Ok, in the realm of things most people don’t realize about me is that I know a fair amount about model trains. My Dad was (and still is) really into model trains. We mostly had HO when I was growing up. Later on as he wound up traveling more for work, he started collecting N… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #588 – Model Trains
1. They are releasing a second season of The Last Movie podcast. EEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!! I really enjoy the Public Radio Alliance productions. The Black Tapes, TANIS, and Rabbits have also been fantastic. The end of the Black Tapes was a little disappointing, but overall I really enjoyed it. 2. They are also releasing a second season… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #587 – Podcasts and Stuff
So the Geek Husband What Rules has been watching dungeon terrain tutorials on Youtube, and has decided to get back into that. It helps that these tutorials are available and he’s no longer reinventing the wheel. He was telling me about a conversation with a friend of ours who didn’t get why he’d want to… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #584 – DIY Culture: Why?
Ok, so Tuesday night the migraine started, and lasted all day Wednesday. I went to a hair appt to get bleached with a frigging migraine. Yeah, that was fun. My stylist kept asking me if I was sure I wanted to keep going, if I was ok. I told them, “Yeah, I’m miserable anyway, I… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #583 – Holy Crap…
So, there is one great thing about this whole, “I have no short term memory thing” right now, is that I can do a Kickstarter or place an order on Wish, and by the time it arrives I have completely forgotten what the hell I backed or bought, and it’s like Christmas because I have… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #582 – Man, I Love Kickstarter and Wish
I will attack Jeremy’s post suggestions on the Patreon later, but those of you who played in my Monster Mavens game at last year’s ACNW know how I feel about K-Pop contracts, but the music’s not bad, and the videos have some amazing production values. Anyway, Cats. I have cats in common with so many… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #581 – Cats. Because I said so.
So, I have successfully resisted the lure of Prime Day through two mechanisms. 1. None of the sales are particularly great. 2. Belligerently reminding myself that waiting two days to order something from Amazon in order to support the striking workers who want Amazon to pay them a living wage will not kill me. Trust… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #580 – The Ethical Geek
Ok, so I did not get near as much work on anything done this weekend as I’d been hoping. Saturday was Rolls and Roles, a small, private game day that the AmberconNW folks put on every June. It’s usually 4 or 5 games per two slots and runs from roughly noon to midnight at someone’s… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #576 – State of the Geek/Magic German Tights
And, in what is sure to be a surprise to most of you, I am not talking about any particular stupidity on the internet. No, this is a tendency I have to beat down with large sticks in myself on the regular. Like a lot of my fellow Nerds, I can be a bit of… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #575 – Hush Little Pedant, Don’t Say a Word…
I am about to make someone super unhappy. Because in addition to my, I’m sure, original unsatisfactory to them response, I am about to dissect their comment here to really get into the meat of several assumptions they make and why they’re wrong. Ok, first, the comment in question: My problem is that what I… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #574 – Gatekeeping, Internalized Misogyny, and You
