Geek Culture, conventions, social lives, philanthropy, fashion, interaction
This was a panel that we did at Norwescon this year. Now, the idea behind the panel was that we would talk about whether we were the kind of collectors who very carefully preserved their things in acid free liners and kept all of our action figures “mint in box,” or if we were the… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #366 – Collecting versus COLLECTING
Right. Look, we have finally moved into our forever home. We are unpacking things we haven’t seen in aeons. I’m starting to be able to fall into a writing routine, and I refuse to harsh my mellow by writing about a bunch of over-privileged jerks who can’t pull their heads out. And we are going… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #365 – Day 12 of Stubbornly Refusing to talk about Marvel’s Asshattery: Gardening Edition
No, not a review of the book chronicling Riot Grrrl culture, but instead, two game publishers sending out a call specifically for female-identified or other marginalized writers. Both Pelgrane Press and Green Ronin have put out calls for female contributors for their products. And I, for one, would like to thank them. Not only are… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #364 – Girls at the Front
Hi! Yeah, moving sucks. A lot. Soooooooo much. Anyway, because of moving I wanted to talk about a subject near and dear to the hearts of the household: Geek Decorating. So, we’re all adults, so we want our home to look somewhat sophisticated. However, inside we’re all about 13 years old, so the odds of… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #365 – Geek Decorating
Yup, I’m kicking that hornet’s nest. See, this is a thing that bugs the shit out of me. I get that it’s a symptom of the times, and the ease of access with which fans can interact with creators and performers. And I am not having a “You kids get off my lawn” moment here.… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #344 – Fan Entitlement
In spite of the head cold of doom’s best efforts, I had a good time at Norwescon. You may have noticed that I hadn’t been posting much for the last month, well, I had a little health issue. I had a kidney stone, that turned into an infection, that led to something else… I’m all… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #321 – Norwescon 2016
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 was going to review Ultron here, but I’ll do that later, because shit is blowing up about the latest Game of Thrones episode. But Geek Girl What Rules, you don’t watch the show, and you didn’t like the books enough to even finish the first one. What could you possibly have to say… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #314 – Yeah, yeah, Game of Thrones…
You all remember Fahrlight, the Loki cosplayer I interviewed on the podcast about a year or so ago, right? Well, her kitten is very ill and she needs help to cover his care. Please read her entry on tumblr. Please donate if you can. The poor little dude deserves a shot at a happy, healthy… Read More Geek Girls Emergency!
Hi! So, I’m going to try to be back, for real. You know, make time in the midst of all the other projects and commitments to do this blog thing again. I also need to find a new home for it, as my web dev is getting out of the business altogether. But that’s another… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #311 – Norwescon 2015 Wrap-Up
