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
Ok, so I have a ton of podcasts in my podcatchers, but I really only listen to a few consistently. After I broke up with Lore over the issue of Spontaneous Human Combustion (pro-tip: It doesn’t exist), I started listening to The Conspirators which I like far better, in no small part because the guy… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #605 – New Favorite Podcasts!!!
So, I vented about the comic book fuckboys who are driving me me batshit right now. And their kissing cousins, the Star Wars fuckboys who I am also done with. But today, after talking over things with the Geek Husband What Rules, I wanted to talk about the fact that EVERY fandom has those people.… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #604 – Every Fandom has them…
Hey, so in the big list of random shit going through my head right now, I’m really thinking of going ahead and reviving the GGR podcast over on Himalaya. It seems like a fairly friendly podcast network. And the podcasters I listen to who use it seem to like it. I’ve never done the podcast… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #602 – Random Things and Emotional States
That’s a party horn. Anyway, 600 posts, not counting random updates, announcements, and Mickey Counts Down videos. That is a lot of words, you guys. A LOT. And I probably need to revamp award tiers, because when I started this I really did not have any idea what the fuck I was doing. So if… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #600 – Fweeeeeee!!
Vacation was great! I will post some links to the GGR Instagram, and the few pics I took on vacation. We were out at Pacific Beach for 5 nights, in a yurt. We spent a lot of time walking on the beach, “car gaming.” The Car Game is a co-operative story we tell each other… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #598 – Fic Ethics
For the Geek Husband What Rules and I life is one big improvisational theater. I do try to rein this in at work where I have to pretend to be a reasonably functional adult. But when it’s just he and I or even if I’m by myself, especially in the car, the gloves are off.… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #597 – Other People Don’t Do This?
So I’ve been casting about for topics for this blog, as I’m still firmly entrenched in recovery mode. Oh my gods, you guys. Life without migraines every other day is fucking amazing. Anyway, I’m still trying to do all the things, which has not, sadly, extended itself to watching and reading all the things. But… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #596 – Shadow Banning, the What and The Who Now?
Happy A Bunch of Labor Activists and Wobblies died and got the shit kicked out of them so you could have a day off Day! Ok, so I’m getting ready to sit down and watch Carnival Row. But I want to get this out of the way first. 1. Migraine update: Being out in bright… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #594 – Cats and Bathrooms
Guys, there is a lot going on. First, I’ll try to quit gushing about the lack of migraines. But it feels like a miracle right now. So it’s going to slip in. Also, given my last post, let me reassure you that you guys are my only sponsors. I’m just really happy to see a… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #593 – So Many…
OK, I am not, in fact, claiming that I changed their mind, but I did write in complaining about their lack of plus sizes. When we moved in with the Martian, he started giving me his MeUndies patterns that he didn’t like. I like wearing jockey boxers around the house and as pjs. And they… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #592 – Fat Fan Action Network Success
