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
This is something I have ranted about before in many locations but never here. But let’s face it. We’re nerds. Most of our hobbies require being sedentary, sometimes for hours at a time, not to mention our jobs. I want to address something about health. A couple of things. First is that you do not… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #530 – A Public Service Announcement
I will not lie to you. I come from a family that views grudge holding as a sport, and an art. I try really hard not let not forgetting that someone has fucked me over crawl over that incredibly fine line into a grudge. These two things are not the same thing. Forgive and Forget… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #518 – Forgiveness and Moving On
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

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. So, Bundle of Holding put together a Fate BoH, and without asking Evil Hat, decided that Contessa would be the beneficiary of it. When Evil Hat found… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #512 – Evil Hat -v- Contessa
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
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
And I realize I’ve probably blogged about this before, but man, I just read a good one. And before we get to that, the vacation was pretty rad. I did not really do much beyond read a lot, nap, fly kites, splash around the ocean, take a four mile hike (2 miles up, 2 miles… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #496 – More Reasons I Like Fanfic
Happy People from Labor Unions got the shit kicked out of them or killed so you could have a 40 hour workweek and an extra day off Day! Sorry to be a bummer, history major. Can’t help it. Yeah, so this Friday I took the Geek Husband What Rules to get his bottom wisdom teeth… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #494 – When it Rains it Pours…
