Geek Culture, conventions, social lives, philanthropy, fashion, interaction
April 1st and the morning of the 2nd, we said our good-byes. I think I cried harder over the end of G+ than the last family member I lost. When I said that to the Geek Husband What Rules, he said, “Well, yeah. Your G+ friends ARE your family.” I know a lot of folks… Read More On the Death of G+
Ok, I don’t feel like explaining at length why the guy who wrote the BoundingIntoComics article about what Fonda Lee said is a shithead. Go read his article, you can google it, I’m not linking that asshole. Then go read Jim Hines’s takedown of it. Short version, she said about Barnes & Noble that part… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #550 – Again with a Terrible Dude, and My Petty Annoyance #453487534687
Ok, some of you may have seen on Sunday my tweet talking about how if your knee-jerk response when a woman tells you to quit talking out of your ass is to call her a facist, you’re a dipshit. Seriously. I’m not going to sugarcoat this any more. Look, I get it. Getting called on… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #549 – Dudes, stop
Heist tights. The one year mark. Ok, so I picked up a pair of their heaviest dernier tights this winter, and they were not as good. Honestly, they may be expanding a little too fast, because the last pair of the 50s that I bought were not as good as the initial pairs. I’ve seen… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #547 – Update on the Heist Tights
Ok, so there’s the jewelry company, Ryan Porter, and they do custom jewelry, and I do love the “Harridan” necklace I ordered from them, so I ordered a Geek Girls Rule bracelet from them, just to give it away. Basically, I’m gonna open this up here and on the public blog. And I want to… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #546 – Giveaway and Weird Childhood Shit
Or conversely, everyone has to do some gatekeeping, but when it’s because someone has demonstrated through their actions that they are a douchebag, it’s no longer gatekeeping. Instead it’s boundaries. Yeah, I’ve seen these jackasses with their “I took a philosophy course my freshman year of college,” arguments, and it’s bullshit. Look, wanting to deny… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #542 – What Gatekeeping Is and Isn’t?
Ok, so I’ve spent the last 24 hours in migraine land, and hopefully this doesn’t tip me back in, but here goes. We have reached the stage of gaming’s #MeToo where people have started to realize that they, or people they know have pretty much all given cover to some pretty shady assholes in the… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #540 – Well, this is a Clusterfuck
Ok, so for those of you who might fetishize my typos, you can visit the original twitter thread here. For those of you who would like to see me be slightly more coherent than that, I want to talk about the consequences of assholes like Zak S. on the games industry and community re: marginalized… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #538 – The Result of all the Misogyny
This one’s going public today, because this is important. I’ll make it up to my Patrons in a bit. Promise. Right, I know you all have seen me talk, rant about and refer to bullshit surrounding Zak S, Zak Sabbath, Zak Smith, whatever the fuck he calls himself, before. And you know how I always… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #537 – Gaming’s Latest #MeToo Moment
So, we’re getting down to the wire with the death of G+. Yes, it isn’t officially until April, but it’s losing functionality, like Google’s a slum lord trying to drive out rent-controlled tenants. Anyway, I’ve been doing more mulling. GGR will continue to have a presence at Tumblr, but my personal tumblrs are going to… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #534 – Social Media, again
