This post and the next one or two are being posted out of order to address what is happening right now in the world. I’m just going to say it: If you do not believe that Black Lives Matter, or want to come at me with that “All Lives” crap, just go. I do… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #665 – A Rare Political Post
Hey, so in the big list of random shit going through my head right now, I’m really thinking of going ahead and reviving the GGR podcast over on Himalaya.

So this is sort of related to posts #398, #470, and #471. Respectively they are posts about the fact that in my head, growing up just means that you can buy all the shit you wanted as a kid, the geeky gardening post, and the post about poverty in fandom. Stay with me. So, because… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #472 – Geek Hoarding
So, yeah, this is a thing. If you go to SF/F conventions, particularly in the Pacific Northwest, you will find out that while a fair number of us are middle class or above, an overwhelming majority of PNW Fandom, are poor, or at least broke. There is a difference, but this is not what I… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #471 – Poverty in the Geek World
