Geek Culture, conventions, social lives, philanthropy, fashion, interaction
Ok, so it occurred to me that in that post on Engaging Critically with Media, I could have backed it up a bit further, instead of throwing a bunch of jargon at you without defining it.

So, I kind of dropped the ball and didn’t tell you all that you could have stalked me at RustyCon this weekend. It was pretty good. On the whole it’s a much smaller convention than NorwesCon, but it definitely had its high points. Watching the world’s tiniest Weeping Angel chase her brother, Eleven around the… Read More Geek Girls Rule!#283 – Panels at RustyCon
It dawns on me that not everyone out there has taken a slew of Literary Analysis courses in college while desperately trying to take enough classes to keep financial aid after you’ve run out of coursework in your own major. So, I thought I’d drop some words on you. Now, this isn’t to say that you have… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #282 – Engaging Critically with Media (Horror)

Well, so much for NaBloPoMo. I tried, but life. But, I have a lot to be thankful for. I have great friends, great followers, a great new job. The Enemy of Sleep, Calico Menace and Mutt are all doing well. The Geek Husband What Rules has a job he likes, and that is furthering our… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #277 – Happy Thanksgiving and Help Out an Awesome Dude!
I already adored Anita Sarkeesian’s Feminist Frequency vlogcast, but after she announced her plan to do a Tropes in Videogames series, and the weeping and wailing of tiny man egos began, and her refusal to back down in the face of some truly monstrous internet abuse and vicious personal attacks, I decided she was my… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #276 – Feminist Frequency or My Raging Girl Crush on Anita Sarkeesian
This post is part of my NaBloPoMo experiment. As always, if you have anything you’d like to see me write about, drop me a line in the comments or at my email. So, there are a couple of problematically obnoxious societal constructs surrounding geekdom and emotion, and they are largely constructed around male geek… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #272 – Geeks and Emotions

Ok, I’m not on G+ very often, and a lot of the people I follow or who follow me are game designers I don’t know very well, who I’ve “met” peripherally through other game designers. So. there are frequently people on there that I don’t really know how they’re going to take my “raging” feminism.… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #266 – Yup, Sexism.
