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
So, I mentioned earlier, that I would talk about that Polygon article, Gaming’s Toxic Men Explained. Monday night, I sat down with the Geek Husband What Rules and watched Hannah Gadsby’s comedy special, “Nanette,” on Netflix (trailer at link). Ok, so I’m going to spoil some of the comedy special, but I need to in… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #486 – What do a Female Australian Comic and Toxicity in Gaming have in Common?
Ok, so a while ago a friend asked me if I had watched the Netflix Lost in Space reboot. I had not, and as I have not had much time to watch things, I still hadn’t. This morning the Martian emerged from his bedroom and told me he had tried to watch it, and lasted… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #483 – Pet Peeve #482472043572034598
I am not entirely sure how I feel about this. I have read a fair amount of Ellison in my life, he was probably the SF author who came closest to being considered “real” literature, particularly with his collection of short stories, “Love Ain’t Nothin’ but Sex Misspelled.” However, there’s also the fact that Harlan… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #477 – Harlan Ellison
Lets talk about the dudes on Brooklyn 99. I talk about this show a lot because it is one of the very few mainstream shows I watch with any regularity. When it first came out, I was all, “It’s a cop show by the guy from Lonely Island? Hard pass.” But the Geek Husband What… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #476 – Studs, Duds, Pranksters, etc…
These are the four flavors women come in, as far as most media is concerned. Granted it is changing, a bit, but not much. Even the more progressive shows like Brooklyn 99tend not to stray far from them. Rosa (my favorite) definitely falls into the Slut category. She is unapologetic about liking sex with whomever… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #475 – Slut, Maiden, Mother, Crone
Sunday we went to see Deadpool 2. I loved it and totally get why other people didn’t. There were an awful lot of dick jokes. Vanessa gets fridged at the beginning. An awful lot of dick jokes. TJ what’s his butt, who, while funny, is a terrible human being. Honestly, I almost didn’t go because… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #469: Review – Deadpool 2
I’m actually listening to this through Audible, because I got a deal through Amazon, and while I own the ebook, I wasn’t having a lot of luck finding time to just sit and read. So I used one of my credits to get this and start listening to it on one of our 3 hour… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #466 – Review: Nnedi Okorafor – Who Fears Death
First, I would like to thank all of my subscribers. Yesterday, everyone who supports this blog helped pay for the vet appointment that gave us hope for saving the Enemy of Sleep in a way that will cause a minimum of distress. Thank you, very much. In specific you paid for the lab work to… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #464 – Why the Thanos Thing Bugged Me So Much I Couldn’t Let It Go
The BGFITW and the Martian took me out to see Avengers Infinity War Saturday for my birthday. Ok, I was trepidatious as fuck about this one, because as with Civil War, this is not one of my favorite storylines. Seriously, guys, there are soooo many, much better storylines to choose. Ugh. Basically, it was meh.… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #463 – Review: Avengers Infinity War
