I will attack Jeremy’s post suggestions on the Patreon later, but those of you who played in my Monster Mavens game at last year’s ACNW know how I feel about K-Pop contracts, but the music’s not bad, and the videos have some amazing production values. Anyway, Cats. I have cats in common with so many… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #581 – Cats. Because I said so.
So, I have successfully resisted the lure of Prime Day through two mechanisms. 1. None of the sales are particularly great. 2. Belligerently reminding myself that waiting two days to order something from Amazon in order to support the striking workers who want Amazon to pay them a living wage will not kill me.

For years I got Rip Torn and Rip Taylor confused, because Rip Torn was a relatively serious actor with a ridiculous stage name, and Rip Taylor was a ridiculous actor/comedian with a relatively normal name.

It’s usually 4 or 5 games per two slots and runs from roughly noon to midnight at someone’s… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #576 – State of the Geek/Magic German Tights
And, in what is sure to be a surprise to most of you, I am not talking about any particular stupidity on the internet.

Like a lot of my fellow Nerds, I can be a bit of… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #575 – Hush Little Pedant, Don’t Say a Word…
I am about to make someone super unhappy. Because in addition to my, I’m sure, original unsatisfactory to them response, I am about to dissect their comment here to really get into the meat of several assumptions they make and why they’re wrong. Ok, first, the comment in question: My problem is that what I… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #574 – Gatekeeping, Internalized Misogyny, and You
Ok, so I am actually an HR Lady. I’m certified and everything. There are a lot of things that people can do to help themselves get interviews and land jobs. Now, it would be nice if all nerds could land a nerdy job, but there are far too many of us and nowhere near enough… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #573 – Geeky Interview/Job Search Tips
So, in the eternal quest to get the migraines to take a hike, I’ve been exploring options for reading ebooks. And I was messing around on the Amazon site, poking at Kindles.
