointment that gave us hope for saving the Enemy of Sleep in a way that will cause a minimum of distress. Thank you, very much. In specific you paid for the lab work to… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #464 – Why the Thanos Thing Bugged Me So Much I Couldn’t Let It Go
The BGFITW and the Martian took me out to see Avengers Infinity War Saturday for my birthday. Ok, I was trepidatious as fuck about this one, because as with Civil War, this is not one of my favorite storylines. Seriously, guys, there are soooo many, much better storylines to choose. Ugh. Basically, it was meh.… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #463 – Review: Avengers Infinity War
Ok, first, go to the SocialJusticeLeague page for the article How to be a Fan of Problematic Things and read it. I’m just going to quote the main points of the article, because I don’t think I can say it any better: Firstly, acknowledge that the thing you like is problematic and do not attempt… Read More Geek Girls Rule #462 – A Refresher Course in Liking Problematic Things
“Men are afraid that women will laugh at them. Women are afraid that men will kill them.” – Margaret Atwood Ooookay… So this is a thing I was hoping never to have to talk about again, but some InCel douchecanoe felt the need to run over women in a van because he wasn’t getting any.… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #461 – GamerGaters, MRAs, PUAs, and InCels.
One of the problems I have doing this blog is that I often don’t realize that several of my interests are actually geeky. I mean, yes, comics, the MCU, gaming (video and roleplaying), being into SF/F, and a little bit being into Horror. But periodically I’m surprised when people tell me something else I like… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #460 – What Counts as Geeky?
