Geek Culture, conventions, social lives, philanthropy, fashion, interaction
I’ve been mulling this over for weeks. I’m fat. While to many people I don’t look it, I am in fact over the weight where most people think fat people are incapacitated by their fat and unable to function. I assure you this is not so. I, and many other fat people, are perfectly functional… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #249 – On Being a Fat Fan

I feature Tormented Artifacts on here fairly frequently, because he’s AWESOME! Dmitri is a good friend, and also an incredibly talented artist. I own the Windrow-Ravenswood Deck, an bracelet and at least one print of his, which I still need to get framed and hung in my office. I would have more if I could… Read More Geek Girls Rule!

Perpetual Role is a society “for the perpetuation of original tabletop role-playing games.” And, as you may or may not know, tabletop gaming is very near and dear to my heart. Ok, honestly, the only way you could not know that is if you’ve never actually read this blog or listened to my podcast. I… Read More Geek Girls Rule! Promo Week – Perpetual Role
Ok, so the guys at Modiphius have been sending me updates on the Achtung! Cthulhu stuff all along, and I’m woefully behind on reviews, but it looks interesting as all get out! Yeah, I know, I need to quit letting “real life” interfere. Achtung! Cthulhu is setting and rules for Cthuhlu-based roleplaying in both the… Read More Geek Girls Rule! Promo Week – Achtung! Cthulhu
Ok, first, can someone please explain to me this whole thing where spambots “neg” your site to try to get you to post them or click their links or something, because this is just annoying the shit out of me.

Wow, so it’s been a year. I’d like to hit some high and low points in geek culture and life in general. It’s been kind of amazing for strides in equality in Nerd-dom between the genders. More people started to really sit up and take notice of the small but vocal group of women who’ve… Read More Geek Girls Rule #244 – 2012 in Review
Ok, so I’ve longed maintained that I wouldn’t interview guys on the podcast because there are assloads of guys in the geek podcasting world, and I like maintaining the place as one for women by women. But, that said, when it comes to certain topics, like “Nice Guy-“ism, Rape, and the infamous “Friend Zone,” guys… Read More Geek Girls Rule! Podcast #31 – Guys on Guys – FriendZones, “Nice Guys” and How Not to Rape
Ok, I’ve been promising you guys a post-con wrap up for awhile. I apologize. Writing has sort of eaten all my time. That and playtesting. So we may be on a once a week schedule here for awhile. So, AmberconNW is the best vacation in the world for me and the Geek Husband What Rules.… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #243 – Ambercon NW!!!!!
Ok, I am going to go over this one more time. Spurred on by yet another Twitter discussion. Parties can out themselves here if they so desire. No one is trying to demonize honestly awkward dudes of any age with the phrase “Nice Guy ™.” “Nice Guys” aren’t actually awkward. They generally know exactly what… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #242 – Once More With Feeling
