Ok, so the one and only caveat… The two and only caveats I have for the “Be Who You Are” advice are: Be Who You Are does not excuse asshole behavior. Be Who You Are does not excuse inappropriate behavior. I do not necessarily include inappropriate behavior with asshole behavior, but they can be very… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #449 – The Limits on “Be Who You Are”
Ok, so over the course of my life, I have have met many, many people who when they find out that I am a giant nerd tell me things like, “Man, I loved comic books when I was a kid. But I had to give them up when I became an adult.” Or, “Yeah, I… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #448 – Be Who You Are

First, I had a really good time, in spite of a migraine on Saturday. I went back Sunday and got to see a ton of people I’d missed while huddling on the stairs waiting for my ride.Sunday I went a little over budget in the exhibition hall, well, in Artist’s Alley. I bought several comic… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #446 – Emerald City Comic Con 2018

Ok, so one of my beefs with comics, is the repetitive plots. Like it’s the same six plots recycled over and over. If a character/group is lucky they’ll get a whole three plots they get cycled through. But right now I would like to talk about “FOREVER ALONE!” Otherwise known as “Lone Wolf Syndrome.” And… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #444 – A Few Less Lone Wolves, and a Few More Papa Bears
Ok, I would like to provide some commentary for my fellow Mayonnaise Americans who may be less than aware of a lot of the discussions surrounding race that I have made a point of finding and eavesdropping on in order to learn. This, therefore, is to be considered a White Person’s Guide to Conversations in… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #443 – More Thoughts on Black Panther
OH MY GOD! YOU GUYS!!!!! IT IS SOOO GOOD!!!!! I have to admit, I pretty much think this is the best Marvel movie so far. The writing, the casting, the art direction, the costumes… everything. It ran with the basic plot of Don McGregor’s run of Black Panther in the 1970s, and it updates beautifully.… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #442 – Review: Black Panther
You get a short post today, not because I actually celebrate this holiday. But because no one in geek-dom has said anything egregious in the past few days, and I’ve spent an awful lot of time with the rant button stuck down. But for all of my geeks out there, what I really want you… Read More Happy Nerd-entines!!!!!
So, yeah, I’m still doing demos for Green Ronin. And as part of doing demos, they sent me a lovely t-shirt. But I don’t wear it for the demos, and I have reasons. When I demo games, I very purposely dress “like a girl.” Meaning, I wear more feminine shirts, I wear jewelry, I wear… Read More Geek Girls Rule #441 – Why I Dress “Like a Girl” when I Demo Games
