Ok, so my period started unexpectedly, which explains why I NEEDED dessert at dinner tonight, and have been scarfing Dove chocolates like they’re going to nuke the factory. I hate Dove chocolate. So, tonight, I bring you a post I’ve been thinking about for awhile: Gaming Food. I think we’re all familiar with the stereotypical… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #343 – Gaming Food
Yeah, I missed Tuesday. I went back to the gym Monday night for the first time since the stupid surgeries, and after the personal trainer made me do ALL THE SQUATS, I hurt and after nomming all the things when I got home, I crawled into bed with a bottle of ibuprofen. So Gail Simone,… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #342 – What the shit Fandom?
You know, if you even think of commenting with, “Why would I want to do that?” as a joke, don’t. Just don’t. If you’re not a jerk, then feel free to read on. I know in the past, in answer to the question “How do I get women to game with me?” I’ve given the… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #341 – So You Want to Game with Women, Trans People and POC*…
So, I first met one of the Bombshellers at the first Geek Girl Con at which I did panels, she was part of the group talking with Kelly Sue DeConnick after the Fat Girl Fat Fan panel. The gist of that panel was that there are a lot of plus size nerds out there with money… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #340 – Geek Fashion: Bombsheller
So, yeah, this is my big beef lately, ok, one of them. Earlier this year Marvel signed off on a storyline turning Cap (and Sarah Rogers, grrrrrrr) into fucking Hydra, but the idea of Cap being gay or bisexual is verboten. Bullshit is what that is. Yeah, this one’s gonna get sweary. Why on earth… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #339 – Because Cap Being a secret Nazi is more acceptable than Cap being Queer.
Ok, I broke down and went to see Bendydick Crumblebread in Marvel’s Dr. Strange because I am a sucker for Marvel. And it wasn’t bad. It had its faults. It does not come remotely close to passing the Bechdel test. The Ancient One, as much as I love Tilda Swinton, being whitewashed and the argument… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #338 – Review: Dr. Strange
Ok, 2016, I get it. You’re a badass, getting in as many licks as you can before you’re out… Yup, got rear-ended Tuesday night. So, yeah… I plan on taking a muscle relaxer, and as the Best Girlfriend in the World says, visiting “planet HOW DO PANTS WORK?” as soon as I’m done writing this.… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #337 – Missing Stairs and Co-Opting the Language of the Oppressed
Sorry about missing last week, but the election happened and I’ve done an awful lot of drinking. Apart from my twitter feed, I am not interested in talking about it here. Find me somewhere else if you want to commiserate, or attempt to convince me (not gonna happen) that you aren’t a bigot if you… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #336 – The 20th AmberconNW
Or at least you’d think so if you’d ever been a woman on the fucking internet. It doesn’t seem to matter how serious or frivolous the topic, how well-educated or not we may be, the second we open our mouths on the internet some jerkoff with a keyboard and a burning need to display his dominance… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #335 – A Woman with an Opinion, Must be in Want of a Jerkface to Explain Why She’s Wrong…
All right, I don’t do a lot of promotion here, because I generally enjoy ranting more. But periodically, I feel like I need to promote the hell out of someone or something, and this time it’s the Kickstarter for the second edition of Monsterhearts. I love the original Monsterhearts, and I have definitely voided the… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #334 -Monsterhearts 2 Kickstarter
