Geek Girl Talk, issues that matter to geek girls, misogyny in comics, the dearth of women in the tech industry and gaming industry, the personal is political
It would be way easier to enthuse about my subcultures if they weren’t so busy pissing me off. So, Wizards of the Coast (who in fairness pulled the article really quickly once the complaints started rolling in) allowed Uri Kurlianchik to write an article about girls and gaming and how girls game. Thanks to… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #177 – Girls and Games. AGAIN.

My good friend Jillian Venters, the Headmistress of Gothic Charm School, and I talk about gaming, the Camarilla, and horror movies, lots of horror movies. http://player.wizzard.tv/player/o/j/x/130540523848/config/k-789c63e80a92f152/uuid/root/height/360/width/640/episode/k-d002fe705d461295.m4v

What did… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #155 – What’s a Geek Girl to Do?

I know, I know, I’ve been uncharacteristically cheerful here lately, which is, admittedly, not what most of you tune in for, but hey… Everyone has off months.
