Ok, yes, I am a terrible, horrible person. I’ve been sitting on the first two collections since I got them from the author in November. This should also serve as your disclaimer that I got them from Kelly Sue DeConnick herself, so consider yourself disclaimed. Honestly, with everything that happened around then, I just wasn’t… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #289 – OMG! CAPTAIN MARVEL!!!!!!!!
Ok, I’m not going to rehash everything that happened. You can read the Daily Dot article here for a round up, as well this other piece covering it (those links have more links, it’s a rabbit hole). In a nutshell though, some dude who doesn’t even belong to SFWA started up a petition to battle the… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #286 – What the Recent SFWA Trouble says about SF/F
Ok, so it occurred to me that in that post on Engaging Critically with Media, I could have backed it up a bit further, instead of throwing a bunch of jargon at you without defining it. I mean, I do this shit for fun, but not everyone views reading a huge book on how national… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #284 – Critical Analysis of Media a 101 Guide
It dawns on me that not everyone out there has taken a slew of Literary Analysis courses in college while desperately trying to take enough classes to keep financial aid after you’ve run out of coursework in your own major. So, I thought I’d drop some words on you. Now, this isn’t to say that you have… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #282 – Engaging Critically with Media (Horror)
Or as it’s known in our household, Loki 3. I enjoyed the hell out of this movie. It had a much faster pace than the first Thor, following a more Avengers type pacing. Tom Hiddleston was fucking amazing, of course. Well, everyone was. I think that Chris Hemsworth and Natalie Portman being more familiar with… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #280 – Thor 2
We don’t have TV, so thank goodness for Hulu. LOVING IT SO FAR! I admit that the first episode of Agents of SHIELD had the biggest squee factor for me. The second Coulson stepped out of the shadows, I bounced up and down in my seat like a kid. Even the Geek Husband What Rules… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #269 – Agents of SHIELD
OMG!!!!!! No, seriously you guys! I love this book now. Had I read this as a 12 or 13 year old girl, I would probably have read it at least once more since finishing it at 2AM this morning. Disclaimer: I was sent an advance review copy, for free. Also, I am typing this with… Read More Geek Girls Rule #268 – The Department of Cautionary Tales by Katy Stauber
Well, so much for posting every week. Guess who caught the Death Flu last week and spent most of it sleeping in a NyQuil coma? Yes, me. Incredibly, incredibly sick. It was awful. I’m still not completely over it, but I’m giving it a shot. So, part of what I do when I’m sick is… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #267 – What Books Kept You Sane as a Kid/Teenager?
Yes, I know he also named Gene Wolfe. Women still outnumber men on that list. Ok, so it looks like all my fandoms and subcultures are just trying to kill me through high blood pressure induced strokes. First, the fucking Dickwolves, now this. Really? A. I hate genre policing. It’s a bullshit empty past time.… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #264 – Lady Writers Getting Their Cooties on SF
YellowBrickRoad did something no horror movie has done in years, possibly decades: it woke me up with nightmares the night I watched it, to the point I could not go back to sleep. I wound up sitting in bed reading something “light” to be able to eventually go back to sleep an hour or… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #261 – Review: YellowBrickRoad
