So, Bluestockings has told a friend of mine that she intends to issue a public apology, so standby for a link to that when it happens. But I did want to crosspost this. Bluestockings.ca just published a blog post talking about how femme people don’t have a place in nerd culture. This is… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #517 – What the Shit did I just Read?
Ok, so I bought these last February or March. I wear them weekly. Still no thigh rub, even walking a mile or more when it was hot out. I’ve only put one run in them, and that was totally my fault. After hitting the end of it with some nail polish, it totally stopped and… Read More Geek Girls Rule #514 – Update on the Heist Tights
For those of us who do not work in either the tech or gaming industries, being an adult nerd and meeting other adult nerds can be difficult. I bring this up now, because I have made a nerdy friend at work, and I think this is the first time since I left Tech that this… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #513 – Being an Adult Nerd
Edited to correct Stacy Dellorfano’s pronouns. I apologize for the error in misgendering them. So, many of you are going to be wrong about whose side I’m on.

When Evil Hat found… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #512 – Evil Hat -v- Contessa
Oh my gods! It is really like hanging out with my 120 closest friends. So, this year: First slot: Lady Faiella’s. This is the only recurring and only straight Amber game I’m in.

Ok, I was going to do this last week, but then the Arisia business happened, and I wanted to talk about that. I think I’ve probably mentioned that I spent a lot of time escaping from reality in books as a child and adolescent. Because of that, I have a tendency to get really wrapped… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #507 – I Might get a Little Too Attached to Fictional Characters
Sooo, the Arisia Committee has some ‘splainin’ to do, as I and a bunch of other folks wait for their response to the accusation by a former chair that they value the services of a rapist over the safety and services of his victim. I believe the victim. I stand with the victim. And I… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #506 – Arisia, I am Disappoint
I’ve talked about self care here before, because it’s important. And also because when you google it, you get a lot of pictures of candles, and bubble baths, and hot chocolate. And sometimes those things aren’t very feasible. Owning cats can really put a damper on your enthusiasm for candles, particularly if you’ve ever had… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #505 – Self Care and What Does that Look Like to You
So, once again dudes are proving themselves the weaker sex by coming down with a case of vapors over realistic depictions of male genitalia in comics. Apparently DC’s decided that Batman isn’t gritty enough, so the’ve started a line called Black Label with an eye towards more “adult” and collectible comics. The wang in question… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #504 – Of Batwang and the Male Gaze
Today Google announced the demise of G+. I and an awful lot of people spend a lot of our social media time over on G+ because it is easier to curate who sees your posts and who you see, and it has the benefit of not being as popular as say, Facebook, which is full… Read More Geek Girls Rule #501 – The Death of a Social Media Network
