Geek Culture, conventions, social lives, philanthropy, fashion, interaction
Hi! So, um, yeah… getting your gall bladder out kind of messes you up for awhile. But I’m feeling a lot better. Just did Norwescon, and it was spectacular. The only complaint about programming we got was “rooms too small, lines too long.” Rachel Edidin came up to be a panelist and rocked my earth… Read More Ta DA! I Return!
Ok, so life has been seriously intense. I’ve been working on a couple of different writing projects with a writing partner. The first one is nearly finished. We will be self publishing it on Amazon. I’ll let you know when. It’s smut with a plot. Lots of sex, but a decent plot to go with… Read More Hey, I live.
So, I got to come home and have what I thought would be an awkward conversation with my room-mates last night. “Yeah, friends of mine are being doxxed on the ‘net by GamerGaters, and I just wanted to let you guys know that it it’s probably coming for me, too.” They took it pretty well.… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #310 – Sure, it’s about ethics in gaming journalism
So, yeah, I’m old. I, in fact, remember the 1980s Satanic Panic, where everything from music to movies were tools of Satan just waiting to corrupt and destroy American culture and our way of life. One of the “victims” of the Satanic Panic was Dungeons & Dragons. According to Jack Chick’s “Dark Dungeons,” as well… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #308 – The 80s Satanic Panic and the RPG Industry
Hi! Long time no hear! I want to just warn you all that this podcast gets really angry toward the end. Also, I cry. Now some people will be all, “Ha ha ha! We made her cry! Victory!” If that is the case, your bar is FAAAAARRRRRR too low. Honestly, I cry at everything, all the fucking… Read More Geek Girls Rule! Podcast #36 – Geek Girl Con, Comic Books, and GamerGate
This post is mostly going to be POC. There were far more POC at Geek Girl Con that you usually see at conventions, which makes me happy. I mean, a lot of the conventions I’ve traditionally gone to are really, embarassingly, homogenously, white. I included group pics here if at least one person in the… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #307 – Cosplayers of Color at Geek Girl Con!
So, I did not mention here that I’d be at Geek Girl Con this weekend, however I did on twitter. But I was just, I have never recovered my verve for blogging since the years of abuse after the dickwolves bullshit, and I’m thinking this year’s GGC might have fixed that. I met some fantastic… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #306 – Geek Girl Con 2014 and More on Why I Hate Gatekeepers
So, this year at Geek Girl Con a bunch of us were going to Crosplay as an all women Capt. America and the Howlin’ Commandos. I was going to dress up as Dum Dum Dugan. Sadly, our ringleader will not make it, and due to a bunch of other bullshit, I don’t feel like I… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #305 – I Love Being a Nerd
You know, I was just commenting to someone that it had been MONTHS since the words cunt, bitch, rape, slut, whore or fat pig had shown up in my moderation queue, and I was thinking how NICE that was. Then this shit had to start. So, as I told the Geek Husband What Rules, I’m… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #304 – Gatekeepers are the Enemy
Ok, first, disclaimers. I’ve known Rachel for several years, she is awesome, smart, funny and pretty. And so is Miles. You might remember Rachel from Podcast #29, which was recorded in the lobby of Geek Girl Con two years ago, so the sound quality is a little meh. But it’s a great interview. Rachel is… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #300 – Review – Rachel and Miles X-plain the X-men
