Ok, you’ve had Danielle’s review, which was awesome! She really hit a lot of the stuff I tend to gloss over. This bitch, here, wants to talk plot, context and comic canon. I also want to start out with, I loved Captain America: Civil War. Hooray to the Russo Brothers for creating a Civil War… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #324 – Review of Captain America Civil War
I talk about the Handmaid’s Tale by Margaret Atwood a lot. My most re-tweeted tweet was “Dear Republican Party, The Handmaid’s Tale is a dystopian SF novel, not a how-to manual. No Love, Me.” I blame it in part for my stationery hoarding problem. I reference it in talking about Bitch Planet. It’s kind of a… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #323 – SF Feminist History: The Handmaid’s Tale by Margaret Atwood
Ok, I love ThinkGeek.com as much as the next nerd with occasional disposable income. But sometimes, man… These images were on their “Valentine’s” email: Really? A scarf? While he gets the super cool Captain America shield backpack I’ve been coveting for a year? Sexist much? Now, to cut them some slack, on the page… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #320 – Really, ThinkGeek?
So, I’ve talked about this show in a few places now. Short: It’s brilliant. Now for the long version. Jessica Jones is, hands down, the best depiction I have ever seen of a sexual assault survivor dealing with PTSD and its assorted symptoms, like hyper-vigilance, flashbacks, nightmares and the like. Krysten Ritter is fantastic as… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #317 – Review: Jessica Jones
I don’t have a lot to dispute regarding Danielle’s review. However, I did want to talk about my own feelings regarding this franchise and world. I saw the original Star Wars in the theater when I was 6. I was Leia for Halloween the next year, and my sister and I had Darth Vader and… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #316 – Star Wars: The Force Awakens – GGR’s Review

Dan Savage, with whom I do not often agree, and his partner Terry have created a video aimed at LGBTQI youth called “It Gets Better.” The point of the video is that no matter how hellish things are, they get better once you get out of high school, but to get to that better you… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #140 – It Gets Better
Ok, PAX Pals, we need to have a little chat. See, Monday, I went to brunch at a friend’s house, and had a chance to chat with someone who works in one of the coffee shops near the convention center. You all are giving geeks a bad name. You need to fucking well tip. And… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #139: This is a Public Service Announcement
I limit myself to one day at PAX because the sensory overload is just too much for more than that. So, yesterday I dragged myself out of bed, and off we went. We got there at 9:00. I got Melissa set up in our gaming space to run Mist-Robed Gate by ten, and then went… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #138: PAX 2010 was AWESOME!
I need to start off this review by stating that I’ve known Mr. Bodewell, the curator of Sepiachord for a very long time. He is a good friend. I also know members of several of the bands on this compilation. But, as I’ve said before, if something doesn’t work, I’ll be honest about it. Now,… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #137 – Review: Sepiachord Passport
